Antitrust Admonition
ANTITRUST ADMONITION
ERCOT strictly prohibits Market Participants and their employees who are participating in ERCOT activities from using their participation in ERCOT activities as a forum for engaging in practices or communications that violate the antitrust laws. The ERCOT Board has approved guidelines for members of ERCOT Committees, Subcommittees and Working Groups to be reviewed and followed by each Market Participant attending ERCOT meetings. If you have not received a copy of these Guidelines, copies are available at the Client Relations desk. Please remember your ongoing obligation to comply with all applicable laws, including the antitrust laws.
DISCLAIMER
All presentations and materials submitted by Market Participants or any other Entity to ERCOT staff for this meeting are received and posted with the acknowledgement that the information will be considered public in accordance with the ERCOT Websites Content Management Operating Procedure.

Agenda
• Antitrust Admonition
• Environment Report– Planned / unplanned outages – Known Issues
• Standing Reports and Updates– General reminders / updates– Real Time Market / LFC Update– State Estimator Convergence Statistics– 5 Hour Full System Market and Reliability Test Results– 24 Hour Full System Market and Reliability Test Update– 24 Hour Full System Market and Reliability Test Reminders
• Question and Answers / General Discussion
ERCOT asks that Market Participants log into the WebEx session using their company name and then their name. This will allow ERCOT to take roll-call offline

• N/A
• Unplanned Outages
• 07/28/2010 01:00 P.M. – 07/28/2010 01:30 P.M.
– Users may have experienced intermittent issues in downloading real time LMP data. The root cause of the issue is currently being investigated.

Known Issues
Recently Opened Issues• SCED Step One curve generation incorrect when (0 MW, $0) point is in
submitted EOC– SCED uses an incorrectly formed energy offer curve when a market
participant submits a curve that includes a price/quantity pair of $0 at 0MW. To workaround this issue, market participants should substitute a nearby pair for this point, such as $0.01 at 0MW.
• NP6-621: SE Load Report - Individual Load on Electrical Buses (MIS Secure)– Sums of loads only represents a percentage of the actual ERCOT load– Affects CDR
Recently Closed Issues• The following EDW reports had previously been failing with error messages:
– NP8-501-Monthly Resource Energy Deployment Performance Report (MIS Certified Report)
– NP8-541-Monthly Responsive Reserve Performance Report (MIS Secure Report)

5-Hour Full System Reliability and Market Test Results
• Completion Criteria:– The rolling CPS1 one minute average score must equal or exceed 100% during
the test period. • Note that CPS1 metric will not apply to periods during testing wherein
system tuning is being performed by either ERCOT or Market Participants– HE12-73, HE13-112, HE14-103, HE15-120, HE16-103
– Zonal Commercially Significant Constraints (CSCs) and Closely Related Elements (CREs) managed below thermal limits. The Zonal CSCs were not activated during the test
– Local Congestion managed below thermal limits. Two local constraints binding during the test
– Stability limits managed below transfer limits No stability limits were activated during the test
– No NERC Disturbance Control Standard (DCS) failure if applicable Not applicable during the test
– No LFC-SCED system issues that result in termination of the test. No– Procedural and software fixes have been verified to address lessons learned
from previous rounds of testing Migrated patches into NPROD and verified prior to the test. There were no shift factors transfer failures during the test.
Note: The individual QSE GREDP analyses from the 5-Hour test will be distributed the week of July 26th

24-Hour Full System Reliability and Market Test Update
24- Hour Full-System Market and Reliability Test • Timeline– The 24-Hour Workshop was provided during the 7/23 RT Market Call
• http://www.ercot.com/calendar/2010/07/20100723-MT– The 24-Hour Test will be conducted Aug 4 – 5 – Proposing a start time of 12pm• Market Notices– A Market Notice was sent July 27 confirming the upcoming 24-Hour test – A follow-up notice to be sent today (7/30) confirming Aug 4 as the start day– A final Market Notice will be sent on the day of the test to confirm that the test will be
conducted that day• Other details– On the test day, a hotline call will confirm the start time of the test (approximately 2-3 hours
prior to start)• A market-facing WebEx conference will be provided—WebEx details will be
emailed to Nodal Transition Project Managers the week of the test– ERCOT and Market Participant staff should be available and ready to field troubleshooting
calls at 8am on the first day of the test– A System Wide VDI will be issued immediately prior to the start of the test

24- Hour Full-System Market and Reliability Test (continued)• Operational Scenarios– Issue Non-Spin Deployments
• ERCOT plans to issue Non-Spin Deployments to Generation Resources during the 24-Hour LFC Test
– ERCOT will deploy a small MW quantity of Non-Spin to offline Generation Resources that have a zonal Non-Spin obligation during the test period
– The Non-Spin will be deployed first in zonal and then will be deployed to the same QSEs/Resources in nodal
• The scenario is expected to last approximately one hour• Hotline calls will be used to announce the start and end of this scenario

Manual dispatch instructions during the LFC test• Beginning two hours prior to the LFC test, ERCOT will stop using
OC1s and OOMEs and plans to use OC3s to manage congestion– The one exception to this is that ERCOT will use OC1s for the W-N and
the N-H stability limit (non-thermal IROL for NERC) during transition periods to and from Nodal control
– ERCOT has created and tested constraints for these limits in the Nodal system which can be activated for SCED as needed and should provide similar dispatch to the OC1s
• ERCOT may be required to use Zonal manual dispatch instructions to solve congestion
• ERCOT will set the Nodal Base-Point to match the Zonal manual dispatch instruction
• The QSE will continue to follow the Nodal Base Point if they are still under Nodal control

RSTs to be used during Ramp-Up / Ramp-Down• RST during Ramp-Up:
• Between 0 MW and LSL, the telemetered RST should indicate online status• SCED will dispatch the Resource to its current output
• Between LSL and HSL, the telemetered RST should reflect unit activity per the Resource Status Codes provided in the Nodal Protocols
• RST during Ramp-Down (to OFF):• Use RST of “OFF” to take unit out of pool of Resources available for economic
dispatch by SCED• This method is being suggested for purposes of LFC Testing and may not
be the method used for nodal market go-live• RLC will set HDL/LDL that it passes to SCED such that the Resource will
be ramped offline

Non-Spin Deployment (Nodal and Zonal system)• If required, Non-Spin will be deployed from the Nodal system during the 5-Hour
LFC Test (this is not a formal operational scenario for this test)• Zonal will also continue to deploy Non-Spin• When Non-Spin is deployed in one system, ERCOT will select the same
QSE/Resources for deployment in the other system• QSEs are requested to keep their telemetered Resource Status Codes, Non-
Spin Responsibilities, and Non-Spin Schedules in Nodal reflective of their Zonal Non-Spin obligation
• After a Non-Spin deployment, QSEs must also update their Nodal EOCs, Output Schedules, Telemetered Resource Status Codes, and Resource Limits in preparation for Resources coming online so that SCED can dispatch Resources appropriately once they become available
• The QSE should also adjust the telemetered NSRS Schedule in the Nodal system to reflect the Nodal deployment

Market Participant EMS Wind Unit Data Note• Set Real-Time telemetered HSL value to current MW output per (NP 6.5.5.2(3))
• Additional detail was added to this protocol reference as part of NPRR 214• If the Wind-Powered Generation Resource (WGR) is not being curtailed, the
HSL should be set at the actual net output of the WGR• In event of curtailment (i.e., a SCED instruction at least two MW lower than the
unit’s current MW output), the HSL should be set at the capability that the facility would have if it were not being curtailed• This estimate should be based on wind speed, power curves, and turbine
availability• The QSE shall set the HSL within one SCADA cycle after receiving a SCED
Base Point Dispatch Instruction from ERCOT• This will allow the QSE to more easily detect if the WGR must respond to a
curtailment instruction
