Monitoring – the CAISO ensures that the CAISO Market Analysis Team and the Department of Market Monitoring have the data that is required to adequately monitor market performance. Parallel Operations Planning – the CAISO and prospective EIM Entity ensure that systems, processes and staff are prepared for deployment of systems, parallel operations, and support beyond parallel operations for issues that may arise. Communication - the and prospective EIM Entity ensure all tools and procedures used for communication between the CAISO and prospective EIM Entity are in place and tested before the implementation date EIM Available Balancing Capacity – the CAISO and the prospective EIM Entity register resources that the prospective EIM Entity intends to identify as EIM Available Balancing Capacity in the EIM Resource Plan. Readiness Metrics, Criteria, and Thresholds Readiness Criterion Identifier Readiness Category Criteria Measurable Elements Threshold* 1 Prospective EIM Entity Full Network Model Integration Generation, Interchange and Load comparison Load, EIM Internal Intertie and EIM External Interties, and Generating Unit definition in the Full Network Model is consistent with the Load, EIM Internal Intertie and Data matches within 10%, measured in MW capacity to start parallel operation, and within 5% before full activation. Discrepancies, if any, are
5 Agreements Execution of Necessary Agreements The prospective EIM Entity has executed all necessary agreements. The prospective EIM Entity will execute all agreements, as outlined in Section 5 of the EIM BPM within the required timelines outlined in Section 5. 6 Operations Training Completion of mandatory training courses Prospective EIM Entity operators who will have responsibility for EIM operations, transactions and settlements, will complete CAISO training modules. Prospective EIM Entity operators will complete training and close-of-training assessment in the appropriate timeframes as outlined in “100 series”– an introduction to Energy Imbalance Market training “200 series”– the specific hourly and daily tasks and duties for normal operation training module; and “300 series”– the assessment of market results and response to contingencies and abnormal situations training module. 7 Forecasting Capability Load forecast capability Definition of EIM demand forecast boundaries based on the conforming and load characteristics, as applicable Accuracy of the CAISO forecast of EIM demand based on historical actual load data for the defined EIM demand forecast boundaries. Identification of weather station(s) locations used All Plant Information (PI) tags and historical data for defined load area(s), and load, if applicable, compared with load forecasts provided from CAISO (if CAISO load forecast used). conforming
in forecasting, if applicable, 8 Forecasting Capability Variable Energy Resource (VER) forecast capability Identification of the source of VER forecasts. (If a participating wind or solar unit requires a CAISO forecast, then BPM and Tariff requirements apply.) Forecasting entity must demonstrate delivery of Unit MW forecast at 5 min intervals for at least three hours ahead. Forecasting entity must also provide base schedule by T-75, T-55 and T-40. EIM Entity provides to CAISO real-time MW production PI tags. 9 Forecasting Capability Flexible capacity requirements CAISO has established flexible capacity requirements for the prospective EIM Entity Balancing Authority Area and the combined EIM Area including the prospective EIM Entity The CAISO has received and stored all historical data from the prospective EIM Entity necessary and sufficient for the CAISO to perform the flexible ramp requirement. 10 Balanced Schedules Base schedule balancing capability The prospective EIM Entity Scheduling Coordinator demonstrates its ability to balance EIM demand and EIM supply for the prospective EIM Entity’s Balancing Authority Area 90% or greater of base schedules balance tests during monitored hours are within 10% average imbalance of load forecast over one day period before parallel operation, and 5% average over five full days before full activation. The CAISO will provide examples of MW thresholds for each prospective EIM Entity to indicate a reasonable threshold as it applies to a given EIM Entity and indicate the potential implications of a swing from 5% over to 5% under forecast in one hour to the next.
11 Balanced Schedules Flexible ramping sufficiency test capability The prospective EIM Entity \ Scheduling Coordinator demonstrates its ability to pass the flexible ramping sufficiency test Passes 90% of the time or greater over monitored hours of one day before parallel operation and five days before full activation 12 Balanced Schedules Capacity test capability The prospective EIM Entity Scheduling Coordinator demonstrates its ability to pass capacity test Passes 90% of the time or greater over monitored hours of one day before parallel operation and five days before full activation. The CAISO will explain the implications of any potential issues with the reliability of an EIM Entity to meet its capacity requirements. 13 Operating Procedures CAISO operating procedures (relevant to EIM operations) The prospective EIM Entity signs CAISO non-disclosure agreement and receives appropriate CAISO “public” and “restricted” operating procedures Operating procedures NDA signed by the prospective EIM Entity. The prospective EIM Entity receives CAISO operating procedures four months prior to the parallel operations date. 14 Operating Procedures Prospective EIM Entity operating procedures The prospective EIM Entity operating procedures are defined, updated, and tested for the EIM Entity Scheduling Coordinator The prospective EIM Entity operating procedures are updated tested and implemented prior to parallel operations date. 15 System Readiness & Integration Functional Testing The prospective EIM Entity and the CAISO will test the functional and system elements in accordance with functional and system testing documentation posted on the CAISO website All tasks identified in the functional and system testing documentation are completed and will not have any issues deemed significant. Any exceptions will be explained or have an interim solution that is functionally equivalent.
16 System Readiness & Integration System Integration The prospective EIM Entity and CAISO will test system integration testing in accordance with the system integration testing documentation posted on the CAISO website All tasks identified in the system integration testing documentation are completed and will not have any issues deemed significant.
