Market Performance and Planning
Forum
July 18, 2012
Objective: Enable dialogue on implementation
planning and market performance issues
• Review key market performance topics
• Share updates to 2012-2013 release plans, resulting
from stakeholders inputs
• Provide information on specific initiatives
– to support Market Participants in budget and resource
planning
• Focus on implementation planning; not on policy
• Clarify implementation timelines
• Discuss external impacts of implementation plans
• Launch joint implementation planning process

Non-Generator Resource (NGR) Updates
• NGR Expected Energy Algorithm and SIBR Rules
Published
• In both set of rules, a generalized feature is planned
beyond the base model (Fall 2012 Release),
-- GMIN : Min Capacity at NGR Generating Side. This is a
zero or positive number. For the base model, it is zero
and market participants can not register this value;
-- GMAX: Max Capacity at NGR Generating Side. This is
a positive number. For the base model, market
participants register this value to ISO‟s Master File as
Pmax of the NGR resource;
Slide 22
Non-Generator Resource (NGR) Updates …continue
-- LMIN: Min Capacity at NGR Load Side. This is a zero
or negative number. For the base model, it is zero and
market participants can not register this value;
-- LMAX: Max Capacity at NGR Load Side. This is a
negative number. For the base model, market
participants register this value to ISO‟s Master File as
Pmin of the NGR resource.

Slide 26
NGR Model
• New Resource class (dedicated rule flows)
• Continuous operating range:
– From Maximum Load (charge): Lmax
– To Maximum Generation (discharge): Gmax
• No inter-temporal constraints
• Energy and all Ancillary Services bids
– No support for AS self-provision, RA, RUC, or TOR/ETC
• Generating or Load Energy PT self-schedules
• Ramp Rate curve (up to two segments)
• Lower and Upper Charge Limits

• If Bid Fill Option is “History”
– Copy DAM Clean Bid from last similar Trading Day
• Copy Market Accepted Bid (7-day ahead)
• If Bid Fill Option is “Last”
– Copy Bid from previous Trading Day
• If Bid Fill Option is “No”
– No Generated Bid unless for RA
• If Market Fill Option is “No” or in Exception List
– Market bid prices replaced with proxy bid prices
Slide 31
MSG Enhancements – Phase 3
• DAM Self-Schedule Validation for State Group Inter-
Temporal Constraints
– A MSG may have multiple (nested) State Groups
– Minimum Group Up Time
• Includes on-state times for states inside the group
• Includes state transitions between states inside the
group
– Minimum Group Down Time
• Includes on-state times for states outside the
group
• Includes state transitions into and out of the group
Slide 32
Greenhouse Gas Allowances in Proxy Bids
• Greenhouse Gas Allowance adder ($/start) in Proxy

– All segments (up to 3)
• Greenhouse Gas Allowance adder ($) in Proxy Minimum

– Unit adder ($/MWh) Pmin
• Greenhouse Gas Allowance adder ($/MWh) in Proxy

– All segments (up to 10)
Slide 33
Other Changes
• RMT Self-Schedule Validation
– Against On/Off Peak registered maximum quantity
depending on Trading Hour
• Registered Energy Self-Schedule Resource
– Only self-schedule allowed
• Cleanup and Clarifications
– Removed support for ECA/ACA and Base SS
– Consolidated MSG Enhancements – Phase 2 from

Briefing on Local Market Power Mitigation Schedule
Delay
Page 35
• Presented to BOG July 12, 2012
– Background on LMPM Enhancements
– Phase 2 Implementation Challenges
– Delay to Spring 2012 Release
– Updated Schedule Milestones Provided under
Spring Release 2013 update for LMPM P2
Background on local market power mitigation
enhancements: …continue
• July 2011: Board approved new local market power mitigation
– Phase 1 (Implemented April 2012):
• Day-ahead and real-time mitigation triggered based on
decomposition of locational marginal price
• Dynamic competitive path assessment in day-ahead
– Phase 2 (Planned implementation Dec 2012):
• Dynamic competitive path assessment in real-time
• Perform mitigation hourly and 15 minutes in real-time
• February 2012: Briefed the Board on impact of using phased
approach for dynamic competitive assessment in real-time.
Slide 36
Local market power mitigation phase 2 implementation
challenges: …continue
• Phase 2 software implementation is more challenging:
– Performing mitigation every 15 minutes while
maintaining performance requirements is more
complex than day-ahead.
– Vendor requires additional time
– ISO requires sufficient time for testing and simulation
• Keeping local market power mitigation phase 2 in the
Fall release would risk delay of the remaining twelve Fall
release projects.
Slide 37
Phase 2 local market power mitigation is now scheduled
for the Spring 2013 release. …continue
• Delay is less than five months in coordination with the next
major scheduled release
• Real time congestion is less frequent in winter and early
spring months compared to summer
• ISO does not want to rush implementation and risk
insufficient testing of this important enhancement

Performance of LMPM Enhancements Phase I

Manager, Analysis and Mitigation

Slide 39
Performance of RTM LMPM Enhancements Phase I
• Performance of LMPM in the real time market
– Accuracy of HASP in predicting RTD congestion.
– Comparison of path designations – current CPA v.
dynamic CPA.
– Resource bid mitigation under Phase I.
Slide 40
Accuracy of HASP in predicting RTD congestion
• Objective is to identify and mitigate local market power in
the 5-minute RTD market.
• Use HASP to do this 74 minutes in advance.
• Little “over-identification” of market power, however under-
prediction is high.

• Apr 25 – Jul 13
Comparison of path designations – current CPA v.

• 781 Constraint Hours.
• Current CPA 19% competitive
– Nearly all constraints are uncompetitive by default.
• Dynamic CPA 72% competitive
– Evaluates each constraint given conditions observed
when HASP MPM runs.
– Conditions observed in HASP MPM are not as
constrained as those observed in RTD…
Slide 42
Comparison of path designations – dynamic CPA in
HASP MPM v. RTD.
• Conditions typically more constrained in RTD.
– Competitive designation in HASP MPM often not
competitive in RTD.
• DCPA in HASP MPM rarely mis-identifies constraint as
uncompetitive.
Slide 43
