Summary:

Outage Reporting White Paper. Prepared by the Department of Market Monitoring California Independent System Operator. August 9, 2006

Extract:

This document was prepared by the CAISO’s Department of Market Monitoring (“DMM”) to provide a background and framework for the CAISO’s review and potential revision of outage reporting requirements in the CAISO tariff. The paper summarizes key issues and data DMM believes are relevant to establishing a minimum MW threshold for Generating Unit Forced and Ambient Outage reporting requirements and presents a straw proposal for a reporting requirement. DMM has worked with Grid Operations staff in preparing this paper, and has sought to include their initial general assessment of the adequacy of different Outage reporting levels in terms of system reliability, since DMM believes that reliability and operational issues should be the primary criteria that Outage reporting requirements are designed to meet.
