WMPP ID: 157 Resource Capacity Accreditation in the Forward Capacity Market Proposed Effective Date: FCA 19 The Resource Capacity Accreditation (RCA) project proposes improvements to ISO-NE s accreditation processes in the Forward Capacity Market (FCM) to further support a reliable, clean-energy transition by implementing methodologies that will more appropriately accredit resource contributions to resource adequacy as the resource mix transforms The ISO has made a commitment to FERC to file proposed improvements in time for FCA 19 In July and August, the ISO presented main components of its conceptual design and illustrated the design with a simple example This presentation introduces the conforming changes to the demand curves A separate presentation has more details on the proposed resource model enhancements Graphs and numerical examples do not reflect estimates of the impacts of potential reforms but are merely stylized examples ISO-NE PUBLIC 2
WMPP ID: 157 Resource Capacity Accreditation in the Forward Capacity Market Proposed Effective Date: FCA 19 At the June through August meetings, the ISO and stakeholders discussed average and marginal accreditation approaches At the October meeting, the ISO will address remaining questions on average and marginal accreditation approaches and wrap up this discussion area ISO-NE PUBLIC 3

REVIEW OF MRI-BASED CONCEPTUAL DESIGN ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 5
Presented August MC /RC Meeting RCA Improvements Opportunity #1: Current capacity accreditation framework can be improved to reflect different resource contributions toward resource adequacy. These adjustments will better yield accredited capacity that is substitutable between resources, which is beneficial as unique resource types enter the market RCA will implement a MRI framework that improves resource substitutability Opportunity #2: Current resource adequacy assessment process can be improved to better reflect resources expected performance and reliability contributions as the resource mix changes RCA will improve resource adequacy assessment modelsfor more accurate calculation of resource accreditation values ISO-NE PUBLIC 6
Presented August MC /RC Meeting MRI-based Capacity Accreditation Framework As explained in July, there are several key components of the MRI-based capacity accreditation proposal, which are summarized below: Each resource s Marginal Reliability Impact (MRI), in hours/year, represents the Expected Unserved Energy (EUE) change over a small increase of Qualified Capacity (QC): MRI= EUE/ QC Each resource s relativeMarginal Reliability Impact (rMRI) to perfect capacity is a ratio (no units): rMRI = MRI/MRIperfect Each resource s new accredited capacity, Qualified MRI Capacity (QMRIC), will be calculated in MW: QMRIC = QC rMRI rMRI Qualified Capacity (QC) Qualified MRIC (QMRIC) ISO-NE PUBLIC 7
Presented August MC /RC Meeting MRI-based Capacity Accreditation, cont. Under MRI-based accreditation, two obligations are produced subsequent to market clearing The new Capacity Supply Obligation (CSO) or cleared QMRIC, a market quantity used for capacity base payment, etc. The Effective CSO (ECSO) associated with CSO, a physical representation of CSO used for FCM reliability reviews, etc. FCM Clearing Physical & market quantity Current: CSO QC Physical quantity QC ECSO New: 1/rMRI rMRI FCM Clearing Market quantity CSO QMRIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 8
Presented August MC /RC Meeting Resource Adequacy Assessment Model Enhancement Resource Adequacy Assessment (RAA) models will be enhanced to allow more accurate calculation of resources MRI The current load shape in RAA will be enhanced with a composite load shape reflecting representative summer and winter weather conditions Intermittent resource models such as solar and wind will be enhanced with hourly output profiles Energy storage resource models will be enhanced Gas-only resource models will be improved by incorporating gas supply constraints More details about proposed model enhancements will be discussed in a separate presentation ISO-NE PUBLIC 9
Presented August MC /RC Meeting Capacity Demand Curves The ISO has already applied the MRI concept to its capacity demand curves MRI-based Zonal Demand Curves By applying the same MRI concept and consistent resource mix assumptions to both supply and demand sides of FCM, the supply and demand will properly align MRI-based Demand Curve MRI-based Resource QC accreditation Accreditation ISO-NE PUBLIC 10
CAPACITY DEMAND CURVES UNDER RCA ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 11
Roadmap In August, the ISO used a fixed capacity demand to illustrate its conceptual design for simplicity of the small example The actual design uses capacity demand curves The following slides introduce the conforming changes to the capacity demand curves under RCA at the conceptual level Review of current QC-based capacity demand curves QMRIC-based capacity demand curves under the MRI framework Translating QC demand curves to QMRIC demand curves ISO-NE PUBLIC 12
CAPACITY DEMAND CURVES UNDER RCA Current QC-based Capacity Demand Curves ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 13
Types of Capacity Demand Curve ISO-NE currently models 3 types of demand curves in its FCM: System capacity demand curve Import-zone capacity demand curve Export-zone capacity demand curve The zone configuration is determined prior to the auction based on transmission analysis The FCM produces cascaded capacity clearing prices An import zone clearing price is no less than the Rest of Pool (ROP) capacity zone clearing price An export zone clearing price is no more than the ROP clearing price ISO-NE PUBLIC 14
Illustration of Current QC Demand Curves The three types of demand curves are illustrated below $/kw-m $/kw-m $/kw-m Import zone demand curve System demand curve Export zone demand curve System QC (MW) Import zone QC (MW) Export zone QC (MW) These curves are for illustration purpose only; details of the current QC demand curve construction can be found in FCM 101: Lesson 4 Capacity Zones and Demand Curves ISO-NE PUBLIC 15
Current QC-based Capacity Demand Curve Current QC demand curve is the demand MRI function (in term of total QCz of the system or zone) multiplied by the scaling factor : ? ????(???)z represents a system or zone is determined such that at the 1-in-10 criterion or Net ICR, the system marginal reliability benefit equals the marginal cost of capacity or Net Cost of New Entry (Net CONE), i.e., ? = ???????/??????(??????) For any total QCz in the system or zone, MRIz(QCz) represents the marginal reliability impact, measured by EUE reduction, with respect to a small change to QCz, i.e., MRIz = EUE/ QCz(same concept for resource MRIs) ISO-NE PUBLIC 16
CAPACITY DEMAND CURVES UNDER RCA QMRIC-based Capacity Demand Curves ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 17
QMRIC Demand Curves Under The MRI Framework Under the MRI framework, the definition of capacity demand curves remains the same, i.e., the marginal reliability benefit of increasing one MW of capacity in a system or zone With MRI-based accreditation, capacity in the system or zone is measured in QMRIC (instead of QC) For any total QMRICz in the system or zone, the demand MRI function represents the EUE reduction with respect to a small change to the total QMRICz in the system or zone, i.e., ???? ?????? = ???/ ?????? ISO-NE PUBLIC 18
QMRIC Demand Curves Under The MRI Framework, cont. With the updated demand curve scaling factor , the QMRIC demand curve for a system or zone under the MRI design is ? ???? ?????? z represents a system or zone is determined such that at 1-in-10 criterion, the system marginal reliability benefit equals the marginal cost of capacity The definition of capacity demand curve did not change with QMRIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 19
CAPACITY DEMAND CURVES UNDER RCA Translate QC Demand Curves to QMRIC Demand Curves ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 20
Relationship Between Total QC and Total QMRIC The current QC-based demand curve and the QMRIC-based demand curve have the same definition, except for different measures (QC or QMRIC) of total capacity in a system or zone For a system or zone, its total QC and total QMRIC have the following relationship: ??????= ??? ????? rMRIz is the relative MRI of the mixed resources in the system or zone, or QC-weighted average rMRI of the mixed resources This relationship is used to translate QC demand curves to QMRIC demand curves ISO-NE PUBLIC 21
Constructing QMRIC-based Demand Curve From QC- based Demand Curve QMRIC demand curve can be constructed by translating the QC-based demand MRI function to QMRIC-based function and by updating the parameter ? to ? Each point (???, ????) on the QC-based demand MRI function for a system or zone is translated to the point (??????, ???? ) on the QMRIC-based demand MRI function by simple scaling, i.e., ??????= ??? ????? and ???? = ????/????? (See Appendix) ? is updated with the ??????? and at-criterion ?????? under the MRI design (See Appendix) values ISO-NE PUBLIC 22
Stylized Example Illustrating the Construction of QMRIC-based Demand Curve Suppose that the current QC-based demand MRI function is y = 1 ? and the demand curve scaling factor is 1 The QC-based demand curve is 1 (1 ?) as illustrated in the upper figure Suppose that the rMRIz of the resource mix in the system or zone is 0.8 and the updated demand curve scaling factor =1 The QMRIC-based demand MRI function is ? = 1 0.8(1 The QMRIC-based demand curve is 1 as illustrated in the lower figure $/kw-m 1 (1 ?) QC (MW) $/kw-m 1 ? 1 1 ? 0.8) 0.8 0.8 ? 0.8 1 1 0.8 QMRIC (MW) ISO-NE PUBLIC 23
CONCLUSION ISO-NE PUBLIC ISO-NE PUBLIC 24
Key Takeaways Under the MRI-based accreditation, supply and demand quantities of capacity are both measured in QMRIC The total QMRIC in a system or zone can be translated from the total QC using rMRI of resource mix in the system or zone QMRIC-based demand curve can be translated from the QC- based demand curve by scaling both quantity and price ISO-NE PUBLIC 25

Appendix: Deriving QMRIC-based Demand MRI Curve From QC-based Demand MRI Curve Given total ?????? in a system or zone, ???? ?????? represents the EUE reduction from increasing QMRICz by 1 MW 1 MW increase of QMRICz translates to (1/rMRIz) MW increase of QCz since QMRICz = rMRIz QCz Since the EUE reduction from 1 MW increase of QCz is MRIz(QCz), the EUE reduction from 1 MW increase of QMRICz, or (1/rMRIz) MW increase of QCz, is (1/rMRIz) MRIz(QCz) Thus, ???? ?????? can be represented as (1/rMRIz) MRIz(QCz) or (1/rMRIz) MRIz(??????/rMRIz), i.e., ???? ?????? = 1/????? ????(??????/?????) ISO-NE PUBLIC 33
Appendix: Updating The Demand Curve Scaling Factor The current demand curve scaling factor is calculated as ???????/ ??????(??_?????????) Net CONE is calculated as PPR H BR, where PPR is the capacity Performance Payment Rate (PPR), H is the number of estimated annual scarcity hours, and BR is the balancing ratio of (Load + Reserve Requirement) / Net ICR The at-criterion ?????? is obtained from the QC-based demand MRI function The demand curve scaling factor under the MRI design is calculated as ??????? /?????? (??_?????????) Net CONE is calculated as PPR H BR where BR is (Load + Reserve Requirement) / At-criterion Capacity Requirement The at-criterion ?????? is obtained from the QMRIC-based demand MRI function ISO-NE PUBLIC 34
