BLTS Updates of 8/29/18 DRWG Presentation
 
BLTS PRD/PFP Issues Update

Purpose
 
Update participants on three changes implemented in BLTS
These three BLTS changes were identified in a larger set of
proposed changes across multiple platforms in a presentation
to DRWG on 8/29/2018 and were implemented in late 2018
Notification of three changes was made via email to the
DRWG mailing list on 12/10/2018 but not presented at DRWG
with the opportunity for questions and clarifications
 
RESOLVED ISSUES

Flagging of Zero Load Data coming via RTU
 
Following a July DRWG discussion a decision was made to
discontinue the flagging of zero load intervals received
through the RTU as bad quality
Prior to this change when a zero was submitted through the
RTU, ISO automatically attached a bad quality flag and the
DDE had to evaluate if that flag was the appropriate one for
the DRA and switch the flag to good if not.  Now, the
responsibility of the DDE is reversed.  ISO now attaches a good
quality flag to the zeros and the DDE must set the flag to bad
where appropriate.
Implemented November 26, 2018 with notification via email
on December 10, 2018

Bad Quality Data within First Baseline Calculation
 
Since the beginning of FCM, the tariff requirement to have a
‘complete’ set of data in order to calculate an initial baseline was
interpreted to mean 100% complete (no missed intervals) and
100% good quality data
With the PRD implementation, the restriction of assuring 100%
good quality has created an unnecessary administrative burden
for participants and caused delays in getting new assets into the
market
The revised requirement has been implemented as 100%
complete with no missing intervals
Implemented November 26, 2018 with notification via email on
December 10, 2018

DRA Meter Data Correction Submission Windows
 
 
On the implementation of PRD there were three DR MUI data submission
windows:
Window 1 Open 
– Interval data corrections for a day could be made beginning from
2 hours following RTU submission up to 1.5 days following the operating day
Window 2 Closed 
– Interval data corrections for a day could 
not
 be made from 13:00
on the second day following the operating day through the date of the monthly bill
Window 3 Open 
– Interval data corrections could again be made on the day
following the date of the monthly bill through 70 days following the last day of the
operating month (the resettlement deadline)
These restrictions were based on the need to have fixed calculations for the
initial settlement of Demand Resources in the capacity market
With the primary settlement now being the bi-weekly billing for the energy
market, ISO has removed the “closed” restriction from Window 2.
This allows a wider window for data corrections for both the operating day
and the previous baseline days to be used to calculate the initial bi-weekly
energy settlement – leading to better initial settlement accuracy

10, 2018

Participants were updated on three changes implemented in BLTS, identified in a larger set of proposed changes across multiple platforms. Changes were notified on 12/10/2018. Resolved issues and updates were discussed regarding flagging of zero load data and bad quality data within first baseline calculations. Implementation dates for these changes were in late 2018. Further details were provided on DRA meter data correction submission windows.
