Outage Management System Customer Partnership Group November 2017 - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Outage Management System Customer Partnership Group November 2017

Customer Partnership Group Scope and Objective

• Created in response to customer’s request to have more

involvement in the planning, design and usability validation phases

• f ISO application development
• Provide an open interactive partnership forum to identify potential
• pportunities to improve the overall customer experience
• Share ideas, opinions and provide feedback
• Discuss issues and concerns, and answer customer questions
• All ideas are welcome and will be considered based upon feasibility,

prioritization and timeline constraints. Not all ideas may be feasible to implement

• Meetings vary in frequency to review progress, provide feedback on

design and usability and discuss implementation approaches

• Active participation is critical to the CPG success and to improve our

customer’s experience interacting with ISO applications

Performance Concerns – Background

Generation Outages: CAISO has observed many factors impacting OMS performance and growth. Results show a couple findings:

• Participants are submitting values for resource availability on an hourly

basis with a Nature of Work ‘Ambient not due to temperature’ when the values are not changing. This has a significant impact on the number of records in OMS and transferred to our downstream systems (Markets, EMS, etc). – ISO has considered OMS options to collapse contiguous availability points, but each option does not solve the performance problem for OMS.

• Participants are continually trying to retrieve resources for which they are no

longer the scheduling coordinator (1,000+ attempts per day). These fail based on our security, but this adds load to the system.

• Long-running outages with many availability points take a long time to open

and act on.

Performance Concerns – Action Requested

In response to these issues, the CAISO is taking steps to improve the product performance and scalability, but we need your help with good housekeeping. Action Requested:

• CAISO requests that participants ensure that availability points are only

submitted when they have changed.

• CAISO requests that participants actively remove resources that have

changed ownership.

• CAISO requests that participants limit generation outages to a duration no

longer than one year.

Acceptable Use Policy

For service consumption, the ISO has the following acceptable use agreement. For each identity and service, the consumer shall invoke the service no more often than once every 5 seconds. ISO production services may only be consumed for production purposes.

• Limited to OMS API Retrieves only

– Not API Submits and not UI traffic

• The enforced limit is at the resource or outage ID level every 5 seconds

(Certificate/User/Resource or Outage ID)

• If a resource or outage is not being queried, enforcement will be by transaction, per

certificate, per service every 5 seconds Next Steps:

• CAISO has enabled AUP in MAPStage; Proposed production date is January 2,

2018.

OMS Customer Partnership Group Roadmap

Page 8

Roadmap Item Description Target Generation: MasterFile Ramp Rate Changes MF ramp rate changes should make invalid

• nly outages with NoW or RAMP_RATE.

January Generation: Overlapping Ancillary Service (AS) outages Allow overlapping AS outages, the current validation that restricts a user to not allow

• verlaps will be removed.

January Transmission/Generation: Request is for a new "Data Range" Update the Outage Summary, Outage Request Summary, and Warning Summary to include an

• ption in the Date Range dropdown called

“Yesterday, Today & Next Day.” January Transmission/Generation: Broadcast version updates CAISO to broadcast when an outage is updated and a new version is created within the OMS system. TBD Transmission: Trumping Allows the system to apply the switch configuration of an outage if its priority trumps

• ne or more existing outages.

TBD Generation: Overlapping PMIN Cards Allow overlapping PMIN rerates TBD

Generation Functional Changes

Summary

• The Nature of Work (NoW) Entry display and NoW Summary display will

have two (2) new flags added: “RA Resource Only” and “EIM Only.” Functionality Changes

• When an outage is entered using a Nature of Work that has the “RA

Resource Only” flag set to “Yes,” a validation will be added to verify that the resource is Resource Adequacy (RA) designated at the start time of the

• utage. If it is not, an error will be returned stating “The Nature of Work

selected can only be used with RA resources.” This validation will occur at

• utage entry and outage modification.
• When an outage is entered using a Nature of Work that has the “EIM Only”

flag set to “Yes,” a validation will be added to verify that the participant’s Organization Type is set to EIM. If it is not, an error will be returned stating “The Nature of Work selected can only be used with an EIM participant.” This validation will only occur at outage entry.

Generation Web Service v2

Summary

• Nature of Work (NoW) now has CONTINGENCY RESERVES

MANAGEMENT for EIM entities, and UNIT CYCLING is changed to 'TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS NOT IN MARKET MODEL‘. Web Services Impacted – Minor Change

• SubmitRegisteredResourceOutage_V2,

SubmitRegisteredResourceOutageChangeRequest_V2, RetrieveRegisteredResourceOutage_v2, RetrieveRegisteredResourceOutageChangeRequest_v2, RequestResourceOutage_V2, and Action: Generation users who use the Unit Cycling NoW and EIM entities who need to use Contingency Reserves Management must update to the new service as soon as possibly and no later than February 1, 2018.

Transmission Web Service v2

Background: V2 of the transmission submit and retrieve services now has the ability to submit and retrieve many equipment rating changes. To ensure data integrity, TOs must retrieve transmission outages with all equipment rating changes in order to submit any changes to the outage. This ensures that any ISO entered ERCs are not overwritten. This is similar to how the switch data is managed today. V2 also has Resource Interconnection Management System NoWs that are used by CAISO for network model promotions. Action: TOs must update to the V2 transmission web services by February 1, 2018 to resolve the single versus multiple equipment rating change (ERC) issue. Issue – Payload structure does not easily distinguish between equipment that is out of service versus a equipment rating change. This will be resolved in V3 to be released for fall 2018.
