Each window will be broken into 3 iterations with heightening levels of data quality goals
All non-PUN RE’s will submit during 1 of 2 windows (except Wind)
Each non-PUN RE will request one of the two windows between 5/22/09 and 6/5/09 via email to [email protected]
Some RE’s may be moved to a different window based on volume
Planning and Protection data will be rolled in for the remaining windows (see next slide)
All Wind resources will submit during the second window

Special Topics – FAQ
• Issue with Load Tap Step positions
– ERCOT systems expect Load Tap Positions and the related
Voltage to both either rise or fall together
– Some tap changer positions increment voltage by changing to a
lower tap position integer
– Work around: In these cases, the Resource Entity should place a
negative sign in front of the tap position
– For example:
If your tap positions / voltages are:
Lowest Tap Position / Voltage
5 / 135kV
High Tap Position / Voltage
1 / 147kV
Register the following on the RARF:
Lowest Tap Position / Voltage
-5 / 135kV
High Tap Position / Voltage
-1 / 147kV

Special Topics – Block Load Transfer Registration
• ERCOT will be assessing in coordination with TSP’s what Block
Load Transfers need to be registered / modeled prior to go live
• Once assessment is complete, ERCOT will be engaging the TSP’s
to register identified current / future Block Load Transfers
• There will be no change to the registration form currently in place
for zonal.

Special Topics – Engaging Remaining Resource Entities
Originally Presented on 4/10
• ERCOT Will be Dividing the Remaining Resource Entities into 2
Submission Windows
– Dividing into two windows allows ERCOT to spend more time
assisting with MP registration issues
– There is no change to the final RARF data collection end date
(12/31/09)
– These windows will include Planning, Protection and SubSync data
• Previously this was out of scope for the transmission data collection phase
• Completing this now will reduce the risk of completing at the end of the year as
a separate process
– ERCOT will ask RE’s to request inclusion into Window 1 or Window
2 at the next Friday Update Call.
– As slots fill, ERCOT will make every effort to honor requests, but
may have to change it based on capacity

Special Topics – Engaging Remaining Resource Entities
Originally Presented on 4/10
•
Window 1
– Begins June 1 ending on Sept. 1
– This will be available to all technologies except Wind
– Wind resources will be addressed during Window 2
•
•
WOTF are reviewing potential changes to wind registration data
ERCOT will address Wind Resources once these changes have been solidified
•
Window 2
– Begins Sept 1 ending on Nov. 1
– All Wind Resources will be in this iteration
– There will be capacity for other resource types, but more limited than
Window 1
•
ERCOT will host a market kick off meeting for both windows
– Window 1 kick off meeting is currently targeted for the 5/22/09
– Kick off will take the place of that week’s market call
•
Market calls will continue to be hosted by ERCOT on a bi-weekly basis
through the end of Window 2

Special Topics – Planning, Protection and SubSync Data Collection
Originally Presented on 4/10
•
Planning, Protection and SubSync Data is the last of the RARF data
collection categories
•
Originally schedule for late 2009, it will be rolled into the transmission
data collection process
– For Private Use Networks that have already completed the transmission
data collection, they will have the option of providing the planning,
protection and subsync data in either Window 1 or Window 2
•
ERCOT is reviewing the supporting tabs in the RARF and ensuring all
data requested aligns with base system requirements
– RE’s should contact [email protected] prior to starting
these to ensure they are working off of the most recent version of these
forms
•
Business rules will be completed for these tabs by mid-may and tested
through the remainder of the month
•
These will then align with the previously mentioned Windows for
transmission data collection

Reminders
Originally Presented on 3/13/09
•
ERCOT has published a revised RARF guide
– The revised RARF guide contains all the business rules for transmission assets
– The URL where this can be located is:
http://nodal.ercot.com/readiness/rq/documents/index.html
– Document title: EDS - Resource Registration Guide v4.2
•
Scope of Transmission Data Assets (high level lists)
– Lines
– Breakers and Switches
– Capacitors and Reactors
– Transformers
– Static Var Compensators
– Series Devices
– Loads
– * PUN Load 168 hr Profiles
*note that accepted PUN Load 168 hr Profiles will be added to the RARF upon re-submittal
Those that still have issues with the PUN 168 profile form, ERCOT will work with you to correct
on the conference with your account manager
•
Out of Scope for this phase
– Protection
– SubSync
– Planning

Reminders
Originally Presented on 3/13/09
•
Clarifying statements on which assets need to be registered / modeled
Note: This is specific to PUN’s. Specifics on other resource entities will be addressed on a later call
– All assets which are between a generator and the point of interconnect to
ERCOT
– All Load
• Loads which are connected on a Bus greater than or equal to 60kV need to be modeled
individually
• Loads connected at less than 60kV may be aggregated into an “equivalent load” at the 69kV
Bus
• Auxiliary and Site Service Load may be combined
Note: Auxiliary load is defined as that which is only present when the generator is running
– In some cases it will be necessary for ERCOT and the Private Network to
review specific assets and/or sites to make a determination on whether or
not it is required to be registered / modeled
• These cases will be addressed during a WebEx coordinated by the RE’s Account Manager

Special Topics
Originally Presented on 3/13/09
• Issues Encountered on initial audit report group
– Found that some validations were too “tight.”
• These have been relaxed
• Will be discussed on the conference call with your Account Manager if
applicable to your audit report
• Example high / low side manufactured voltage on transformers was asking for
levels at exactly 69,138 or 345 – it now allows up to 9% deviation from these
levels (warns > 5%)
– Data Pre-population issues
• Size of each step on transformer high/low tap settings calculated incorrectly
– ERCOT will calculate this based on data provided by RE
– This will be ignored if in error on the audit report
• Transformer Reactance / Resistance incorrectly calculated
– ERCOT will provide correction to RE’s for first iteration 1 submittal
• Loads missing on Load tab
– In cases where PUN’s have multiple substations under a site code, those
substations that are not the same mnemonic as the site code did not
populate the Load data. ERCOT will send the additional Loads left off
