2.Introduction

2.1Background

Bid Cost Recovery (BCR) is the process by which the CAISO ensures SCs are able to recover Start Up Costs (SUC), Minimum Load Costs (MLC), and Bid Costs. In order to recover SUC and MLC, a Generating Unitor, Pumped-Storage Unit, or resource-specific System Resource must be committed by the CAISO. Bid cost recovery for energy and Ancillary Services bids (A/S) appliesy to various Bid Cost Recovery Eligible Resources (for example, Generating Unitsors, Pumped-Storage Units, Proxy Demand Resources, and resource-specific System Resources) scheduled or dispatched by CAISO regardless of whether the resource was committed by CAISO, or was self committed..

For purposes of determining BCR eligibility, CAISO uses a concept called Commitment Period. A Commitment Period consists of the consecutive time periods within a Trading Day when a resource is on-line, synchronized to the grid, and available for dispatch. A Commitment Period is comprised of two distinct sub-types --- Self-Commitment Period and CAISO Commitment Period. The portion of a Commitment Period where a resource submits energy self-schedule or A/S self provision is called a Self-Commitment Period. A Self-Commitment Period may include time periods when a resource is not operating pursuant of an Energy self-schedule or A/S self-provision, but must be on as a result of an Energy Self-Schedule or A/S self-provision due to ramping constraints, minimum up time, or minimum down time. Resources are not eligible for BCR of SUC and MLC during Self-Commitment Periods, but are eligible for BCR of awarded energy and A/S. The portion of a Commitment Period that is not a Self-Commitment Period is called CAISO Commitment Period. Resources are eligible to receive BCR for SUC, MLC, awarded energy and A/S during a CAISO Commitment Period.

SUC and MLC for each market and resource are determined in Pre-Calculation IFM/RUC/RTM Start-up and Minimum Load Eligibility then used as inputs to calculate a resource’s net difference between costs and revenues in separate pre-calculations by market --- IFM Net Amount, RUC Net Amount, and RTM Net Amount. If the difference between the total costs and the market revenues is positive in the relevant market, then the net amount represents a Shortfall. If the difference is negative in the relevant market, the net amount represents a Surplus. For each resource, the IFM, RUC, and RTM Shortfalls and Surpluses are then netted over all hours of a Trading Day. As a result, surpluses from any of the CAISO markets offset any shortfalls from the other markets over the entire Trading Day. If the net Trading Day amount is positive (a Shortfall), then the resource receives a BCR Uplift Payment equal to the net Trading Day amount under CC 6620 Bid Cost Recovery Settlement.

For MSS entities that have elected gross settlement, the Energy settlement is exactly the same as other Scheduling Coordinators. For MSS entities that have elected net settlement, for both IFM and RTM the Energy MWh quantity is based on the net of Generation and Demand (scheduled quantities in the Day-Ahead Schedule by the IFM and measured quantities for RTM) within the MSS. Therefore, the settlement quantity is proposed to be done on MSS-level basis. Net load from MSS operators that have elected net settlement will be settled at the MSS LAP price and net-Generation from such MSS operators will be settled at the weighted average LMPs over all PNodes within the MSS with Generation schedules for IFM and measured Generation for RTM as weighting factors.

2.2Description

For each Settlement Interval, this pre-calculation will generate the IFM Bid Costs, IFM market revenue, and the IFM Net Amount as the net difference between IFM costs and IFM revenue for various Bid Cost Recovery Eligible Resources (for example, participating Generating Unitsors, Pumped-Storage Units, Proxy Demand Resources and resource specific System Resources). The IFM Net Amount is subsequently used as an input for CC 6620, Bid Cost Recovery Settlement and pre-calculation Bid Cost Recovery Sequential Netting.

Prior to the September 21, 2006 FERC Order, as long as a resource performed within its relevant Tolerance Band according to CAISO dispatch instructions, IFM Bid Costs were calculated as the algebraic summation of eligible Start Up Costs and eligible Minimum Load Costs, calculated by predecessor pre-calculation IFM/RUC/RTM Start-up and Minimum Load Eligibility, as well as A/S costs, and Energy costs. Otherwise, the resource’s IFM Bid Costs for any Settlement Interval were set to zero.With the FERC Order, a resource will no longer be required to perform within its relevant Tolerance Band as stated in Paragraph #516 of the FERC Order. Additionally stated in Paragraph #516, Resources that fall short of the Day Ahead and RT Dispatch Instructions shall only be guaranteed the recovery of cost associated with the Energy actually provided, and should not receive payment for deviations from DA Schedule or RT Dispatch Instructions.

IFM market revenues are calculated for each Settlement Interval as the sum of 1) The product of Awarded A/S and the relevant ASMP, divided by the number of Settlement Intervals in a Trading Hour, plus 2) The product of Awarded Energy (above Minimum Load or Self-Schedule for Self Commitment Periods, but the entire IFM Schedule for CAISO Commitment Periods) and the IFM LMP, divided by the number of Settlement Intervals in a Trading Hour.

For the MSS entity electing net settlement regardless of other MSS optional elections, settlement MWh quantity is determined at the MSS level for MSSs within MSS Aggregation or being standalone rather than on individual resource level. For an MSS net-load in the DA Schedule, i.e. MSS internal Demand exceeds internal generation in the Day-Ahead Schedule; the MSS is not eligible for BCR. For the MSS net-generation in Day-Ahead Schedule, i.e. MSS internal Generation exceeds the internal Demand; the Energy of the net Generation in Day-Ahead schedule is paid at the price equal to the weighted average of IFM LMPs for all applicable PNodes within the relevant MSS, the net Generation energy is eligible for BCR. The weighting factors for computing the weighted average are the MSS Generation corresponding to different PNodes in Day-Ahead schedule. The settlement MWh quantity is the net Energy of the MSS.

3.Charge Code Requirements

3.1Business Rules

Bus Req ID / Business Rule
1.0 / This Pre-calc is a daily computation generating results on a Settlement Interval basis.
2.0 / Resources that fall short of the Day Ahead shall only be guaranteed the recovery of cost associated with the Energy actually provided. In the case of positive uninstructed deviation, the eligible resource will be entitled to Bid Cost Recovery based on its scheduled Energy.
2.1 / Mitigated Bid prices are used when calculating IFM Bid Costs.
3.0 / Regardless of Resource Type, IFM Net Amount must follow the same sign convention --- positive IFM Net Amount indicates a Shortfall, negative IFM Net Amount indicates a Surplus.
4.0 / Resource-specific System Resources are system resources that are eligible to submit a 3-part bid and are paid or charged at the resource-specific Day Ahead LMP.
5.0 / Pass Through Bill Charge Adjustment Logic does not apply.
6.0 / For the MSS entity electing net settlement, if the DA Demand exceeds the DA Generation schedule, the MSS energy is not eligible for BCR,with the exception of Ancillary Awards, which are eligible for BCR regardless of MSS gross or net election.
7.0 / For the MSS entity electing net settlement, if the DA Generation schedule exceeds the DA Demand, only the DA Generation schedule energy that is above the DA Demand is eligible for BCR.
8.0 / Non-Dynamic System Resources and Resource-Specific System Resources are considered to be outside the MSS; therefore, will settle on a resource basis at the Intertie LMP or Resource-Specific LMP respectively, regardless of net or gross election.
