April Dry Run Scenario Testing Operations Data & Compliance (916) 351-4431 mdas@caiso.com April Dry Run Scenario Testing July 1, 2009
Scenario Testing Resource Types ISO Scenarios are based on Resource Types Load Includes DLAP/CLAP/MLAP, Station Power load resources Ch 1 Generation Includes ISO-polled resources, pumps Ch 4 Ch 1 data on ISO-polled generators will not be affected by scenarios involving Load resources Slide 22
Scenario Timeline Scenario testing only impacts April trade dates Scenario A: Trade Dates 4/1-4/4/09 Scenario B: Trade Dates 4/6-4/9/09 Scenario C: Trade Dates 4/11-4/14/09 Scenario D: Trade Dates 4/16-4/19/09 Scenario E: Trade Dates 4/21-4/24/09 Scenario F: Trade Dates 4/26-4/29/09 Scenario Null: Trade Dates 4/5, 4/10, 4/15, 4/20, 4/25, 4/30 Slide 23
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario A Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD All SC-submitted meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD First Recalculation All Generation and SC-submitted Load resources will be increased by 10% per their respective channels Second Recalculation Data will not be changed Slide 24
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario B Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD All SC-submitted meter data will be set as Estimated = E SQMD First Recalculation All SC-submitted meter data will be resubmitted as Actual = A SQMD Second Recalculation All Generation and SC-submitted Load will be increased by 10% Slide 25
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario C Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD All SC-submitted meter data for generation will be set as Estimate = E SQMD All SC-submitted meter data for load will be set as Actual = A SQMD First Recalculation All generation data will be decreased by 12% Second Recalculation All generation values will be changed back to original values Slide 26
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario D Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD All SC-submitted meter data for generation will be set as Actual = A SQMD All SC-submitted meter data for load will be set as Estimate = E SQMD, First Recalculation All SC-Submitted load data will be decreased by 12% Second Recalculation All SC-Submitted load data will be changed back to original values Slide 27
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario E Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD Some SC-submitted meter data for generation will be set as Estimate = E SQMD, some will be removed to simulate true missing data Some SC-submitted meter data for load will be set as Actual = A SQMD, some will be removed to simulate true missing data First Recalculation All missing/removed data will be reinstated within OMAR Second Recalculation Reinstated data will be removed, Settlements will publish zeroes for missing values. Slide 28
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario F Initial Calculation All CAISO-polled meter data will be set as Actual = A SQMD Some SC-submitted meter data for generation will be set as Actual = A SQMD, some will be removed to simulate true missing data Some SC-submitted meter data for load will be set as Estimate = E SQMD, some will be removed to simulate true missing data First Recalculation Missing/removed data will not be reinstated. Settlements will publish zeroes for missing values. Second Recalculation All data will be reinstated. Published zeroes will be replaced with Actual A data. Slide 29
CAISO Scenario Testing Scenario Null Initial Calculation All CAISO polled meter data and SC-submitted meter data will be missing. No meter data will be included in OMAR-Online and No meter data will be submitted to Settlements.* First Recalculation All CAISO and SC-submitted meter data will be submitted as Actual A data.* Second Recalculation All data will be reinstated. Published zeroes will be replaced with Actual A data. * Excludes Inter/Intraties Slide 30
April Scenario Testing Key Points Only April trade dates affected by scenario testing Participants can only view/download data ISO Estimated data is not viewable in OMAR-Online Missing data simulates what happens if data is not received in a timely manner or meter is not available to be polled Slide 31
Payment Acceleration Changes to Meter Data Processing, Files Operations Data & Compliance (916) 351-4431 mdas@caiso.com Meter Data Processing in the Payment Acceleration Dry Run July 1, 2009
Overview What if? Definition of file types in Payment Acceleration CSV MDEF Estimation by interval Estimation by file Screenshots of OMAR-Online enhancements Slide 33
What if If No meter data is submitted by T+5B noon PPT SC submits ESQMD but doesn t replace it with ASQMD by T+43C Actual meter data is not submitted prior to T+61B to replace ISO Estimated meter data Then ISO estimates data in Settlements Settlements will use the ESQMD for the first recalculation, but data is considered late and subject to Late/Missing data protocol per ISO Tariff ISO Settlements will settle on 0 values for the missing ASQMD Remember: Estimated data that is settled upon is subject to the appropriate Settlements charge codes Slide 34
File Type, CSV CSV file Estimate on an interval by interval basis Users can easily identify individual intervals as actual or estimated E = Estimated, A = Actual identified under Status column File submitted as FileName.csv Slide 35

File Screen Changes in OMAR-Online, Payment Acceleration Actual Estimated Slide 40
File Versioning As an enhancement to OMAR-Online, file versioning will be available in the later stages of the Dry Run Users can view the content of their data (status flag, values, and time stamp) for a given resource to assist them when analyzing their Settlement statements Slide 41
File Versioning, OMAR-Online Clearly provides date file was submitted and file ID Clearly identifies all versions (current version is largest number) Clearly notes if Estimate (E) or Actual (A) Slide 42
File Versioning, OMAR-Online The version drop down box will allow participants to view any version individually, Current, 1, 2, etc., or All versions in the same table Slide 43
