MARKET NOTICE
January 8, 2002 GCP/PLP Phase 3 Telemetry Requirements Intended Audience: Participating Generators and Loads, Scheduling Coordinators, technology vendors, other interested parties On July 18, 2001, the California Independent System Operator (ISO) sent a formal notice to Market Participants identifying the Monitoring and Communication Requirements for Generating Units providing only Energy and Supplemental Energy other than Ancillary Services (A/S) and/or Regulation (Generator Communication Project/Participating Load Program (GCP/PLP) - Phase 3). This requires each affected Generator to install equipment and software that can interface with the ISO's Energy Management System (EMS) to supply telemetered data by June 1, 2002. The GCP/PLP Phase 3 telemetry requirement was first introduced during the GCP/PLP Meeting held on March 8, 2001. The Phase 3 technical standards developed by the Direct Telemetry Working Group (DTWG) were reviewed at the May 22, 2001 GCP/PLP Meeting and an implementation goal of June 1, 2002 was introduced. Subsequently, the installation deadline of June 1, 2002 for Phase 3 was communicated during the October 9, 2001 GCP/PLP Meeting. The work required to install and test equipment and software that can supply telemetered data to the ISO's EMS must be completed by June 1, 2002. After that date, Generating Units 10 MW or greater in rated capacity that do not meet the ISO's telemetry requirements may be precluded from scheduling Energy or Supplemental Energy with the ISO. The Phase 3 GCP/PLP requirements are posted on the ISO web site at; http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/gcp/requirements.html <http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/gcp/requirements.html<; . Generating Units that installed a Remote Intelligent Gateway (RIG) or Data Processing Gateway (DPG) have fulfilled this requirement if all affected units are visible to the ISO and have been verified by ISO personnel. If you have any questions or concerns about the Phase 3 telemetry requirements, please feel free to call the ISO Client Representative for the GCP/PLP, Dave Timson at (916) 608-7065.
