Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: May 26, 2015
Sponsor: ERCOT
Urgent: No
Sections: 6.5.9.4.2
Description: This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) revises the Energy Emergency steps to include concepts discussed during the 4/2/15 Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) workshop # 3 which will improve the management of EEA. Specifically, this NPRR explicitly adds the ability for operators to consider whether sufficient Resources are available to recover reserves within an acceptable timeframe following a disturbance before declaring an EEA; separates and clarifies the triggers for entering each step of the EEA plan from the operational goals while operating within each level of EEA; and formalizes an amount of Physical Responsive Capactiy (PRC) for operators to target when determining Load shed amounts in EEA Level 3. This NPRR also removes the requirement to notify the Southwest Power Pool Reliabilty Coordinator when an EEA is declared as this is a NERC requirement and is covered in the Operating Procedures.
Reason: Addresses current operational issues.
