What is an IOS?
required to achieve one (or more) reliability
objectives:
– generation/load balance (continuous and post
contingency)
– transmission security
– emergency preparedness
measurable
higher cost or effort.

Where We’ve Been
IOSWG Report Issued March, 1997
Decision to convert IOSWG report to Policy
10 by EC/OC April 1997
IOSITF formed September 1997
Policy 10 R1 posted April, 1998
Policy 10 R2 posted December, 1998
Policy 10 Adopted as White Paper, July 1999
Policy 10 R3 posted December, 1999
Where We’re Going***
IOSITF to issue responses to public comments
IOSITF submits draft 3.1 for NERC OC approval and MIC
concurrence in March 13-15, 2000
NERC Board Approval - May 2000
Assign subcommittee to resolve solutions to 7 nontechnical issues in implementation of Policy 10.
Compliance Templates (Metrics) for Policy 10 to be posted
summer 2000
Effective date of Operating Policy 10 and associated
compliance templates in their entirety January 2002
*** Future plans subject to change!
Seven non-technical issues
1. Distinction between NERC IOS and FERC Ancillary Services
2. Allow implementation of Policy 10 in a manner that adheres to
reliability principles yet accommodates differences in emerging market
structures.
3. Prepare to file Operating Policy 10 with FERC.
4. Determine the necessary requirements for independence of the
Operating Authority from commercial interests.
5. Determine the applicability of Operating Policy 10, in particular, how
the Policy applies to traditional, vertically integrated utilities.
6. Recognize the potential interactions of Policy 10 with Policies 1-9.
7. Coordinate remaining steps to enact Operating Policy 10.
IOS “White Paper”
Approved by the NERC SC in July 1999
Contains IOS Standards
– Defines IOS
– Describes obligation of Suppliers and
Operating Authorities
– Defines IOS Resource certification
Contains IOS Metrics
– Describes measurement of delivery
– Proposes method for determining adequate
delivery
Need for Policy 10
Lack of standards will result in inconsistent practices, which
may undermine reliability.
Assists industry restructuring initiatives:
– Corporate realignment or functional unbundling
– Divestiture
– Operational Unbundling
– Evolving markets
Operating Authorities (OA’s) may no longer own nor have
inherent “rights” to resources that supply IOS
Nothing is free. Formal agreements/protocols will replace
informal arrangements.
Ancillary Services Relative to IOS
Ancillary services:
– are driven by regulatory objectives (open, nondiscriminatory transmission access, equitable cost
recovery)
– provide a means to recover costs (i.e. collect revenues)
IOS:
– constitute “building blocks” (physical capabilities)
needed to support reliability
– have always existed, and will always exist under some
name
– are combined and deployed to provide ancillary services
– Accommodate local/regional needs
Operating Authorities’ Obligations

response times (if applicable)

*** Use inclusive, open process to establish
regional/local requirements
Operating Authorities’ Obligations
Arrange for and deploy IOS to meet
reliability obligations
Adapt and modify requirements in response
to system conditions
Monitor supplier’s performance
Suppliers’ Obligations
Deliver stated capabilities
Certify resources as required
Provide and maintain required metering &
telecommunication facilities
Provide information needed to verify
performance
Notify Operating Authority of changes in
capability

IOS Quantity relationships
Definitions and associated rules determine
how much is needed for each bucket.
Total amount is the same, so rules just shift
amounts from one bucket to another.
Examples:
– generation scheduling method impacts the amount of
Regulation needed.
– Capacity bought with rights to dispatch serves any
Load Following need.
– 16 hour energy schedule increases variability that must
be corrected with another resource.
IOS Measurements
Lots of details & possibilities
Is there a single number to “measure” one
service?
Some measurement objectives are tied to
desired financial terms.
– frequency of CR deployment
– variability of Regulation schedule
– Measure capability shortfalls?
Some measurement objectives measure
whether reliability was maintained
– did the resource follow the request?

Supplier Control Error
Any dispatch request can be expressed as a
variable schedule.
SCE = actual - scheduled
Need to measure SCE average and “variability”
IOS are used to correct for SCE
a resource can both supply, and consume, IOS
schedule respects stated (agreed to) resource
capabilities
If a resource is providing several products, the
purchasing entities need to agree how to divide the
single delivery error.

Certification tests, and actual performance during an
event.
IOS Measurement Impacts
Additional control center (EMS?) capabilities will
be needed to:
– calculate IOS performance, and
– track variables tied to IOS financial settlement.
In general, will need to track requests in
future, whereas present practice largely
tracks actual output
Will need to track intra-hour performance

– record from 1 minute before notification until 19 minutes past TDCS
-X
Certifying entity
– ensures that actual is between 100% and Y% of CR amount
– issues certification
Certification - Reactive Supply
Based on Planning Standards
IOS Resource
– performs AVR tests as described in NERC Planning
Standards 2B M4 & 2B M6.
– Verifies and maintains its stated reactive capacity, as
described in NERC Planning Standards 2B M3.
Certifying entity
– verifies completion of all test criteria
– issues certification
Certification - Frequency Response
Mutually agree on test period
IOS Resource
– record output changes in response to a test frequency
signal, or
– test that portion of the governor system that can be
tested if real power cannot be modified.
Certifying entity
– verifies completion of all test criteria
– issues certification
Certification - System Black Start Capability
Composed of five parts:
–
–
–
–
–
control communication path
primary and alternate voice circuits
Basic Starting Test
Line Energizing Test
Load Carrying Test
– Many comments were received that some of the
last two tests were too difficult to perform.
Basic Starting Test
Mutually agree on a one week test window
Operating Authority
–
–
–
–
selects actual time of test within the week (surprise test)
isolates IOS Resource from the power system
request that resource start within the agreed-upon time
ensure that the resource remains frequency and voltage stable for
30 minutes
Line Energizing Test
Isolate sufficient transmission as called for
in black start plan
Conduct a Basic Starting Test
monitor frequency & voltage at both ends of
line while energized by resource
ensure that the resource remains frequency and
voltage stable for 30 minutes
Load Carrying Test
Conduct a Basic Starting Test
Conduct a Line Energizing Test
Pick up sufficient load at the remote end of
the line
ensure that the resource and load remains
frequency and voltage stable for 30 minutes
Black Start Certification
Certification is issued upon:
–
–
–
–
–
control communication performance
test primary and alternate voice circuits
One year Basic Starting Test
Three years Line Energizing Test
Six years Load Carrying Test
Provisions for revocation of certification
Practical example
Contingency Reserves
Three Ancillary Service supply options:
– purchase from CA,
– purchase from third party, or
– self provision
OA(CA) just needs to dispatch resource
Which resources/suppliers form the pool of eligible
suppliers for Contingency Reserves?
Which resources/suppliers can actually be dispatched by
the reserve sharing system?
Certification helps to answer these questions.
Conclusion
Many of the concepts described in Policy 10
must be implemented, in some manner, as long
as the electric industry continues on the path to
deregulation
