Main
Text
The
California ISO is initiating a stakeholder process called Standard Capacity
Product Outage Reporting to address the standardization of outage reporting
requirements for wind, solar and all other resource adequacy resources for the
purposes of standard capacity product availability calculations.
The
ISO has posted a combined issue paper and straw proposal to its website at http://www.caiso.com/27da/27dadd7343e40.html
and scheduled a conference call for July 28, 2010 to discuss the
paper. Stakeholders can submit written comments to chinman@caiso.com by close of business
August 4.
Background
On
June 22, 2010 the ISO filed the Standard Capacity Product Phase II
tariff amendment which extends the Standard Capacity Product tariff
provision to resource adequacy resources with qualifying capacity determined by
historical output. If approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) as proposed, this tariff change will, among other things,
incorporate the forced outages of wind and solar resource adequacy resources in
the calculation of standard capacity product availability standards and metrics.
The proposed effective date of this change is January 1, 2011.
Until
recently, forced outage reporting rules for all resources with maximum capacity
10 megawatts or greater required reporting after a change in the maximum output
capability of at least 10 MW or 5 percent of the value registered in the
masterfile, whichever is greater. As a result of FERC’s order on the
ISO’s Eligible Intermittent Resource (EIR) filing, effective July 1,
2010,,
wind and solar resources with maximum output capability 10 MW or greater are
required to report outages that are 1 MW and greater. This creates
inconsistencies between how standard capacity product non-availability charges
and availability payments affect the EIR resources versus how they affect
non-EIR resources. The California ISO is initiating the outage reporting
initiative to resolve these inconsistencies.
