Objectives for PCI Outage-Management Module

Automate workflow to:– Capture all Plant Outage

information required by ISO– Submit outage & deratings to

the new SPP Outage Scheduler system

– Manage all Communications and approval process with ISO schedulers

– Manage Communications and approval process with Plant Managers

Submit outage data to NERC GADS and produce plant performance reports

Use outage & derating data to formulate DA & RT offers and forecast DA awards for generators

SPP Outage Management

SPP is replacing their “OPS1” Outage Scheduler Solution SPP Go-Live is 9/13 using SPP Web page. API becomes available on 9/20.

Option to keep existing business process or migrate to direct submit by Generators.

SPP Outage Scheduler will be integrated into Current Market now and pushed over to future market.

PCI Outage Management can implement with SPP API so clients can manage outages from PCI instead of from SPP Web page.

PCI Outage Management functionality can be delivered for use with new SPP Outage Scheduler.

Major changes from OPS1

Important Differences between OPS1 and CROW No longer limited to submission at a Balancing Authority

level, may submit at the GOC level. SPP’s CROW will use complete names. PCI automatically

translates from your in house names to the SPP names. Generation derates will be handled differently from what is

currently in OPS1. Generation derates reflect the unit’s Net Available Capacity.– Ex: 100 MW unit is derated to 75 MW. Unit is available to

produce 75 MW. (In OPS2 you would enter a 25 MW curtailment.)


Capabilities of PCIOutage-Management Module

Enter, edit, and submit outage requests:– Planned (>= 48 hours Lead Time)– Urgent (>= 24 hours to 7 days Lead Time)– Emergency (<= 24 hours Lead Time)– Forced (<= 1 hours Lead Time)

Manage 3-way communication between plant managers, portfolio managers, and ISO operators: – Submit requests internally for

approval and manage approval process

– Submit outage requests to ISO Outage Schedule for ISO approval

– Track ISO approvals – Manage pending requests– Track submissions and alarms

Using PCI Outage-Management Moduleto Automate NERC GADS Reporting

Capture all outage & derating data required to support NERC GADS reporting:– Assign unique GADS Id

for each outage– Provide combo box to

allow user to select GADS cause code

– Allow user to specify unit code and utility code required for NERC reporting

– Assign a 2-character event type to describe outage

– Specify an equipment type associated with outage event

Using PCI Outage-Management Moduleto Create GADS Performance Reports

Capture EMS Breaker Status.

Can automatically Generate Outage Tickets based on the breaker status

Compute GADS Performance Statistics

Generate GADS Performance Reports by Plant/Unit

Generate NERC-compliant files

Option to ETL GADS Data to PCI Data Warehouse for BI Reporting

Example 1 – GADS Reporting – Event Reporting and Analysis

Example 2– “In the Money” Analysis– Compare GADS Performance Records to

Performance History in the ISO


Sample PCI Report to Summarize Turbine Service Hours

Fully Integrated with PCI GSMS Modules

• PCI Outage Manager is fully integrated with other PCI Modules

• Outages can be entered in the PCI Outage-Management Module. After outage is approved: PCI Bid Formulator can

automatically adjust offer parameters to reflect the current outage status

PCI Bid Evaluator can be run to Forecast DA Awards

PCI GenTrader can use outage information for unit-commitment and production costing runs
