Electric Storage Recommendations

10. Market Working Group MWG Chair Richard Ross (American Electric Power-Southwestern Electric Power) discussed the group’s work on recommendation E2 from the Electric Storage Resources White Paper: “develop process for modeling and controlling ESR hybrid configurations.” The MWG, ORWG, and SPP operations staff recommended that MOPC approve the Energy Storage Resource Steering Committee (ESRSC) E2 Issue recommendation:

• Co-located ESR and generation resource modeling should be designed according to the MSR Registration Model. The option for registering each portion of the hybrid resource separately will continue to exist with care taken to ensure that Market Clearing Engine performance and the Market Participants responsibilities associated with FERC Order 845 are taken into account.

• For any design option selected by the MWG, the ORWG recommends the reliability model individually model the components of the hybrid resource accounting for any limitations in combined output. This ensures SPP will have full visibility of all resources and capabilities and is required to ensure forecast, dispatch, and deployment accuracy of resources are not degraded.

Richard Ross moved to approve the Energy Storage Resource Steering Committee E2 issue recommendation as presented. Bill Grant (Southwestern Public Service-Xcel Energy) seconded the motion. The motion passed with 99% approval.

11. Regional Tariff Working Group RTWG Chair Robert Pick (Nebraska Public Power District) presented the group’s work on recommendationTx7 from the Electric Storage Resources White Paper: “decide whether to require and invoice transmission service for ESR transmission.” The RTWG and the MWG recommended that MOPC approve the ESR Tx7 issue recommendation: A transmission-only ESR should not pay transmission service and/or ancillary charges related to its charging activity. Robert Pick (Nebraska Public Power District) moved to approve the RTWG’s and MWG’s recommendations as worded above. Jim Jacoby (American Electric Power-Public Service Co of OK) seconded the motion. The motion passed with 100% approval.

12. Supply Adequacy/Operating Reliability Working Groups ORWG Chair Allen Klassen and SAWG Chair Natasha Henderson discussed their recommendations regarding recommendations C1, C2, and C3 from the Electric Storage Resources White Paper: “C1. Determine ESR capacity accreditation process” “C2. Determine ESR duration and availability requirement” “C3. Determine maximum amount of ESRs allowed in resource adequacy portfolio” The SAWG and ORWG recommended MOPC approve their recommendations for C1 and C2. C1: Support the use of ELCC for ESR accreditation. C2: Support adopting the four-hour minimum duration for ESR capacity accreditation and no additional real-time ESR availability criteria at this time. Jim Jacoby (American Electric Power-Public Service Co of OK) moved to approve the recommendations for C1 and C2 from the Electric Storage Resources White Paper as presented. Dennis Florom (Lincoln Electric System) seconded the motion. The motion passed with 100% approval.

13. Supply Adequacy Working Group SAWG Chair Natasha Henderson (Golden Spread Electric Cooperative) recommended that MOPC approve the group’s Energy Storage ELCC Accreditation White Paper.

14. Operating Reliability Working Group .............................................................................. Allen Klassen (30 min.) ORWG Chair Allen Klassen (Evergy Companies) presented the group’s work on recommendation E4 from the Electric Storage Resources White Paper: “limits for fast-responding energy storage resources.” The ORWG recommended that MOPC approve the ORWG’s ESR E4 white paper recommendations and

create an action item to assign the ESR E4 white paper recommendations to the appropriate SPP groups. ESR E4 white paper recommendations: • The ORWG recommends the development of policy requiring ESR owners/operators to clearly define

the ramping capability of the ESR and provide them to SPP through the registration process. • The ORWG recommends that SPP define acceptable response rate ranges for each ancillary service

and ensure the coordination of energy deployment between all participating resources. • The ORWG recommends that SPP develop governing policies that require resources to perform

within their registered capability and as dispatched by SPP.

Steve Gaw (Advanced Power Alliance) moved to approve the ORWG’s ESR E4 white paper recommendations and create an action item to assign the ESR E4 white paper recommendations to the MWG. Chase Smith (Southern Power) seconded the motion. The motion passed with 100% approval.
