NYISO Markets
• Energy - in two separate markets:
• Day-Ahead
• Real-Time
• 2 direct bid Ancillary Services
• Operating Reserve
• Regulation
• Generation Capacity - ICAP
• Cost Based Ancillary Services
• Congestion Protection - the “TCC”

Information System (MIS), participating in the
several ancillary service markets

Reliability Coordinator’s Responsibility
If we don’t coordinate the collective security
of the interconnected power system, the
whole business can collapse like a house of
cards. It has happened, and it’s not pretty:
The Northeast Blackout – Nov. 9th 1965
(the ‘grand-daddy’ of them all until…)
11
Other Notable Events
July 1977 - New York City
July 1989 - Province of Quebec
January 1994 – WSCC
December 1994 – WSCC
July, August 1996 – Pacific NW (3 times)
January 1998 – Montreal and Northern NY
December 1998 – San Francisco
And who can forget…
August 14, 2003 – Midwest and Northeast

doomed to repeat it.

Transmission interfaces (“flowgates”)


Likely transmission constraints in NYCA
Ties with neighboring systems
14
Interaction with Generators
Real-time security dispatch adjusts output of
generators to respect system security
constraints
AGC adjusts generation to maintain area
control error (ACE)
Reserve pick-up adjusts generation following
a contingency loss of resource
15
Load Following - RTS
RTS dispatches generators with basepoints to meet
the 5 minute projected load
Primary control of generation based on availability, cost,
capability limits, and response rates
Maintain reserve requirements
Adjusts generation to solve security constraints
Calculates real time prices
16
Maintaining Interchange Schedules
CONTROL AREA OPERATION MEANS:
BALANCING
GENERATION
WITH LOAD
WHILE RESPECTING
TRANSMISSION CONSTRAINTS
7
17
Generation Dispatch to Follow the Load
Day-ahead (SCUC) – commits generation to load forecast
and sufficient additional generation to meet reliability
requirements (including reserve)
Hour-ahead – in-day in advance of real time
Off dispatch units are scheduled by the hour
Transactions are scheduled by the hour
Additional generation needed resulting from forced outages,
external schedule changes or forecast error
5-minute – load following with on-dispatch units receiving
5-min. base points
Six second – AGC with on-control units receiving 6-sec.
base points respond to Area Control Error

19
NYISO Operating Reserve
Consistent with NPCC Criteria and NYSRC Reliability
rules, the NYCA must maintain sufficient operating
reserve to withstand any loss of generation in the CA
within design criteria
NYCA Operating Reserve Requirement is 1 ½ times the
largest contingency
the largest source contingency is typically 1200 MW
Operating Reserve is maintained in three catagories
 Ten minute Synchronous Reserve
 Total ten minute reserve
 Total 30 minute reserve
20
Reserve Requirements
NYISO instituted – TO communicated
Reserve Pick-up
 Payment based on following NYISO basepoints
 Energy dispatch based on economic selection, not
necessarily units carrying reserve
 Performance penalties suspended
“Max Gen” Pick-up
 Generation expected to produce at maximum capability –
reimbursed for energy produced – no base points
 Performance penalties suspended.
Selective Max Gen Pick-up
 Instituted on a zonal basis
21
Interaction with Transmission Owners
Real-time security monitors loading of critical
transmission facilities and paths
NYISO coordinates facility switching for
scheduled outages
Coordinate response to emergency outages
and/or contingency loss of facilities
Coordinate EHV voltage profiles
22
Security Constraints
Frequency
Voltage
Equipment Ratings
System Constraints
23
Frequency
Frequency is an indicator of the “health” of the
interconnection
Sudden changes in frequency are signals of “things
happening” somewhere
Slow changes/small deviations in frequency
generally indicate load/generation “trends”
“Frequency is like the weather – everybody talks
about it…”
24
Security Constraints
Frequency
Voltage
Equipment Ratings
System Constraints
25
Voltage Control
NYISO coordinates the voltage profile on the EHV
transmission system
NYISO requests for reactive support relayed by TO to
generators
Report AVR outages to the NYISO
NYISO directs switching of EHV connected shunt capacitors
and reactors
“Out of normal” operation of transmission regulation
devices (SVCs, etc.)

Equipment Ratings
System Constraints
27
Ratings of Facilities
Transmission equipment ratings
Tie-line Rating Guide (NYSRC)
 Line conductor (size, configuration)
 Transformer ratings
Load & Interrupting Current ratings
 Breaker continuous (load) and interrupting (fault)
 CT, wavetrap, instrumentation ratings
 Bus conductor ampacity
Generator capability and response rates
Voltage ratings/limits - high and low
28
Ratings of Transmission Facilities
Transmission equipment ratings
Tie-line Rating Guide (NYSRC)
Transmission line conductor
Terminal equipment and bus section
Ratings of jointly owned facilities
Rating authority – real-time updates
Transformers
Self-cooled, forced cooled
Tap-changing capability
29
Generator Equipment Ratings
Generators required to perform periodic testing
to demonstrate capability
DMNC (seasonal) for real power for participation
in the energy and ICAP
Reactive capability testing (annual) for
participation in the VSS Ancillary Service
30
Voltage Ratings/Limits
NYISO Controlled/Secured Stations
T&D or EO Manual, App. A-3 lists stations that NYISO
monitors and secures
Owner sets the post-contingency high/low voltage
limits based on equipment ratings
NYISO establishes pre-contingency high/low
voltage limits to secure
Prevent violation of post-contingency limit
Pre-contingency limits determined by through system
studies and approved

Transmission System Constraints
Thermal ratings
Transient Stability Limits
Station Voltage limits
Voltage Constrained Transfers
Locational Reserve requirements
Local Reliability constraints
33
Transmission Interfaces
Historically in NYCA we have used
transmission interfaces to monitor and
secure the system
6 internal interfaces
 Several have transient or voltage stability limits
 All are evaluated on a forecast seasonal basis
4 external interfaces (neighboring CAs)
 Monitor inter-Area schedules/transactions
 All are evaluated on a forecast seasonal basis

transfers in the vicinity of the constraint

37
Solving Transmission Constraints
NYISO Real-time dispatch will adjust
generation to solve security constraints

Summary
The foundation for maintaining Reliability comes from
the adequacy and security of:
Frequency, Voltage, Reserve, Regulation, while respecting
equipment and interface limits.
The NYISO uses EMS applications to commit, schedule
and dispatch generation, balance load to secure the
system:
Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC)
Balancing Market Evaluation (BME)
Security Constrained Dispatch (SCD) and Automatic
Generation Control (BME)
