AEP Energy Partners Files NPRR to Eliminate Requirement for Wind QSEs to Submit 7-Day Forecast in COP

September 28, 2010

AEP Energy Partners has submitted Nodal Protocol Revision Request 281 to eliminate the requirement that Qualified Scheduling Entities representing Wind-powered Generation Resources (WGRs) must provide a 7-day forecast in their Current Operating Plan (COP).  

Under NPRR 281, ERCOT would provide a profile for hours 49-168, which QSEs representing WGRs will be then be required to enter and maintain in their COP.

AEP Energy Partners said that the market has already determined that a single forecast provided by ERCOT is more reliable than individual forecasts developed and submitted by each WGR, as shown by ERCOT’s provision of the Short Term Wind-Power Forecast (STWPF) and the requirement that QSEs representing WGRs must use this forecast in their COP for hours 1-48.  "It is not in the best interest of the market to require each WGR to develop a 7-day forecast.  Such forecasts would be inherently unreliable and would also vary widely across WGRs," AEP Energy Partners argued.

Furthermore, ERCOT already has a 7-day profile that it can provide to WGRs, AEP Energy Partners said.
