Least Cost Redispatch • This method will provide Least Cost Plans for 10 of the most probable flowgates that could be subjected to TLR 5 each day. • These plans will be made available to the ATC System Operators Prior to any TLR 5 event. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 12

Least Cost Redispatch • The ATC Operator will control the TLR 5 Redispatch. –

Least Cost Redispatch • The ATC Operator will control the TLR 5 Redispatch. – All Non Firm transactions with >5% PTDF have been curtailed. – If the overloaded element is in the WEP, WPS or UPP Control Area, the Pewaukee ATC Operator will be responsible. – If the overloaded element is in the ALTE or MGE Control Area, the Cottage Grove ATC Operator will be responsible. – The responsible ATC Operator will request the needed relief. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 13

Least Cost Redispatch • The ATC Operator will control the TLR 5 Redispatch. – MAIN issues Firm transaction curtailment list. – MAIN also issues Load curtailments, these load curtailments may be accomplished by redispatch of generation. – The responsible ATC Operator will combine the needed load curtailments and issue the Least Cost Redispatch. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 14

Least Cost Redispatch • Least Cost Redispatch Plans – Will use Unit Costs. –

Least Cost Redispatch • Least Cost Redispatch Plans – Will use Unit Costs. – Will provide plans for the 10 most probable TLR flowgates. – Will use NERC Generation Shift Factors. – These probable plans will be updated daily. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 15

Least Cost Redispatch Plans • Items the responsible ATC Operator will have to consider during TLR 5 event. – ATC Operator may not know the current dispatch of units and/or the availability to move them. – ATC Operator will have to inquire if a generator pair is available. – If the Least Cost Redispatch spans two control areas, the control areas will have to enter schedules. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 22

Summary • ATC Operator controls Redispatch • MAIN issues Firm curtailment lists and Load

Summary • ATC Operator controls Redispatch • MAIN issues Firm curtailment lists and Load Relief numbers • Control Area's supply Unit Costs • ATC Operator calculates and issues Redispatch orders. • If Redispatch is not available, load shedding will be necessary. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 23

Update on Single System ATC Teresa Mogensen Director of Transmission Planning and Service 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 24

Single System ATC: Non-Firm • The “Proposed Changes to the Calculation of Non-firm ATC

Single System ATC: Non-Firm • The “Proposed Changes to the Calculation of Non-firm ATC for the ATCLLC Transmission System” document was approved by the MAIN ATCSC on April 10, 2001 and implemented on April 25, 2001 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 25

Single System ATC: Non-Firm (cont. ) • A single ATCLLC non-firm ATC value is

Single System ATC: Non-Firm (cont. ) • A single ATCLLC non-firm ATC value is calculated and shared by all network customers of the ATCLLC for each of the interconnected directions – CE WUMS, DPC WUMS, NSP WUMS, UPPCo WUMS and MECS WUMS. – Note that WUMS is a proxy for “ATCLLC” – UPPCo will be added to this group when they become a network customer 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 26

Single System ATC: Firm • There are several issues associated with a single zone

Single System ATC: Firm • There are several issues associated with a single zone approach to granting firm transmission service including: – Identification of true source/sink – Impacts on the transmission system based on the true source/sink – The work group has been unable to reach consensus • The work group is drafting a proposal titled “Single Zone Firm ATC” for executive review 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 27

Single Zone Firm ATC: Latest Proposal • Only applies to studies within the next

Single Zone Firm ATC: Latest Proposal • Only applies to studies within the next 13 months • Continue to calculate every control area to control area path • Calculate the Firm Service Load Ratio Share (FSLRS), based on each network customers’ load in proportion to total ATCLLC network load • Determine which path is most constrained, taking into account the FSLRS • Constrain all directions based on the most constrained path and FSLRS 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 28 • Please refer to the draft proposal for details

Single System ATC: Congestion Management • In order to track ATCLLC customer costs due

Single System ATC: Congestion Management • In order to track ATCLLC customer costs due to “Zero ATC” or TLR events, we have asked all customers impacted by TLR and/or denied transmission requests (based on “No ATC”) to report their estimated replacement costs and summarize by event • This data will be summarized by constraint (flowgate) and used, in part, to justify new projects • ATCLLC is also exploring ways to facilitate use of the NERC Market Redispatch program for our customers 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 29

Single System ATC: Next Steps • Next SSATC Working Group meeting is June 5

Single System ATC: Next Steps • Next SSATC Working Group meeting is June 5 at ATC HQ – Main goal of June 5 meeting is to finalize “best” proposal(s) for implementation of single zone ATC for firm • Ongoing series of biweekly meetings (June 5, June 19 etc. ) to continue to discuss issues • Your ongoing input and participation is requested and appreciated.

LSS – To Date The LSS has NOT met yet. • E-mail sent recently asking for concurrence on the issues. • Conference call scheduled Tuesday, June 5, 2001. Kurt will contact everyone with details. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 38

LSS – The Issues • Load shedding due to capacity deficiency. Rolling blackouts/distribution load

LSS – The Issues • Load shedding due to capacity deficiency. Rolling blackouts/distribution load shedding. This would be the responsibility of the individual control areas/local distribution companies or load balancing areas. There would be little or no involvement by ATCLLC. • Underfrequency load shedding and manual load shedding due to frequency decline as required by NERC/MAIN. This issue will be a little different for each customer and will have to be discussed. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 39

LSS – The Issues • Load shedding orders as a result of a Transmission

LSS – The Issues • Load shedding orders as a result of a Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) procedure, i. e. TLR level 5. We will definitely have to determine an acceptable procedure for this situation. If we run out of Redispatch and Schedule curtailment options, the act of shedding load to provide relief on a flowgate may get a bit complicated. • Specific load shedding as a result of a local transmission problem. If TLR could not help a particular situation, the ATCLLC System Control Operator may order shedding of some specific/local loads to prevent a worse problem (e. g. low voltage, voltage collapse or major overloads). 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 40

LSS – Temporary Measures • Until there are specific procedures and processes developed by ATCLLC and its customers, we will continue to operate within the procedures and practices already in place by the utility or control area. 5/18/01 Generation Customer Meeting 41
