ERCOT Cites Expanding AMS Meter Implementation To Improve Data For Settlement, Credit & Load Management In 60-Point Roadmap For Reliability
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by EC Infosystems, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
ERCOT today issued a "Roadmap to Improving Grid Reliability."
ERCOT stated in a market notice that, "The Roadmap identifies a number of initiatives ERCOT intends to take, or has already taken, to further enhance grid reliability and adequacy and improve communications."
Among the 60 points which are part of the ERCOT roadmap are the following:
• Work with Transmission and Distribution Service Providers and customers to
expand AMS meter implementation to improve timeliness of accurate meter data
for settlements, credit calculations, and load management.
• Conduct a study of credit best practices to reduce the risk of future under
collateralization while avoiding uneconomic barriers to entry.
• Eliminate barriers to distributed generation, energy storage, and demand response/
flexibility to allow more resources to participate in the ERCOT market while also
maintaining adequate reliability.
• Review reliability of current and projected resource mix and evaluate market
changes to incentivize sufficient dispatchable resources.
• Evaluate market incentives to improve fuel security.
• Consider on-site fuel supply including contracts with remote secured supplies.
• Conduct a study to gauge the impact of varying levels of wind and solar penetration,
including the impact of energy storage and dispatchable energy, as well as revenue
adequacy for each of these levels.
• Evaluate the adequacy of ancillary services products and quantities to be procured.
• Evaluate requiring inverter-based resources -- such as wind and solar generators --
to provide additional reliability attributes such as grid-forming capability to protect
Texans in the most dangerous grid conditions.
• Conduct a study to understand key future business drivers such as the integration
of battery storage and distributed generation resources.
• Assess the potential costs and benefits of increased transmission both internal and
external to ERCOT and increase coordination with other power regions.
