NOGRRs for review and language changes:

• 101NOGRR Market Transparency for DC Tie Outage Information.  This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) provides that ERCOT shall produce a detailed report regarding any outage of a Direct Current Tie (DC Tie) in a timely manner.  Outages of interconnection points between the ERCOT and non-ERCOT Control Areas have market implications on both the ERCOT market and the interconnected market.  Detailed information regarding such outages is necessary for Market Participants on both sides of the interconnection point to be able to manage risk associated with such outages. [Tenaska]  Impact Analysis Review.
• 104NOGRR Removal of Transmission Operator Definition from the Nodal Operating Guide. This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) proposes deleting the definition of Transmission Operator from the Nodal Operating Guides. [ERCOT] Language review.
• 106NOGRR Delegation of Firm Load Shedding Responsibility This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) clarifies that a Distribution Service Provider (DSP) may make an agreement with another Entity that delegates the responsibility for managing both automatic and Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) firm Load shed. [BTU] Language Review
• 105NOGRRGeneration Resource Frequency Response Test Procedure, submitted by the Performance. This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) adds a Governor Test form for Controllable Load Resources and proposes minor corrections to calculations.  (PDCWG) Language review and ERCOT comments.

Other:

• For group discussion We may have a sample from Isabel Flores for verifying RARF data vs Real-time Reactive testing each calendar year.
•  We need to look at our scope document to see if it needs to be updated.
• Discussion on how to handle the Texas RE request to review the following issues: Language in the Protocols indicates real -time data for reliability purposes must be accurate within 3% percent.  Language in the Operating Guides indicates voltage is to be maintained within 2% of the voltage profile.  These requirements appear to conflict with each other, even though by the hierarchal process, the Protocols supersede the Operating Guides in this case.  Additionally, language in ERCOT’s Steady State Voltage Control Procedure states that transmission voltage should not exceed 105% nor fall below 95% of the nominal voltage during normal operation of the system and that transmission voltage during emergencies (including contingency events) should not exceed equipment over excitation ratings.
