Agenda Frequency Response and Standard background Overview of BAL-003-1 Requirements and Measures Bias Setting Process Interconnections and Balancing Authority (BA) Frequency Response Obligation (FRO) Frequency Response Measure (FRM) FRS Form 1 and Form 2 Questions 3 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Background FERC Order 693 directed specific changes for BAL-003 Standard Authorization Request (SAR) drafted to address the issues identified by FERC NERC Operating Committee (OC) authorized Frequency Response field trial to help standard development at the June 7 8, 2011 OC meeting Frequency Response, termed beta (β), is A fundamental reliability service A combination of governor and load response 4 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Background Following a generator (or load loss) βstabilizes frequency at a new point The contingent BA is responsible for replacing the lost resource in order to release Frequency Response of noncontingent BAs within the Interconnection 5 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Frequency Response Frequency Bias (B) is not the same as Frequency Response (β) Frequency Response is actual MW contribution to stabilize frequency Bias is an approximation of βused in the Area Control Error (ACE) equation prevents Automatic Generation Control (AGC) withdrawal of β Both are negative numbers (as frequency drops, MW output increases and vise versa) Both are measured in MW/0.1Hz Bias (absolute value) must be >β(absolute value) 6 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Frequency Response In the East, B (absolute value) is about 2-3 x as large as β (absolute value) Bias (absolute value) must be at least 1% of BA peak load under current standard If there is to be a difference between B and β, it is preferable to be over-biased 7 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Original Goals Original SAR Objectively benchmark and track BA and Interconnection performance o Confirm trends o Learn why and where response trending down Additional generator level data from low responders Accurate data for models Enable technically sound decisions on setting any future performance obligations FERC Order No. 693 directed additional work 8 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Reasons for Change FERC directives in Order No. 693 Determine the appropriate periodicity of Frequency Response surveys Define the necessary amount of Frequency Response needed for Reliable Operation for each balancing authority with methods of obtaining and measuring that the Frequency Response is achieved Details are described in the Background Document that is posted with the standard NERC has committed to file BAL-003-1 with FERC in May of 2012 9 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
BAL-003-1 Overview Drafting team proposing 5 requirements Frequency Response to frequency events Frequency Bias Setting implementation* AGC to operate in Tie Line Bias mode* Appropriate Frequency Bias Setting for those providing Overlap Regulation Service* And Minimum Frequency Bias Setting* *Similar to existing standard 10 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Requirement R1 Each BA or Reserve Sharing Group (RSG) shall achieve an annual FRM (as detailed in Attachment A and calculated on FRS Form 1) that is equal to or more negative than its FRO to ensure that sufficient Frequency Response is provided by each BA or RSG to maintain an adequate level of Frequency Response in the Interconnection 11 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Attachment A Details how to calculate FRM based on actual responses to frequency excursions throughout a year Calculation will be for both frequency drops and frequency spikes NERC will publish list of events for each interconnection at least quarterly so BAs can calculate performance throughout the year More detail provided later in presentation 12 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Measure M1 The BA or RSG shall have FRS Form 1 with data to show that its FRM is equal to or more negative than FRO to demonstrate compliance with Requirement R1 Data required to fill out forms is scan rate data from Emergency Management System (EMS) for time, frequency and Net Actual Interchange 13 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Requirement R2 Each BA not participating in Overlap Regulation Service shall implement the Frequency Bias Setting (fixed or variable) validated by the ERO, into its Area Control Error (ACE) calculation beginning on the date specified by the ERO to ensure effectively coordinated Tie Line Bias control Similar to existing R1 14 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Measure M2 The BA shall have evidence such as a dated document in hard copy or electronic format showing the ERO validated Frequency Bias Setting was entered into its ACE calculation on the date specified or other evidence to demonstrate compliance with Requirement R2 15 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Requirement R3 Each BA not receiving Overlap Regulation Service shall operate its Automatic Generation Control (AGC) in Tie Line Bias mode to ensure effectively coordinated control, unless such operation would have an Adverse Reliability Impact on the BA s Area Similar to existing R3 16 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Measure M3 The BA shall have evidence such as a dated operating log, database or list in hard copy or electronic format, or operator interviews supported by other evidence showing the AGC operating mode including explanation when operating in other than Tie Line Bias mode to demonstrate compliance with Requirement R3 17 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Requirement R4 Each BA that is performing Overlap Regulation Service shall modify its Frequency Bias Setting in its ACE calculation to be equivalent to the sum of the Frequency Bias Settings of the participating BAs as validated by the ERO or calculate the Frequency Bias Setting based on the entire area being combined and thereby represent the Frequency Response for the combined area being controlled Similar to existing R6 18 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Measure M4 The BA shall have evidence such as a dated operating log, database, or list in hard copy or electronic format showing when Overlap Regulation Service is provided including Frequency Bias Setting calculation to demonstrate compliance with Requirement R4 19 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Requirement R5 In order to ensure adequate control response, each Balancing Authority shall use a monthly average Frequency Bias Setting whose absolute value is at least equal to one of the following: The minimum percentage of the BA Area s estimated yearly Peak Demand within its metered boundary per 0.1 Hz change as specified by the ERO in accordance with Attachment B The minimum percentage of the BA Area s estimated yearly peak generation for a generation-only Balancing Authority, per 0.1 Hz change as specified by the ERO in accordance with Attachment B 20 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Attachment B Allows for the minimum Frequency Bias Setting to be reduced based on measured Frequency Response in each Interconnection Initial minimum setting to be.8% of peak load or generation (reduction from existing 1.0% of peak load or generation) More information will be provided later in presentation 21 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Measure M5 The BA shall have evidence such as dated data plus documented formula to support the calculation retained in either hardcopy or electronic format showing the monthly average Frequency Bias Setting or other evidence to demonstrate compliance with Requirement R5 22 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Bias Setting Process The Bias Setting process will be very similar to what is done today Form 1 will automatically calculate a proposed Bias Setting for the upcoming year The data submitted by the BA will be validated CPS Limits, Bias Settings and FRO for upcoming year will be posted on NERC website BAs will be given an implementation date for the new Bias Setting (typically March 1) 23 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Attachment A Sets out the ERO s criteria for selecting events used for Bias Setting and FRM Measurement Cycle is December 1 (previous year) through November 30 (current year) Outlines the Frequency Response Obligations in each Interconnection and the allocation process to BAs Field Test proposes to use historic peak load and generation data from FERC Form 714 as basis for allocation to BAs 24 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Example of Annual Cycle January 10, 2012: BAs submit FRS Forms 1 and 2 January-February 2012: NERC and RS validate data, NERC posts CPS, Bias Setting, FRO March 1, 2012: Implement 2012 Bias Settings March-November 2012: NERC periodically posts and updates list of candidate events likely to be used for current year s FRM and next year s Bias Setting December 7, 2012: NERC posts: Official list of events for Bias Setting and FRM (Forms 1 and 2) BAs notified 25 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Attachment B Adjusting Minimum Bias Setting Present minimum Bias Setting is 1% of peak/0.1hz For most BAs, Frequency Response is < this 1% value Control theory says Bias and Frequency Response should closely match Attachment B lays out process for an Interconnection to adjust minimum Bias Setting Field test in 2012 to adjust minimum Bias Settings o 0.8% of peak o If no issues observed, process used in Attachment B will be used to consider further reduction in out years 26 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Frequency Response Obligation The process will determine an FRO for each Interconnection The Interconnection FRO will be allocated across all BAs in that Interconnection 27 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

Balancing Authority FRO BAs will be allocated a portion of the Interconnection FRO based on peak load and generation The drafting team recommends historical peak load and generation from FERC Form 714 or comparable NERC will do this allocation each year, probably through the Resources Subcommittee NERC will allocate FRO based on formula and transmit this information to each BA with the Frequency Bias Setting This allocation should not change for the 12 month period used for evaluation of compliance 29 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Frequency Response Measure The BA FRM will be compared to the BA FRO to determine compliance with R1 FRM is calculated using the frequency events listed on FRS Form 1 at the end of each 12 month period The 12 months run from December 1 through November 30 of the following calendar year 30 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Calculation of BA FRM BA will fill out FRS Form 2 for each event listed on FRS Form 1 Summary information from each FRS Form 2 will be moved into FRS Form 1 FRS Form 1 will use all events to determine median response Median response is the BA FRM for that period 31 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Selection of Events Minimum of 25 events will be used for FRM calculation If few events occur during a 12 month period, older events will be used to make 25 events List will be Interconnection specific Determination of event based on specifics in Attachment A 32 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

East Event time on two events incorrect Two events from 2009 West Event selection, out of 15 events Form 1 Issues o Three events had two contingencies March 7, March 22 and July 3 o Two events: B Value recovered within normal governor dead-bands May 11 and May 24 o Three events: Slow decay in frequency May 31, March 14 and March 16 o Good events to evaluate March 26, April1, April 28, June 1, June 24, June 25 and July 10 35 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Form 1 Issues Hydro-Quebec Event selection, multiple events where frequency recovered to pre-disturbance level before the end of the B Value time period (20 to 52 seconds) Event selection process requires proper review before the event is placed on Form 1 Team from each Interconnection should be involved in the selection of events Frequency graphs of each event should be generated before final selection 36 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Form 1 Improvements Event selection process improving Process in place for event identification Process in place for event review and selection Included frequency graph of each event selected in Form 1 for the East and West Added UTC time of event 37 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
FRS Form 2 FRS Form 2 receives BA AGC scan rate data to measure the BA s primary Frequency Response performance to a single, identified frequency perturbation on the system Measures the change in Net Actual Interchange and the change in frequency due to the perturbation Standardizes the measurement process for all BAs in all Interconnections Value B average period of 20 to 52 seconds selected as the standard measure Other average periods removed from both Forms 38 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

Collect Data and Place in Form 2 Collect Scan rate data of frequency, Net Actual Interchange, Bias & BA Total Energy Data Tab: BA Event scan rate data placed in specific columns 40 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Lessons Learned on Data Collection Date/Time data must be in time format, it cannot be text. If your historian returns text for the time values, create correct time format data in the time field. Evaluation requires a valid time format. Frequency data and Net Actual Interchange data must be discrete data values each sample (AGC scan). Data compression techniques should not be used on this data. Must have a minimum of two minutes of data before beginning of the event for full analysis. 41 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
Lessons Learned on Data Collection Form 1 contains the exact time of t(0) using 2 second scan rate data. If you begin data collection exactly 10 minutes before this time, t(0) should always be in the same row in the data worksheet. Using different scan rates may cause you to adjust up or down one row when setting t(0) but it should always be within one or two rows on each event. Some BAs added an additional worksheet into Form 2 for their data collection formulas and retrieval. Some BAs built automatic detection of t(0) and the recovery period time. 42 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY
