Overview of EOP SPP.org 9
Overview of EOP Review some sections of EOP • Highlight certain portions • Discuss coordinated activities • Identify expectations • 10
Coordinated Activities SPP.org 11
Severe Weather Alerts – Section SPP may take steps to assist in optimizing fuel supply: • – Conserve fuel in short supply by de ‐ committing resources and coordinating outages – Have participants update CROW and commitment status in Markets UI/API to reflect changes, as needed – Appeal to Stakeholders to use alternative fuels – Optimize operations to increase availability of generation – Optimize units that have limited operations hours 12
Severe Weather Alerts – Section 9.2 (cont’d) SPP will also consider: • – Requesting steps to ensure adequate reserves are available – Requesting steps to ensure adequate fuel supplies are available – Identifying changes in operating reserve capacity for the period 13
Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) – Section 6.3 If an EEA 1 is declared, SPP BA will: • – Identify and curtail non ‐ firm sales – Commit all available resources – Identify outages that can be postponed or delayed 14
EEAs – Section 6.3 (cont’d) In an EEA 2, SPP BA will: • – Notify MPs of imposition of emergency ratings on resources – Utilize OEC to get assistance from RSG – Put all generation on ‐ line that is available – Prepare for potential load shedding – Curtail non ‐ firm sales – Implement plan for curtailable/interruptible loads 15
EEAs – Section 6.3 (cont’d) In an EEA 3, SPP BA could: • – Direct TOPs to implement load shedding plans 16
Fuel Supply and Inventory – Section 5.1 Intent is to provide SPP with enough information in a timely • manner to properly evaluate overall fuel inventory Provide information that is not readily available through • other methods, such as CROW or Markets UI/API 17
Conservative Operations – Section 9.1 Conditions are such, or expected to be such, that some • extraordinary measures may be necessary to maintain reliable operations – Early committal of resources – Bridging of resources – Delaying/postponing outages, if possible – Additional status updates, as needed 18
Conservative Operations – Section 9.1 Notify Stakeholders, neighboring BAs and RC the need to operate in • Conservative Operations environment, via notifications listed in Section 4.7. Operate to conservative transfer limit values. • Operate to selected double ‐ contingencies. • Operate with greater unit commitment notification timeframes, including • making commitments prior to Day Ahead Market. Operate with increased operating reserve requirements • Operate with increased reliability margin • Operate with timely coordination calls, at least daily, to share reliability • information with impacted entities. 19
Notifications and Alerts SPP.org 20
Communications – Sections 4.8 Telephone call to the appropriate SPP operations desk • Email to shiftsupervisordesk@spp.org • CROW; updated with the outage and/or de ‐ rates with the • appropriate reason for status change ICCP • Markets UI/API; updated to reflect any changes • Monthly reliability call (restricted to TOPs only) • 21
Alerts and Other Notifications RCIS is good site to access Reliability Coordinator notices • – TOPs and others should subscribe to follow notifications 22
Energy Emergency Alerts (EEA) – Section 6.3 SPP could issue an Emergency Capacity Shortage Notification • – Section 6.3.1.2 Load management alerts (EEA 2) could include notifications • to: – Reduce load through public appeals – Implement load management systems – Implement voltage reduction – Implement curtailment of interruptible loads and exports Load management alerts (EEA 3) might include: • – Load shedding, as needed, on a pro ‐ rated basis at TOP level 23
Information & Data SPP.org 24
Stakeholder Information Fuel Supply and Inventory, Section 5.1 • Interruptible and Curtailable Loads, Section 6.3.2.6 • Islanding or restoration information • Loss of Necessary Applications, Section 9.4 • – Systems – Data Reporting Issues • – Loss of load or customers 25
Summer Preparedness Scenario #1 SPP.org 26
Severe (Hot) Weather Pattern Assumption: Severe Weather Alert has been sent earlier • and is still in effect. SPP identifies a weather pattern that indicates SPP BA • will be experiencing significant load increase and potential fuel and/or resource issues due to extreme hot weather. 27
Severe (Hot) Weather Pattern Conditions indicate potential for: • – Stranded capacity due to transmission outages – Unexpected resource outages – Forward looking Studies indicate normal operations could lead to increased risk of sufficient BA capacity for affected period 28
Conservative Operations SPP has assessed the situation and determined there is • a need to enter into Conservative Operations, such that extraordinary measures may be necessary to mitigate the additional risk during the impacted period. SPP will issue a notification to participants of the intent • to operate under Conservative Operations mode. 29
Conservative Operations ‐ Notification SPP will identify the period in which the situation is • expected to last. SPP will identify the actions expected: • – Entities shall look at preparations of resources to ensure resource availability, as much as possible. – Entities should notify SPP of any expected fuel issues during the impacted period. *Resource plans cannot reflect some of the conditions we need to know. 30
Conservative Operations ‐ Notification Participants shall suspend any outages that may be • reasonably postponed or delayed until after the impacted period, unless they do not impact the situation or if the outage would somehow enhance reliability. All such decisions should be coordinated with SPP RC, • especially during these operating conditions. 31
Conservative Operations ‐ Notification SPP will identify the period in which the situation is • expected to last SPP will identify the actions expected • – Entities shall look at preparations to make resources available, as needed – Entities notify SPP of any expected fuel issues during the impacted period – Participants postpone or delay any outages until after the impacted period 32
Conservative Operations – Possible Actions SPP will consider committing units prior to the DA • Market and DA RUC to allow for fuel procurement SPP can decide to bridge units if the risk to re ‐ starting a • unit is significant SPP will provide daily status updates • 33
Conservative Operations Alert Screenshot of Conservative Operations Alert email • 34
Conservative Operations Alert Who gets the Alert: • – MPs email list – GOP RC email list and TOP RC email list – Neighboring BAs and RCs Mechanisms • – Emails – MUI posting – OASIS posting – RCIS posting 35
Summer Preparedness Scenario #2 SPP.org 36
Severe (Hot) Weather Pattern Heavy North to South flows • Weather forecasts identify increased likelihood of • tornados in SPP BA Area Studies indicate normal operations could lead to • insufficient BA capacity for affected period 37
Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) SPP BA has identified circumstances in which SPP • forecasts its inability to maintain reserves SPP BA requests the SPP RC initiate an EEA 2 • SPP BA will initiate the following: • – Public appeals to reduce demand – Voltage reduction – Interruption of non ‐ firm end use loads in accordance with applicable contracts – Demand ‐ side management – Utility load conservation measures – All available generation on line 38
