AI generated summary
ERCOT staff and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) convened on February 27 to discuss two protocol revision requests concerning the grid operator's real-time co-optimization (RTC) and battery project, which is set to launch in December. The discussions focused on NPRR1268 and NPRR1269, with TAC members expressing their concerns ahead of the ERCOT Board of Directors' meeting in April. The urgency of the timeline was emphasized, as the committee has limited opportunities to address these revisions before the board's approval.
Much of the conversation revolved around NPRR1269, which aims to codify policy changes related to ancillary service proxy offers and demand curves. The Independent Market Monitor raised concerns about the potential for excessively high proxy prices and their implications for market reliability. Meanwhile, the TAC endorsed NPRR1190, which allows for the recovery of financial losses due to manual dispatch limit overrides. The committee also discussed the aggregated distributed energy resources (ADER) pilot project, which is progressing into its third phase, focusing on third-party aggregator participation and consumer protection.
