From: CAISO Market Operations - Hour Ahead 07/31/2000 04:24 AM To: "Market Status: Hour-Ahead/Real-Time" , Market Status cc: Subject: MARKET NOTICE---EMERGENCY OPERATING ORDER RELATING TO UNINSTRUCTE D DEVIATIONS JULY 31, 2000 MARKET NOTICE---EMERGENCY OPERATING ORDER RELATING TO UNINSTRUCTED DEVIATIONS JULY 31, 2000 This notice is to advise all Scheduling Coordinators and owners of Generation in the ISO Control Area that the ISO is issuing an operating order for July 31, 2000, that all resources must follow final Hour Ahead Schedules, as adjusted by RMR Dispatch Notices, or by Dispatch instructions verbal or electronic, on Ancillary Service or Supplemental Energy bids. NO UNINSTRUCTED DEVIATIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. Section 2.3.1.2.1 of the ISO Tariff requires Market Participants in the ISO Control Area to "comply fully and promptly with the ISO's operating orders." Any Generating Unit with real time output that reflects an excessive deviation from the real time output consistent with its Final Hour Ahead Schedule as adjusted by Dispatch instructions, and assuming a 20 minute ramp across the top of the hour for hourly Schedule changes, will be deemed to have failed to comply with this operating order. For the purpose of this determination, an excessive deviation shall be the smaller of 10% of a Generating Unit's maximum capability, or 10 MW. The only exception to this finding is a Generating Unit that provides the ISO with timely notification of a unit outage or derate. Failure to comply with this operating order threatens the reliable operation of the ISO Control Area. In particular, uninstructed incremental deviations by Generating Units that are "chasing" the BEEP Interval Prices published by the ISO are directly responsible for the frequency excursions the ISO experienced June 13, 2000. The ISO will take the following actions with respect to those Generating Units that fail to comply with this Operating Order: 1) ISO Management will deliver a report to the ISO Governing Board that provides a copy of this notice, and a comparison of the instructed and actual output profile for each Generating Unit that fails to comply. 2) The ISO will assign any WSCC RMS penalties associated with frequency deviations to the Generating Units that fail to comply.
