SLIDE 3

▪ Expanding the EIM to Include Day-Ahead Market Services is under consideration ▪ Overview of Paper

  • The informational paper will be a qualitative analysis of

potential reliability benefits and risks from expanding EIM to include day-ahead market services.

  • It will not address potential economic benefits or

estimate cost savings.

  • It will be based on assumptions for the market design

Qualitative Reliability Assessment

SLIDE 4

▪ Educational

  • Provide a description of how day-ahead processes are

conducted in a bilateral market and contrast that with how they would be conducted if taking day-ahead market services

  • Focus on how these changes could affect reliability
  • Illustrate potential reliability risks and benefits by

analyzing examples: real or hypothetical. Using events in which the presence of market services may have provided reliability benefits or increased risks

▪ Accessible: WECC Board of Directors & state & provincial policymakers and regulators

Report Assumptions

slide-9
SLIDE 9

▪ Qualitative analysis: No cost-benefit or economic analysis. ▪ Reliability in a general sense

  • Include both adequacy and security but not draw distinctions

between them

  • Reliability benefits and risks identified will probably impact

compliance with specific reliability standards, however, will not attempt to identify the specific reliability standards at issue

▪ Bandwidth of the market being analyzed: Addition of day-ahead market services to an existing EIM (EIM + DAMS). We are analyzing the reliability benefits/risks of the DAMS portion, this includes impacts on the EIM/real- time market.

Report Assumptions

SLIDE 10

Market Design Assumptions

10

slide-11
SLIDE 11

1. Participants will be EIM Entities (BAs). 2. EIM Entities will participate in the day-ahead market while retaining their BA planning functions. Balancing Authority Area (BAA) boundaries and NERC-related compliance responsibilities will remain intact. 3. Control of transmission facilities will not be transferred to a market

  • perator.

4. Transmission costs will continue to be collected under each entity’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). 5. Integrated resource planning, resource adequacy procurement, and transmission planning and investment decisions will remain with each BA (and state/local regulatory authority). 6. Participating Entities will use existing infrastructure and market services offered by CAISO (with adjustments); the DAMS will be an additional market service layered on top of the EIM.

11

Core Assumptions

slide-12
SLIDE 12

1. Geographic Footprint: all EIM Entities (current and pending) 2. Participation is voluntary at all levels (e.g., BAs and resources). 3. The market will offer Ancillary Services products to EIM + DAMS participants on the same basis as full ISO participants (reg-up, reg-down, spinning reserve, non-spinning reserve) 4. Participants in an EIM + DAMS may continue their participation in Reserve Sharing Groups (RSGs).

12

Additional Assumptions

slide-13
SLIDE 13

5. An EIM + DAMS will employ a Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC)

  • ptimization process.
  • The SCUC optimization process simultaneously
  • ptimizes energy and ancillary services costs while

ensuring transmission and reliability constraints are not violated.

  • The SCUC will provide the day-ahead schedule used

for the real-time dispatch, i.e., Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) optimization process.

13

Additional Assumptions

slide-14
SLIDE 14

6. An EIM + DAMS will utilize some form of Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP)-based congestion management over the entire CAISO and EIM + DAMS footprint. 7. There will be a Resource Sufficiency (RS) evaluation for entities participating in an EIM + DAMS in the day-ahead (DA) time

  • frame. The DA RS evaluation will ensure adequate capacity by

each participating BA to balance load and manage any contingencies in their BAA (no leaning). No assumption about specific scheme.

14

Additional Assumptions

slide-15
SLIDE 15

8. Transmission: An EIM +DAMS would complement the contract reservation regime and there will be a compensation/incentive scheme that provides adequate motivation to make enough transmission available to ensure adequate transmission capacity to satisfy minimum reliability requirements. No assumption about specific scheme. 9. An EIM + DAMS would supplement or operate along-side the bilateral market in the Western Interconnection.

  • 10. There will not be a capacity market.

Additional Assumptions

Potential Risks and Benefits

▪ Improved coordination across a broader geographic footprint ▪ Better positioning / set-up for real-time

  • perations

▪ Improved situational awareness ▪ Improved congestion management ▪ Expanded solution set for addressing reliability issues ▪ Improved response to variability

Thematic Benefits

▪ Managing seams between markets ▪ Operation of the transmission system ▪ Maintaining additional data and software requirements How these general themes apply to

  • perations….

Potential Risks

slide-19
SLIDE 19

▪ SCUC – Security Constrained Unit Commitment ▪ Potential Benefits

  • Improved Situational Awareness
  • Flow Based Transmission usage

General Day-ahead Operations

slide-20
SLIDE 20

▪ Assumptions –

  • Sufficient Transmission will be made available to

satisfy minimum reliability needs (reserve deliveries, resource adequacy, etc.)

  • Additional Transmission “may” be made

available

  • Seams between separate market footprints will

require a higher level of coordination in resolving reliability issues and congestion

Transmission: Seams and Congestion Management

slide-21
SLIDE 21

▪ Potential Benefits

  • Increased deliverability
  • Increased Situational Awareness
  • Improved congestion management

▪ Potential Risks

  • Uncoordinated response across seams
  • Increased Transmission Usage?
  • Transmission flows different than historical?

Resource Sufficiency

▪ RS Tests for today’s EIM BAs

  • Evaluate if BAs have sufficient resources and flexible

capacity to serve load and manage VER uncertainty

▪ EIM RS comprised of 4 tests

  • Transmission Feasibility (Binding Test)
  • Balancing Test
  • Bid Range Capacity Test (Binding Test)
  • Flex Ramp Sufficiency Test (Binding Test)

▪ Failure of RS results from failing Capacity or Flex Ramp Sufficiency Test

  • Failure results in limitations to market solutions depending

upon which direction failed

slide-23
SLIDE 23

▪ Our Assumption: RS in an EIM + DAMS will continue to prevent leaning and avoidance of incurred costs of capacity, flexibility, or transmission ▪ RS in an EIM +DAMS may be a different flavor of existing EIM RS tests but we make assumptions about the specific scheme

  • External Resources used to help meet RS and located outside

an entity’s BA to will likely need to demonstrate a firm TX path from the Resource

  • Failure of RS on DA offers a chance to correct prior to RT

▪ Without details of RS evaluation in the day-ahead time frame unable to assess reliability impacts

Resource Sufficiency

slide-24
SLIDE 24

▪ Potential Benefits of Procuring AS in a Day- Ahead Market

  • Economic efficiency (not the focus of this report)
  • Operating reserves may be deployed more effectively
  • May reduce overloaded constraints
  • Reduces the likelihood that lines will reach thermal

capacity

  • May reduce losses
  • Larger geographic footprint, broader pool of

resources, and automated processes may improve the speed and quality of contingency response

24

Ancillary Services (AS)

slide-25
SLIDE 25

▪ Potential Risks of Procuring AS in a Day- Ahead Market

  • Positioning resources to accommodate needs of

larger EIM footprint may make certain resources “less available” for individual BAs

  • Economic – investment in Day-Ahead services

may not yield material reliability-specific benefits

Ancillary Services

slide-26
SLIDE 26

▪ Potential Benefits of Day-Ahead Market Operations

  • Model the set of credible contingencies and

transmission network topology anticipated by each BAA for next day operations.

  • Allows for a coordinated, wide area, positioning
  • f resources.
  • Increased response time, and reducing manual
  • peration from system operators, if a contingency
  • ccurs.
  • Account for next-day impacts of forecasted severe

weather or other abnormal conditions.

Contingency Analysis, Severe Weather, and Unexpected System Conditions

slide-27
SLIDE 27

▪ Potential Risks of Day-Ahead Market Operations

  • Inaccurate modeling of actual system conditions

(e.g., transmission system network topology, contingencies) could result in:

  • Inaccurate unit commitment and dispatch.
  • Increased manual operator action and out-of-

market solutions to maintain system reliability.
