Ten Minute Recallable e-Tag Functionality for Reserves

INT-011-WECC-CRT-2

A. Introduction

1. Title:Ten Minute Recallable e-Tag Functionality for Reserves

Regional Criterion

2.Number:INT-011-WECC-CRT-2

3.Purpose:To define the use of ten-minute recallable e-Tag as a reserve product.

4.Applicability

This document applies only to those entities whose market rules allow for 10-minute recallable transactions.

4.1.Balancing Authority

4.2.Purchasing-Selling Entity

5. Effective Date: June 12, 2013

B.Requirements

WR1.Each Purchasing-Selling Entity (tag author) submitting a Request for Interchange (RFI) for ten-minute recallable reserve transactions shall specify each of the following:

1) Transaction type option set to “recallable”;

2) Energy product type option set to “C-RE”;

3) Reserve obligation multiplier option set to “100%”; and

4) Reserve responsible entity set to either of the following options in order to identify the entity accepting the energy:

  • Sink Balancing Authority (or)
  • Reserve Sharing Group member that is located inside the Sink Balancing Authority

WM1. Each Purchasing-Selling Entity (tag author) submitting a Request For Interchange (RFI) for ten-minute recallable reserve transactions will have evidence that it specified in the Request For Interchange (RFI) for ten-minute recallable reserve, each of the items as required in WR1.

WR2. Each Purchasing-Selling Entity and each Source Balancing Authority that activates recallable reserves shall submit a downward e-Tag market level profile adjustment that includes each of the following characteristics:

1)A start time that is no earlier than ten minutes prior to the submittal time.

2)A default ramp duration of zero.

WM2. Each Purchasing-Selling Entity and each Source Balancing Authority that activates recallable reserves will have evidence that it submitted a downward e-Tag market level profile adjustment for that activation and that the e-Tag included each of the characteristics required in WR2.

WR3.Each Source Balancing Authority and each Sink Balancing Authority shall approve an e-Tag upon receipt of a downward e-Tag market profile adjustment for recallable reserve transactions, including intra-hour transactions.

WM3. Each Source Balancing Authority and each Sink Balancing Authority will have evidence that, upon receipt of a downward e-Tag market profile adjustment for recallable reserve transactions, it approved the e-Tag, including intra-hour transactions.

For purposes of proving compliance with this Requirement, if an entity has not received such a request, the entity shall certify in writing that no such requests were received.

Guideline and Technical Basis

WR1 allows each Purchasing-Selling Entity (tag author) to reflect the information needed to indicate where ten-minute recallable reserves are being held.

WR2 recognizes that either the Purchasing-Selling Entity or the Source Balancing Authority may activate recallable reserves. Whichever entity actually “activates recallable reserves” will be responsible for submitting the e-Tag with the required specifications as listed in WR2, 1 and 2.

WR3 ensures that ten-minute recallable reserve e-Tags are approved. The phrase “including intra-hour transactions” is there to highlight the fact that the Requirement not only addresses transactions within the hour but also transactions that are less than one hour in duration.
