15 Minute Scheduling Task Force JJ Jamieson Chair 15MINTF August 17, 2011
Overview Comprised of MIS / ISAS members Discussing the “how” of 15-minute scheduling rather than the “why” Purpose - to solicit and compile a solid understanding of how 15-minute scheduling would impact WECC members
Survey The task force asked for information on how intra-hour scheduling was currently being handled and what it would take to move to 15 minute scheduling Safe to say there is not a common approach to either how we are currently dealing with intra-hour scheduling or how we would deal with “imposed” 15 minute scheduling
The Survey The survey was composed of 10 key areas Bumping of Schedules Duration of Schedules Volume of Transactions Common Timelines Coordinated Checkouts Accounting Transmission Rights Staffing and Automation Reliability Standards and Criteria Ramping
Work completed and observations • The task force has completed the initial survey and performed an analysis of the results • It appears that the majority of the impact would be realized by the Transmission Providers • There was agreement on a number of issues such as: • bumping • need for common ramp rates at points of interchange • concerns about intra-hour transmission products • etc
Next Steps • The task force has created a second survey and will be circulating it within the next two weeks to get a better understanding of the impacts • Transmission Providers are recipients • This survey will only be circulated to Transmission Providers • Questions and comments to: john.jamieson@pgn.com
Next Steps (cont) • Hope to have Transmission Provider responses back by end of September / early October • Compile input received and report back to MIS and ISAS
Next Meetings • Late September to review responses from the Transmission Provider’s survey and assign tasks for completion of presentation • October to finalize presentation
