5Overview
- April 17, 2009 - NAESB files results of March 16,
2009 adoption of Wholesale Demand Response
Measurement and Verification Standards, under
Docket RM-05-017 - September 17, 2009 - FERC NOPR announced at open
meeting. - September 22, 2009 FERC NOPR published in
Federal Register. - October 22, 2009 - Comment period ends
6Summary
- FERC proposes to incorporate by reference in its
regulations at 18 CFR 38.2 business practices
standards adopted by the Wholesale Electric
Quadrant of NAESB to categorize various demand
response products and services and to report the
measurement and verification of these products
and services in wholesale energy markets. (Sec. 1)
7Summary - Background
- Standards developed by ANSI accredited Board,
NAESB. (Sec. 2) - Standards developed by NAESB cover Wholesale and
Retail Gas and Electric designed to streamline
transactional and communications processes. (Sec.
3) - NAESB process is open and requires majority
support from EC, 40 support from 6 industry
segments in wholesale quadrant transmission,
generation, marketer/brokers, distribution/LSE,
end users, independent grid operators/planners,
and supermajority support from WEQ membership.
(Sec.4)
8Summary
- NAESB submits Phase I Standards referenced in
Section 1 April 17, 2009 and notes Phase II WEQ
DR standards development work in progress (Sec.5) - Phase I standards include 31 business practices
and 40 definitions identifying the MV
characteristics of Demand Response products in
wholesale markets. Work plan item 4.b, Phase II
standards, was established concurrently with EC
approval of Phase I (Sec 6)
9Summary Description of MV Standards
- Phase I MV standards identify operational
information, performance evaluation
methodologies, and definitions. (Sec 7) - Standards address transparency requirements for
four Demand Response product types Energy,
Capacity, Ancillary Services Regulation and
Ancillary Services Reserve products. Many
characteristics are common across products types
with some exclusive to a single product. (Sec 8) - Standards require System Operator to make
specific methods to be used and required
information publically available. (sec 9)
10Summary - Discussion
- Incorporate by reference into FERC regulations
WEQ Phase I MV standards and associated terms in
WEQ-015 glossary. (Sec 10) - The standard enhances Transparency and
Consistency to methods used to measure and verify
demand response products in wholesale markets - Glossary provides standardized definitions of
demand response services, operational terms and
performance measurement. - The standards establishes basis upon which to
develop more comprehensive standards for
provisioning demand response in wholesale
markets.
11Summary - Discussion
- NAESBs consensus driven process for adoption of
standards provides for reasonableness test
drawing broad support from segments of industry.
(Sec 11) - Business Practice Standards are intended to
facilitate ability of demand response providers
to participate in markets, reduce transaction
costs, and provide more customers to
participate, especially for those in multiple
markets. These standards provide framework for
additional standardization efforts and to
identify those elements for which standardization
would be beneficial.
12Summary - Discussion
- NAESBs WEQ should continue their efforts to
develop substantive standards for operation,
evaluation and performance of demand response. - FERC believe Industry should continue to take
lead in developing and implementing demand
response standards that are practical and
workable. - FERC seeks comment on establishing a deadline for
development of these remaining critical
standards.
13Summary Notice of Voluntary Consensus Standards
- FERC provides Notice of Proposed Rule Making in
compliance with OMB Circular A-119 (section 11)
(February 10, 1998). (Sec 14)
