What is Demand Response?

• End-use customers temporarily reduce their electricity consumption in response to: – System reliability events – High wholesale prices – Performance audits

• End-use customers change their electricity consumption by: – Reducing load for a specific time period – Starting load reducing distributed generation – Shifting load to a different time period – Installing energy efficiency measures

9

What are Demand Resources?

Installed measures that result in verifiable reductions of end-use energy consumption that would otherwise have been produced by other capacity resources in the New England control area.

10

Passive Demand Resources (Passive) Active Demand Resources (Active)

• Non-dispatchable • Include On-Peak and Seasonal Peak

Demand Resources • May include energy efficiency

programs or distributed generation projects

• Designed to reduce loads when dispatched

• Can reduce load based on system conditions or ISO instructions

• Include Real-Time Demand Response (RTDR) and Real-Time Emergency Generation (RTEG) resources

On-Peak Demand Resources

11

• On-Peak Demand Resources provide their load reduction during the following hours: – Summer On-Peak Hours 1:00-5:00 p.m.

• non-holiday weekdays in June, July, and August – Winter On-Peak Hours 5:00-7:00 p.m.

• non-holiday weekdays in December and January

• Designed for non-dispatchable measures that reduce load across predefined hours (e.g., lighting, motors, etc.)

Seasonal Peak Demand Resources

• Seasonal Peak Demand Resources must reduce load during non-holiday weekdays when the real-time hourly load is equal to or greater than 90% of the most recent “50/50” System Peak Load Forecast for the applicable summer or winter season

• Designed for non-dispatchable, weather-sensitive measures such as energy efficient HVAC systems

12

Real-Time Demand Response (RTDR) Resources

13

Activation

• RTDR resources will be activated when ISO implements Operating Procedure 4 (OP-4) Action 2 during the Operating Day

• Communications will be received electronically through the CFE/RTU

For information purposes only, ISO provides a forecast of RTDR activation at the Demand Resource level beginning at ~1700 and potentially revised ~1900 on the day before the Operating Day. This is published in the DR MUI.

Dispatch Instructions

Upon receipt of ISO Dispatch Instructions*, RTDR resources must: • Curtail electrical usage (or increase distributed

generator output) within 30 minutes of receiving a Dispatch Instruction

• Continue curtailing usage until receiving a release/recall Dispatch Instruction to restore electrical usage

* Based on location and MW needed

RTDR Assets are eligible to participate in Transitional Demand Response pursuant to Appendix E of Market Rule 1

Real-Time Emergency Generation Resources RTEG

14

Activation

• RTEGs will be activated when ISO implements OP-4 Action 6 during the Operating Day

• This is the first voltage reduction

action step in OP-4, such that operation of these units typically is compliant with environmental regulations

• Communications will be received electronically through the CFE/RTU

Dispatch Instructions

Upon receipt of ISO dispatch instructions (at the location and for the amount needed), RTEG resources must: • Be permitted for emergency use only

by federal, state, or local environmental regulations

• Move electrical usage from grid to emergency generator within 30 minutes of receiving a dispatch instruction

• Continue operating emergency generation until a release/recall dispatch instruction is received to restore electrical usage

Dispatch Zones

• RTDR and RTEG aggregations and activations take place at the Dispatch Zone level

• 19 Dispatch Zones

What is Registered?

16 M-RPA

Facility Physical location, representing a metered end-use customer, with a single Retail Delivery Point

CAMS

Measure Installed product, equipment, system, or service that is used to obtain reductions in end-use demand

Examples include: distributed generators, lighting controls and manufacturing process that could be shut down

CAMS

Asset Combination of one or more measures with the same Demand Resource type and metering configuration

CAMS

Resource Combination of Assets within a single Dispatch or Load Zone which, when combined, meet the Resource CSO

Forward Capacity Tracking System (FCTS)

Resources, Assets, and Measures

• Resources are made up of one or more Assets – For dispatchable resources (RTDR and RTEG) assets are typically

planned load reductions or increments of distributed generation at a end-use customer facility.

– For passive resources (On-Peak and Seasonal Peak) assets are generally energy efficiency or load management portfolios or individually metered non-dispatchable distributed generators.

• Assets are made up of one or more Measures – Allows similar measures to be aggregated into assets in some cases,

but this functionality is rarely utilized at present other than for energy efficiency projects.

METERING CONFIGURATIONS

Metering Configurations Section Overview

• Six different metering configuration types allowed

• Determining the appropriate configuration and submitting the required data and information is very important – Taking time to understand this material will help you avoid major

pitfalls

• For assistance, please refer to the M-MVDR and do not hesitate to create an Ask-ISO ticket if more help is needed.

36

Overview of the Configurations

• Facility Metered Load (FML) is the electricity used at a facility purchased from the grid

• Total Facility Load (TFL) is the total electricity used at a facility inclusive of that purchased from the grid and that produced by on-site Distributed Generation (DG)

• Only one asset at a facility can use either TFL or FML-based metering configurations – TFL and FML metering configurations cannot coexist at a facility

Refer to Manual M-MVDR for metering configuration details

37

TFL = FML + Distributed Generation

Types of Metering

38

A Load reduction only with no Distributed Generation (DG) at the facility

B Distributed Generation output directly metered

C Distributed Generation used to reduce load at the asset • Real-Time Emergency Generation Assets only

D Load reduction with directly metered Distributed Generation used at another on-site asset • With Distributed Generation behind the facility meter

E Distributed Generation used to reduce load at the asset and directly metered Distributed Generation used at another on-site asset • Real-Time Emergency Generation Assets only • With additional Distributed Generation behind the facility meter

F Load Reduction pursuant to a Measurement and Verification Plan • Includes Statistical Sampling

• M1 required to submit 5-Minute telemetry through CFE/RTU

• CB is calculated and based on M1 (FML)

• HR is CB – M1

• From a data stream, CB and HR perspective, this metering configuration is like “Load Reduction Only with no DG at the facility” (A)

Changes to Metering Configurations

• Once established, the metering configuration of a measure can only change with the addition of another measure at the same facility or when directly metering RTEG that was formerly DG used to reduce load

• Upon receipt of a second measure registration, ISO will coordinate the metering configuration change with the Lead Market Participant(s)

46

Metering Configuration Considerations

• Beginning with full integration of RTDR with the energy market (planned for June 2017), TFL configuration goes away in all cases except when there is an RTDR and RTEG at the same facility – Only one RTDR type asset will exist behind a retail delivery point

• Metering and FML based performance at the Retail Delivery Point is required – This is required now for assets participating in Transitional

Demand Response

• Consideration should be given to utilizing Retail Delivery Point metering for any new assets being registered

47

48

Let’s take a short break…

49

DEMAND ASSET REGISTRATION

What is the purpose of Demand Asset Registration?

• Verify Lead Market Participant’s ability to reduce electricity consumption by obtaining the necessary information about the measures

• Identify location of end-use customer

• Record how facility plans to reduce electricity consumption

•

51

What is Registered?

52 M-RPA

Facility Physical location, representing a metered end-use customer, with a single Retail Delivery Point

CAMS

Measure Installed product, equipment, system, or service that is used to obtain reductions in end-use demand

Examples include: distributed generators, lighting controls and manufacturing process that could be shut down

CAMS

Asset Combination of one or more measures with the same Demand Resource type and metering configuration

CAMS

Resource Combination of Assets within a single Dispatch or Load Zone which, when combined, meet the Resource CSO

Forward Capacity Tracking System (FCTS)

Registration Process Status/State Definitions

State What it means

Received New registration submitted

Review in Progress ISO review of the registration in progress

Pending Customer Action Identification of an issue that ISO needs resolved by the Customer

Approved Registration approved by ISO

Rejected Submission denied by ISO • Service Notes explaining the basis of the rejection are included

Canceled Identifies to ISO that submission is withdrawn

Retired Terminal state once the asset is removed

Ready to Respond Asset satisfied all requirements and is ready to respond to events once incorporated into the communication model

53

Registration Process Reaching the Ready to Respond State

• Measure(s) mapped to the Demand Asset must be approved by ISO – Recent utility bill required for approval

• Meters must be installed and operational – Lead Participant must verify meter install by updating flag in CAMS

• A baseline must be established for Demand Assets that require a baseline – Ten consecutive business days of data needed to establish baseline

• RTDR assets and RTEG assets require a PNode assignment – Provides operations with information about where the asset is

connected to the grid – Assets with MIC 1 MW or greater must have PNode verified by

Host Participant

54

Active Asset Registration Timeline

• Memorandum sent to LPs and DDEs on the first Friday of each month outlining registration, baseline and mapping deadlines.

• Objective is to have active Demand Assets reviewed, approved, and baselines built (where applicable) in time for the monthly communication check-out process

• New Demand Assets must: – Allow ISO seven full business days to review submittal (applies to passive assets also) – Be approved, and have a baseline built when needed, before the monthly

communication model deadline

• Baseline Data – Window for submitting data starts as early as ten business days prior to

the registration submittal

• Communication Data Model – Monthly communication check-out process begins seven calendar days (T-7) prior

to the first of the following month. Assets not ready to respond prior to this deadline will be reviewed for inclusion in next month’s model.

ASSET TO RESOURCE MAPPING

Demand Asset to Demand Resource

• Demand Resource is an aggregation of one or more assets

• Assets must be mapped to a Demand Resource of the same DR type

• Effective date of mappings are on monthly boundaries for actives and current date for passives

• Active assets are mapped to Demand Resources in the same Dispatch Zone and Passive assets are mapped to Demand Resources in same Load Zone

77

Demand Resources

Resource A

Resource B

Demand Assets

Asset 1

Asset 3

Asset 4

Mapping to Commercial vs. Non-Commercial Resources

• If Lead Participant has multiple resources of the same DR type within a dispatch zone, the new asset must first be mapped to an undersubscribed commercial resource. – Commercial resource has a defined audit record – Undersubscribed means the audit values of the assets mapped

to the resource do not meet or exceed the maximum Net CSO of the resource

• Why? To prevent return of FA to a non-commercial resource when a commercial resource may be short of obligation

(the first day of the month) – System date for passive – Sum of audited contributions from assets mapped to resource cannot

fall below the resource’s net CSO in any capacity commitment period

• New assets and unmapped assets can be mapped within a CCP and for future CCPs – Assets with no current mappings (i.e., mappings are future dated)

are able to change their future mapping

82

DDE for Demand Resource Designation

• Lead Market Participant must designate a DDE for each Real-Time Demand Response and Real-Time Emergency Generation Resource

• Lead Market Participant must choose this designation in CAMS so assets can be included in communication model

• DDE designation and RTU assignment do not apply to On-Peak and Seasonal Peak Resources

DEMAND RESOURCE AUDITING FUNDAMENTALS

Auditing Fundamentals Purpose

Demand Resources are audited to:

• Establish the Demand Reduction Value (DRV) for a demand resource

• Verify commercial operation of a demand resource – Audit required prior to release of financial assurance – Must be performed no later than the first month for which the

demand resource has a CSO, or the month following the proposed Commercial Operation Date, whichever is earlier

• ISO determines that the demand resource DRV may not be credible, therefore a Level 1 or Level 2 audit may be conducted (more later)

5

Auditing Fundamentals

• Audits are requested by a Lead Market Participant via the DR Audit and Testing Tool (A&TT)

• RTDR and RTEG Resource Audits are conducted by electronic dispatch of all scheduled Resources by the Control Room Operator

• Resources must be audited at least twice per commitment period – Once each season during performance months

• Demand Resource audits have one hour minimum duration, after 30 minute ramp period – Typically audits expected to run for about 65 to 75 minutes – Actual audit durations may be longer, based on control room needs

6

Auditing Fundamentals Seasonal Audit

• Required to be conducted in performance months of: – June, July or August (Summer) – December or January (Winter)

• Used to demonstrate resource capability

• Used to establish Forward Capacity Market performance and settlement in some circumstances

7

Participants may request an audit via DR-ATT, or, if no audit was conducted before the last month of a season, one will be requested by the DR-ATT on the Participant’s behalf

Auditing Fundamentals Commercial Operation Audit (COA)

• Used to demonstrate commercial operation status of a resource, or an increase of incremental capacity since its last seasonal audit

• Lead Market Participants can request a COA via the DR-ATT

8

A COA requested during a seasonal performance month meets the seasonal auditing requirements for that season

Auditing Fundamentals Specific to RTDR & RTEG

• Concurrent audit requirement – If a single facility includes RTEG and RTDR assets, audits of resources

those assets are mapped to must be performed concurrently – Avoids double counting of loads curtailed for RTDR measures

that are also fed from the emergency generator

• Once RTDR or RTEG resource audit request is submitted, the DR-ATT software: – Checks associated facilities for any assets of the other type at the

same facility, and if found, – Creates a corresponding “Concurrent” audit request for the other

resource

9

Could result in more than one additional audit request

Auditing Fundamentals Specific to RTDR and RTEG, continued

• What is a new asset?

• “New Asset” audits may be requested to demonstrate incremental capacity additions to a resource provided by individual new assets to the resource

• System will determine the new assets for the resources based on the season

10

Auditing Fundamentals Specific to RTDR and RTEG, continued

• The entire resource will be dispatched, but only new assets to the resource: – Are expected to perform, and – Generate audit results

• Concurrent audit checks are not performed for “New Asset” requests

• Performance will be calculated for all new assets

11

Note: By default a whole resource audit will be conducted unless a new asset audit is specified

Auditing Active RTDR and RTEG Assets

• Date and time of demand resource audits unannounced until start of audit event

• Dispatch instructions triggered by an audit include a MW value for the net CSO in effect for the month when the audit is conducted – MW value is the minimum level of expected performance – Exception: New asset audits where performance expected only

from new assets

• Lead Market Participants are encouraged to deploy all active and ready-to-respond Demand Assets during a full resource audit

• Electronic dispatch instructions will indicate the dispatch is an audit

12

Audit may start at any time during an hour and last at least 1 hour* after the 30 minute ramp period. *Typically lasts more than an hour.

Auditing Active RTDR and RTEG Assets, cont’d

• ISO Control Room may extend or terminate an audit at any time due to system conditions

• If the duration of an audit event includes a partial hour, the average load reduction or average output calculations will account for only intervals where a dispatch was in effect

13

ISO Initiated Audits

Level 1 Audit

• Establishes the audit results by conducting a review of records of the demand asset or demand response asset to verify that the reported measures have been installed and are operational

Level 2 Audit

• Establishes the audit results by on-site field visit, to verify installation and performance of measures in the demand asset

Auditing Fundamentals Ways to Satisfy the Seasonal Audit Requirement

15

Audit and Testing Tool

Customer Request

Real-time dispatch, if the real time event meets eligibility

Qualifying Dispatch

Audit and Testing Tool automatically requests an audit for all resources not audited by: - August 1st (summer)

or - January 1st (winter)

Automatic Request

Auditing Fundamentals Operating Procedure No. 4 (OP4)

OP4 - Action 2 and 6 (OP4 A2/6) events can be used “as a seasonal audit” if the event meets eligibility requirements: • Resource dispatched at 100% of its maximum Net CSO for the

season effective for at least an hour

• Simultaneous (concurrent) audit (RTEG/RTDR) requirements are met

• If a dispatch event OP4 A2/6 is selected as audit, the audit period will be the first 12 intervals (following the 30 minute notice) of the 100% Net CSO dispatch period

• If OP4 A2 and A6 are both dispatched, the audit period will be the first 12 intervals of the simultaneous dispatch of the 100% Net CSO dispatch period

16

Auditing Fundamentals Values

• Performance of the resource is the simple sum of the performance values of the mapped assets – Resources with no mapped assets will have a null

or zero value – Performance for RTDR/RTEG resources is based on load

compared with an adjusted baseline

• Seasonal Peak and On-Peak Resources submit performance directly, either through CAMS or SMS, and ISO determines an audit value

17

Auditing Passive Assets

Monthly Data Submission • Non-DG assets: Lead Market Participant for an On-Peak and Seasonal Peak

Demand Resource reports the monthly energy reductions and output (MWh) coincident with On-Peak or Seasonal Peak Hours to ISO

• Data submittal window runs from the beginning of the obligation month until 13:00 on the third business day following the obligation month for initial settlement

• Distributed Generators (DG) report performance data through the SMS user interface, by submitting meter reads, less any parasitic loads (subject to ISO review and audit)

18

Timing of DR Capacity Audits All active audits will be conducted during hours consistent with the

performance hours of the applicable DR type illustrated in this chart.

19

DR Type Performance Hours

RTDR Hour Ending (H.E.) 8:00–23:00, M-F, non-Demand Response holidays

RTEG H.E. 8:00-19:00, M-F, non-Demand Response holidays Note: ISO will use best efforts to avoid air quality action days.

On-Peak H.E. 14:00-17:00 (summer), H.E. 18:00-19:00 (winter), M-F, non-holidays

Seasonal Peak ≥ 90% of the most recent 50/50 system peak load, M-F, non-holidays

Example

• Notification dispatch 6:30 • Audit performance period 7:00 • Audit ends 8:15

Auditing Process Based on DR Type

Active Assets (RTDR and RTEG)

• Similar to typical activation by dispatch zone

• Can be requested as: – Whole Resource

• Concurrent Resources – New Asset Audit

Passive Assets

• Monthly performance values data in CAMS or use of DG meter data

• Can be requested as: – Whole Resource only

USING THE AUDIT AND TESTING TOOL

DR Audit & Testing Tool (A&TT) Purpose

• Track DR audit requests and corresponding results

• Support business processes and workflows associated with DRs – Audits – Data validation and quality

• Allow users to be “in the know” providing transparency and timely delivery of DR performance information – DR Lead Participants – Demand Designated Entities – ISO’s Demand Resource Administration (DRA) group

• Monitor/track performance of demand resources and demand assets

26

A&TT

Audit Requests

• Request can be made six months in advance using the A&TT and Lead Participant specifies date the audit window opens

• ISO has 20 business days starting with the specified date to conduct the audit

• Requests must be made for passive resources as well

27

If a Lead Participant does not request an audit for resources by 12:00 a.m. August 1 or January 1, the A&TT creates an audit request on the customer’s behalf

Audit Request Cancellations

• Audit Requests can be cancelled by the Lead Participant any time prior to the dispatch except where audits are required to occur before the end of seasonal performance periods (August, January).

• For RTDR Resources and RTEG Resources, if the cancellation request is not received in time to cancel the dispatch, then the LP has the option to reverse the cancellation request by informing ISO within two business days following the audit

• Reversing a cancellation – LP submits a request to DRAudits@iso-ne.com asking that the cancellation

be reversed – If reversed, performance during the audit is evaluated and recorded as if the

cancellation request was never received
