NYISO Tariffs --> Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff (MST) --> 5 MST Control Area Services: Rights and Obligations --> 5.1 MST Control Area Services
The ISO will provide Control Area Services in accordance with the standards and criteria of NERC and NPCC and the NYSRC Reliability Rules and Good Utility Practice. The Control Area Services provided by the ISO include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a)Developing and implementing procedures to maintain the reliability of NYS Power System;
(b)Coordinating operations with other Control Area operators;
(c)Arranging for reserve sharing agreements with other ISOs and other Control Areas to enhance reliability during abnormal operating conditions;
(d)Coordinating the outage schedules for generating units within the NYCA to maintain system reliability;
(e)Committing adequate generation resources to ensure the reliability of the NYS Power System;
(f)Taking command and control of the NYCA resources during Emergency conditions and coordinating operations with Transmission Owners;
(g)Maintaining and Operating a central control center and performing the functions of the NERC security control center for the NYCA under Emergency operating conditions;
(h)Defining the Installed Capacity requirements for LSEs, inclusive of individual customers taking services directly from the ISO, within the NYCA;
(i)Determining Locational Installed Capacity requirements for LSEs to ensure the reliable operation of the NYCA;
(j)Administering of an Installed Capacity Market;
(k)Training the operating personnel of the ISO and Transmission Owner control rooms; and
(l)Administering the mandatory NERC reliability compliance process.
In accordance with applicable requirements in this Tariff and the ISO Procedures, all Customers shall conform to all applicable reliability criteria, policies, standards, rules, regulations and other requirements of NERC, NPCC, NYSRC, any applicable regional council, or their successors, the ISO’s specific reliability requirements and ISO Procedures, and applicable operating guidelines and all applicable requirements of federal and state regulatory authorities. Failure to conform to these requirements may subject a Customer to direct assignment of penalties assessed against the ISO by FERC, NERC, NPCC or any other federal or state regulatory authority as a result of such Customer’s failure to conform.
The ISO’s compliance with applicable reliability criteria, policies, standards, rules, regulations and other requirements is sometimes dependent on timely, accurate and adequate information and/or action on the part of a Customer. If the ISO is found to be non-compliant with respect to any applicable reliability criteria, policies, standards, rules, regulations and other requirements as a result of a Customer’s actions or failure to act in violation of an obligation imposed by the ISO Tariffs, ISO Procedures, or ISO Related Agreements, the ISO may seek to directly assign to the Customer the cost of a penalty imposed on the ISO as a consequence of its non-compliance. If the Customer is found to be non-compliant with respect to any applicable reliability criteria, policies, standards, rules, regulations and other requirements as a result of the ISO’s actions or failure to act in violation of an obligation imposed by the ISO Tariffs, ISO Procedures, or ISO Related Agreements, the Customer may seek to directly assign to the ISO the cost of a penalty imposed on the Customer as a consequence of the ISO’s non-compliance. Any direct assignment of penalty costs must first be approved by FERC, as provided in Schedule 6.11 of the OATT.
If direct assignment to a particular Customer is not possible or if the ISO is directly responsible for a violation because of its own action or inaction, the ISO may seek to recover such penalty costs in Schedule 6.11 Section 6.11.3 of the ISO OATT. Any inclusion of penalty costs in Schedule 6.11 must first be approved by FERC on a case-by-case basis, as provided in Schedule 6.11 of the ISO OATT. Prior to seeking FERC authorization for recovery of a penalty in Schedule 6.11 Section 6.11.3 of the ISO OATT, the ISO shall consult with the Management Committee and any appropriate subcommittee or working groups designated by the Management Committee, regarding the recovery and allocation of such penalty before filing at FERC. Any recommendation by the Management Committee regarding a proposed penalty recovery shall be reported by the ISO to FERC in any ISO filing seeking penalty recovery.
The following procedures shall govern the redispatch of generation to alleviate transmission congestion on selected pathways on the transmission systems operated by the ISO and PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) pursuant to an Interregional Congestion Management Pilot Program (“Pilot Program”). The procedures shall be used solely when, in the exercise of Good Utility Practice, the ISO or PJM determines that the redispatch of generation units on the other's transmission system would reduce or eliminate the need to resort to Transmission Loading Relief or other transmission-related emergency procedures.
(a)On a periodic basis determined by the ISO and PJM, the ISO and PJM shall identify potential transmission operating constraints that could result in the need to use Transmission Loading Relief or other emergency procedures in order to alleviate the transmission constraints.
(b)In addition to the identification of such potential transmission operating constraints, the ISO and PJM shall identify generation units on the other's system, the redispatch of which would eliminate the identified transmission constraints.
(c)From the identified transmission constraints, the ISO and PJM shall agree in writing on the transmission operating constraints and redispatch options that shall be subject to this Section 5.1.2. In reaching such agreement, the ISO shall endeavor reasonably to limit the number of transmission constraints that are subject to this Section 5.1.2 so as to minimize potential cost shifting among Market Participants in the ISO and PJM Control Areas resulting from the redispatch of generation under the Pilot Program. The ISO shall post the transmission operating constraints that are subject to the Pilot Program on its website.
If (i) a transmission constraint subject to this Section 5.1.2 occurs and continues or reasonably can be expected to continue after the exhaustion of all economic alternatives that are reasonably available to the transmission system on which the constraint occurs and (ii) the ISO or PJM, as applicable, has determined that it must use either Transmission Loading Relief or other emergency procedures, then (iii) the affected entity may request the other to redispatch one or more of the previously identified generation units to eliminate the transmission constraint. Upon such request, the ISO or PJM, as applicable, shall redispatch such generation if it is then subject to its dispatch control and such redispatch is consistent with Good Utility Practice.
In the event that a Generator is redispatched by the ISO in response to a request from PJM under Section 5.1.2, the Generator’s bid for the Energy made available by the redispatch shall not be included in the determination of the Locational Based Marginal Price at that Generator’s bus.
Generators that have increased or decreased generation output above or below the level that would otherwise represent the economic dispatch level as a result of a request made pursuant to the Pilot Program (the “MWh Adjustment”) shall be compensated, on an interval-by-interval basis, based on the following formulas:
(a)For a positive MWh Adjustment: Payment to Generator = MWh Adjustment * (unit offer price - marginal price at the generator bus). In addition the Generator shall be paid any applicable Minimum Generation Bid, Start-Up Bid, and Energy Bid price costs not covered by the LBMP revenue for the 24 hour day or not covered by the marginal price, as appropriate.
(b)For a negative MWh Adjustment: Payment to Generator = MWh Adjustment * (marginal price at the generator bus - unit offer price). In addition the Generator shall be paid any applicable minimum generation, start-up and Energy Bid price costs not covered by the LBMP revenue for the 24 hour day or not covered by the marginal price, as appropriate.
(c)MWh adjustment payments to Generators pursuant to this subsection shall not be considered LBMP revenue for purposes of calculating minimum generation, start up and Energy bid price guarantees.
(a)If PJM redispatches generation, the ISO shall include in its monthly accounting and billing a payment to PJM for the costs of such redispatch as determined in accordance with Section 5.1.2.4
(b)If the ISO redispatches generation under the Pilot Program, then it shall include in its monthly accounting and billing a credit to each redispatched Generator calculated in accordance with Section 5.1.2. 4 The ISO shall invoice PJM and PJM shall collect from its market participants and pay to the ISO an amount equal to all such credits to Generators.
(c)Unless there is a separate Emergency Energy Transaction accompanying a generation adjustment under the Pilot Program there shall be no adjustment in interchange between the ISO and PJM as a result of redispatch under the Pilot Program. In the event that an Emergency Energy Transaction accompanies a generation adjustment under the Pilot Program, compensation for the Emergency Energy Transaction shall be at the rates for emergency purchases and sales which have been approved by the Commission, as they may be amended from time-to-time.
