Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources Phase 2 Working Group Web Conference 9/13/16
Summary
The California ISO is establishing a working group to discuss use-limitations for non-generator resources as part of the Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources Phase 2 stakeholder initiative. The web conference is scheduled for September 13, 2016. Please submit comments on the discussion by September 20.
Main Text
The ISO is establishing a new working group within the Energy Storage and Distributed Energy Resources (ESDER) Phase 2 initiative to explore use-limitations for non-generator resources. The first web conference for this working group is scheduled on September 13, 2016.
Representing use limitations in the non-generator resources model continues to be a high priority among stakeholders. Stakeholders have expressed interest in exploring whether non-generator resources can qualify for use-limited status. Use-limited status is available for certain generating resources that are able to define commitment costs, such as start-up costs, minimum load costs and minimum megawatt hour run time for market optimization and bid cost recovery. While the existing ISO Commitment Cost Enhancement Phase 3 (CCE3) initiative defines rules for storage modeled under the ISO’s Proxy Demand Resource (PDR) model, storage modeled under Non-Generator Resource (NGR) is not within scope of that initiative.
The ISO recommended in the July 21 ESDER Phase 2 revised straw proposal that a working group be established to discuss and further understand how NGR resources might be qualified and treated under a use-limited designation. The working group to discuss use-limitations for non-generator resources will look at the current efforts of the CCE3 stakeholder initiative as a foundation, how the ISO defines use limited resource qualification and subsequent treatment of those resources and explore if such a designation has merit and is feasible for non-generator resources.
An agenda and presentation to help guide the discussion will be available by close of business September 11 on the initiative webpage at http://www.caiso.com/informed/Pages/StakeholderProcesses/EnergyStorage_DistributedEnergyResourcesPhase2.aspx.
Please submit comments on the discussion to initiativecomments@caiso.com by close of business September 20.
