ERCOT Panhandle Hub Analysis Recommendations
Panhandle Bus Definition
QMWG
June 5, 2017
Purpose
NPRR817, Create a Panhandle Hub, is under
discussion and appears to have significant support;
however, the confidence in the Hub definition is not
strong. This analysis aims to provide options for
ERCOT stakeholders to consider.
Disclaimer – this is the independent work of Megawatt Analytics, LLC and is not at
the behest of any stakeholder and certainly should not be interpreted as such.

Rules of Hubs
Protocols
•
List of busses cannot be modified unless physically
removed (3.5.1(2))
•
Perpetual (2.1)
•
Simple averages – quantity of generation or load at bus
is irrelevant. (3.5.2)
Rules
•
Average price of aggregated nodes (§25.501 (g))
June 5, 2017
Patton Hub Recommendations
Avoid intra-hub congestion
?
The day-ahead market model should be used to test the definition
of the hub by submitting large net energy purchases and sales at
the hub location under a defined range of market conditions
The nodes selected for use in the hub should be electrically
similar and have a relatively stable price relationship in
aggregate
?
Resource node price correlations are strong, proposed hub bus
correlations could be tested
Use consistent weighting of nodes between definition of the
hub and the distribution methodology
Using non-energy weighted simple average is consistent with
distribution methodology ( 4.5.1 (6) )
June 5, 2017
Methodology for Hub Analysis
1)
Assume Panhandle GTC should be the basis for
Hub definition;
2)
Find SCED interval with only Panhandle GTC
binding;
3)
Sort using “LMPs by Electrical Bus” report;
4)
Map electrical bus to substations using:
•
Settlement Points List and Electrical Buses Mapping
•
ERCOT Steady State Planning Data Dictionary
•
Day-Ahead PSS-E Network Operations Model and
Supporting Files

Two or more distinct Settlement Points that are either

or are mapped to locations that are connected by a

These changes appear
to be reasonable, but
note PH1 to Railhead
included, but PH2 is
not.

June 5, 2017
Some of these are
reasonable, but note
GRANDVW1 is on the
margin, SPLAIN1 is
close, and PH2 does
not qualify while its
sister bus did.

Statistics of Real Time RN LMPs
Mean difference = $0.08
Median = $0.00
Max difference = $59.72
Correlation between
known Resource Nodes
in the proposed hub is
very strong, but weaker
compared to existing
Hubs. A better look
would be to compare
proposed Hub bus LMPs,
but data is not readily
available.

The Abernathy Option
June 5, 2017
Several potential plans
would tie the panhandle
in to the rest of the
system through
Abernathy making it an
intuitive candidate for a
Hub Bus.

Analysis of the Panhandle Hub definition under NPRR817 shows options for ERCOT stakeholders. Recommendations include avoiding congestion, testing hub definition using day-ahead market model, and consistent weighting of nodes. Methodology involves using Panhandle GTC, SCED intervals, sorting LMPs, and mapping electrical buses to substations for analysis.
