  17. 168HR Supporting Materials http://nodal.ercot.com 17

  18. Evaluation Criteria • Validate ERCOT and Market Participants have the proper resources and expertise to manage a Nodal system for 7 days. This will be measured by the successful adherence to internal ERCOT procedures during the 168-Hour test to be validated by the ERCOT Training Department during the test and evidenced to the market within a report. Market Participant’s Nodal Accountable Executive will self attest to their criterion. • Credit – monitor credit exposures, create credit reports and accurately reflect each market participant’s credit position based on their activity during the 168-Hour test. • Validate data model accuracy between all systems including integration of the upstream NMMS system with downstream systems (e.g. DAM, MMS, EMS and CRR). This will be measured by existing ERCOT procedures. All issues observed regarding inaccurate modeling during the 168-Hour test will be reported on by ERCOT to the ERCOT Board, Independent Market Monitor, and the related Market Participant forums (NATF and TAC) as to the problem found, root cause of the error in the first place, and what process changes are being implemented to ensure that similar model accuracy issues do not reoccur going forward. ERCOT shall attest to the data model accuracy in and between all systems as a result of TSP and Resource Entity data passing the ERCOT validation rules. • Execute DAM, DRUC, HRUC and WRUC for 7 days within timelines set by Nodal Protocols. If any activities fall outside of expected timelines, procedures for handling such incident must be executed by ERCOT personnel in adherence with Nodal Protocols and internal ERCOT procedures. • Verify RT Operators can maintain system frequency to scheduled frequency, maintain ancillary obligations and resolve constraints during the period in which ERCOT will be performing Full System Market and Reliability tests during the 168-Hour Test. http://nodal.ercot.com 18

  19. Evaluation Criteria • Validate ERCOT can effectively and accurately manage all constraints in both DAM and RT (i.e. not constrain on invalid contingencies or inaccurate line ratings) and system will utilize full list of competitive constraints. • Validate that ERCOT can execute and manage all SPS, RAPs, PCAPs, MPs, and TOAPs to control congestion in the DAM, DRUC, HRUC, and RT as appropriate. • Validate that ERCOT is accurately reflecting all congestion mitigation measures (SPS, RAPs) in DAM. • The rolling CPS1 one minute average score must equal or exceed 100% during the Full System Market and Reliability test period. The target minimum is 125. • Note that the CPS1 average will not take into account the two one-hour periods when ERCOT is transitioning to Nodal and then back to Zonal and any periods in which ERCOT must deploy RRS in response to system contingencies. • Zonal Commercially Significant Constraints (CSCs) and Closely Related Elements (CREs). managed below thermal limits. • Local Congestion managed below thermal limits. • Stability limits managed below transfer limits. • No NERC Disturbance Control Standard (DCS) failure if applicable. • No LFC-SCED system issues that result in termination of the test. • The 168-Hour test will provide adequate data to set the GREDP/CLREDP performance. criteria variables X, Y, and Z. ERCOT shall produce appropriate reports that can be used to set these variables. • Bilateral trades are processed and flow through the market systems with results returned to MPS. • Outputs from the Day Ahead Market, Reliability Unit Commitment, and Real Time Market can be reasonably explained based on the inputs. http://nodal.ercot.com 19
