Automated Dispatch System (ADS): The ADS Query File Data Dictionary was released this week. ADS client 26 was released 8/23. Features include Query data which now contain decimals instead of integer values and system performance improvement by limiting queries to 7 days worth of data at a time. A question was raised about what time standard is used for instructions. Greg Ford responded it is PDT/PST. RMR Scheduling: No comments 10-Minute Settlement: The API parser had corrections made. The Ex-Post price fix (looking for 6 values instead of 1) has been implemented and is working. Also the supplemental energy import parsing order was corrected. The Beep_Gen_Full template does successfully parse through the existing parser. Ginger Seitles is working with SCE to correct the localized parser problem. The question was raised if there may be only one record supporting two charge types. CP responded that for CTs 401/407 there is, and can be, one record supporting multiple charge types. A question was raised concerning instructions being over lapped to the next day. Mark responded that there are no instructions that are issued to last over a day. Mark also reminded everyone that effective June 1st that the ISO stated using ramping energy versus block energy for dispatches. He also reminded all that residual energy would be in effect on September 1st. The PX asked if there were DC loss calculation available for the market simulation information. CP stated that there was and would forward it on to the PX. It is also planned to publish the implementation schedule the week of 8/28. InterSC Trades of Adjustment Bids: The implementation target date for Inter-SC Trade Adjustment Bid has been delayed until the first week of October 1, 2000. A new schedule has been published. A training class has been tentatively scheduled for September 19th . Details to follow. OASIS Redesign: Darren Lamb explained that the project is progressing satisfactorily. He is still anticipating a market testing in late October with full implementation in mid-December. A concerned was raised about the amount of time, if any was being allotted for overlapping of templates.
