4 Dsclamer All nformaton contaned n ths draft Busness Requrements Specfcaton (BRS) as provded by the Calforna Independent System Operator Corporaton (ISO) s prepared for dscusson and nformaton purposes only. The draft BRS s provded as s wthout representaton or warranty of any knd, ncludng, wthout lmtaton, a representaton or warranty as to accuracy, completeness, or approprateness for any partcular purpose. The draft BRS shall be revsed as the development and revew of the busness requrements progresses. The ISO assumes no responsblty for the consequences of any errors or omssons. The ISO may revse or wthdraw all or part of ths nformaton at any tme at ts dscreton wthout notce. 1. Introducton 1.1 Purpose The purpose of ths document s to capture and record a descrpton of what the Users and Busness Stakeholders of the project wsh to obtan by provdng hgh-level busness requrements. Ths document establshes the bass for the blateral agreement between the ntators and mplementers of the project. The nformaton n ths document serves as nput to determnng the scope of Informaton Systems projects and to all Busness Process Modelng and System Requrements Specfcatons efforts. These requrements are ntended for submsson to the Informaton Technology Servces (ITS) department and wll serve as the ntal set of busness unt requrements for the approprate software applcaton/systems development effort. It s understood that ITS wll perform addtonal requrements and systems analyss and may produce To Be Busness Process Models, System Requrements Specfcatons, and Use Cases to serve as the set of requrements documents used by the ITS development teams to buy, modfy, or buld the necessary software and hardware systems. The Busness Unt(s) nvolved n the project wll have an opportunty to revew and approve all ITS requrements documentaton produced. 1.2 References All references represent external requrements documents or stakeholder requests developed and submtted by the Busness Unts. 1) The draft fnal proposal and ts addendum for convergence bddng are located on the Convergence Bddng web page at Draft Stake Holder Proposal fnal proposal: Addendum to Draft Stake Holder proposal (ncludng updates/changes to the draft stake holder proposal): Path to fle: Page 4 of 58

On October 29, 2009, ISO Board of Governors approves the proposed market enhancement, convergence bddng, as descrbed n the lnked document Detals of Busness Problem and Relevant Market Intatve 2.1 Descrpton On September 21, 2006, FERC ssued an Order 1 drectng the CAISO to fle tarff language for our revew for the mplementaton of convergence bddng wthn 12 months after the effectve date of MRTU Release 1.. FERC recognzed that, although each of the elements was mportant, mplementng them smultaneously wth MRTU Release 1 would mpede the CAISO s ablty to mplement MRTU tmely. By mplementng Convergence Bddng and the other elements of Markets and Performance ( MAP ) n a phased approach followng mplementaton of MRTU, the CAISO can successfully balance the need to mplement and stablze the base MRTU desgn tmely wth the benefts of addng market effcences wthn a reasonable tme after MRTU Go Lve. The Calforna ISO (the CAISO) has engaged n an on-gong stakeholder process to develop the key features for convergence bddng that began n summer of 2006 and contnued wth a seres of meetngs n 2007 and There was no stakeholder actvty on convergence bddng from November 2008 through June 2009 whle the ISO prepared to launch MRTU and durng the frst few months of MRTU operaton.

6 process resumed n July 2009 wth a Straw Proposal posted on July 2 and a stakeholder meetng held on July 9. A seres of three stakeholder conference calls were held n August through September to contnue to dscuss key elements of the desgn of convergence bddng wth stakeholders. Ths Draft Fnal Proposal ncorporates new desgn features dscussed on the recent stakeholder conference calls and ncorporates stakeholder comments. A combned Market Survellance Commttee (MSC) Stakeholder meetng has been held on September 18, 2009 to dscuss the key elements of the proposal. CAISO has ssued an addendum to the draft fnal proposal to descrbe the revsons on October 2, 2009 and dscussed wth stakeholders at a meetng scheduled on October 9. The ISO s requested fnal comments from stakeholders on the Draft Fnal Proposal for Convergence Bddng by close of busness October 14. On October 21, 2009, CAISO has ssued Board memo descrbng the fnal polcy on convergence bddng for Board approval. On October 29, 2009, CAISO Board of Governors approved the proposed market enhancement, convergence bddng, as descrbed n the Board memo. Whle the MRTU desgn provdes a complete framework for a nodal-based electrcty market that generates Locatonal Margnal Prces (LMPs), the elements contaned wthn MAP wll ncrease the effcency and lqudty of the MRTU desgn by addng bddng tools, creatng ncentves for ncreased supply/reduced demand and removng mpedments to bddng. These enhancements can be expected to ncrease partcpaton n the CAISO market, provde more robust competton for supply and demand and, ultmately, may reduce prces pad by end users. Convergence Bddng tends to cause DAM and RTM prces to move closer together, or "converge," thus the name Convergence Bddng. Ths reduces ncentves for under-schedulng Load n the DAM by reducng potental fnancal benefts for watng untl the RTM. It also provdes greater transparency by makng convergence bds explct, rather than mplct. The ncreased market lqudty from convergence bddng also can help mtgate the market power of physcal supplers. Some market partcpants can use convergence bddng as a rsk management tool to hedge the possblty of generator outage. 3. Busness Process Impacts 3.1 Product Impacts Energy: Convergence bddng wll add lqudty to the Energy market. It s dffcult to estmate whether there wll be a net upward or downward nfluence on DA or RT prces, although CB should reduce the dfference between prces n the two markets. RUC: Although Convergence Bds wll not explctly mpact RUC as RUC wll contnue to use Forecast Demand, rather than Bd-In Demand, RUC may need to commt more resources wth RA capacty and/or nternal generators f vrtual supply largely exceeds vrtual demand. Generaton: Convergence Bddng Enttes (.e. enttes that regster as qualfy to become Convergence Bddng Enttes wll be permtted to submt vrtual supply/demand bds (through Schedulng Coordnators) at any prcng node that s connected to a physcal generaton resource (subject to lmtatons) and at the EZ- Gen Hubs. Load Convergence Bddng Enttes wll be permtted to submt vrtual supply/demand bds (through Schedulng Coordnators) at any ndvdual prcng node that s connected to a demand resource (subject to lmtatons) and at default load aggregaton ponts (LAPs).

7 Intertes: Convergence Bddng Enttes wll be permtted to submt vrtual supply/vrtual demand bds (through Schedulng Coordnators) at the ntertes (subject to lmtatons). 3.2 External Busness Impacts Convergence Bddng mpacts external busness process prmarly through the Day Ahead bddng process. Generator owners can hedge the fnancal mpacts of generator outages. Convergence Bddng Enttes can realze profts or losses based on prce dfferences between DAM and RTM Pros 1.) Generator owners can hedge the rsk of outages that occur after the close of the DA market. Rather than assumng the fnancal rsk of purchasng Energy at Real Tme prces to compensate for DA awards that are not delvered. They can mtgate ther rsk by usng Convergence Bds to assume a fnancal poston based on the RTM-DAM prce dfference 2.) Enttes that operate n fnancal nstruments can apply ther market knowledge and rsk management strateges to arbtrage prce dfferences between the DA and RT markets, thus offerng opportuntes for proft as well as rsk of loss. 3.) As Convergence Bddng matures, those who use ths functon are expected to cause DAM and RTM prces to converge. Ths convergence between DA and RT prces wll reduce the ncentve for Load to defer bddng and schedulng untl RT. A hgher percentage of Loads scheduled n the DA Market wll ncrease the CAISO s ablty to manage the grd relably Cons 1.) Because convergence bds are fnancal nstruments only, they offer the potental for fnancal gan (and loss) wthout delverng a physcal product. 2.) The presence of convergence bds n the market optmzaton could affect the ablty of the optmzaton to reach an optmal soluton. 3.) Convergence bds may cause phantom or artfcal network congeston durng Network Applcaton executons n the DAM. 3.3 Justfcaton There are three prmary justfcatons for mplementng Convergence Bddng: 1.) Market Lqudty. Convergence Bddng adds lqudty to the CAISO market that s not present n the exstng producton. Specfcally, Convergence Bddng wll attract market partcpants that trade n fnancal products that wll add depth to the CAISO s Day Ahead Market. 2.) Conformty wth other ISOs. The addton of Convergence Bddng conforms the CAISO market to those n place n other ISOs throughout North Amerca, thus provdng a desgn consstent wth those used by the CAISO s market Partcpants. 3.) FERC Complance. Implementng Convergence Bddng would place the CAISO n complance wth drecton from FERC to mplement Convergence Bddng. Path to fle: Page 7 of 58

These may represent hgh level functonal, non-functonal, report and/or nfrastructure requrements. These busness requrements drectly relate to the hgh level scope tems determned for the project. In the followng busness requrements, there are some namng conventons beng used, Convergence Bddng Entty (CB), Schedulng Coordnator (SC) and SC ID Refer to Chapter 5 for an explanaton of these terms and ther relatonshp; Convergence Bd, Vrtual Supply Bd and Vrtual Demand Bd We follow the same conventon as n our polcy paper. Whle the fnancal bd s generally referred to as convergence bd, the supply sde or demand sde s generally referred to as vrtual supply bd or vrtual demand bd. Refer to Chapter 5 for more explanaton. 4.1 Busness Process: Manage Day Ahead Market Busness Requrements ID# BRQ001 BRQ002 Busness Feature Convergence bds shall nclude the followng logcal data elements: 1. An ndcator that dentfes them as convergence bd (SIBR should not requre market partcpants to explctly ndcate a physcal.); 2. A pnode or Apnode ID that ndcates the bddng locaton; 3. An ndcator that dentfes whether t s a supply or demand; 4. SC ID that represents the current bd; 5. Energy bd curve 6.

Elgble locatons and lmts nclude: An ndvdual prcng node or aggregated generaton node that s connected to a physcal resource (ncludng te ponts) and ts poston lmt; There wll be no poston lmts appled to default LAPs or tradng hubs Applcaton(s) Impacted SIBR, MF BRQ005 BRQ006 BRQ007 SIBR needs to get the lst of SC IDs mapped to CBs authorzed to partcpate n convergence bddng. These wll be the SC IDs authorzed to submt Convergence Bds. Intally all authorzed SC IDs are elgble to bd n any node provded by MF n BRQ004. However, specal rules wll apply f Suspenson functon s defned usng BRQ010 or BRQ012. For the energy bd curve n a convergence bd, SIBR needs to ensure the followng, An energy bd curve ($/MWh) s structured n the same way as physcal energy bd curve and may have no more than 10 segments, startng at 0 MW; For a supply curve, t shall be monotoncally ncreasng; For a demand curve, t shall be monotoncally decreasng.

Upon each convergence bd submsson or a batch of bds, SIBR wll send credt management system the followng data and wat for an approval (can have more than one bd due to batch): 1.1 Bd ID 1.2. Trade Day 1.3. Per Trade Hour wth exstence of bd curve, Trade Hour Hghest Bd Segment MW (one value per hour) ; SIBR, Credt Management System 2. Credt management system wll send back the approval status (Y/N) to SIBR to approve or reject the bd. 2 SIBR shall expect the followng reply (can have more than one bd due to batch), 2.1.Bd Id; 2.2. Approval Status (Y/N). 3. If a bd does not pass the credt check, ths bd wll be rejected. 4.Whenever a bd s cancelled by SC or rejected by SIBR (can be for reasons other than credt check), SIBR needs to send Credt Management the followng cancellaton messages (can have more than one bd due to batch), 1.

11 ID# BRQ009 Busness Feature SIBR shall use the general rule to enforce poston lmts: 1. Be able to obtan the MW lmts for each elgble locaton from MF (Pnode/APnode) and ETCC (nterte); Applcaton(s) Impacted SIBR, MF, ETCC 2. Provde two confgurable poston lmt percentages: One for nternal nodes/apnodes (default to 5%); One for nter-te ponts (default to 10%); 3. Poston lmts are determned and appled to the CB ndvdually based on the confgurable percentage multpled by the MW lmt for each elgble locaton. If a CB entty maps to multple SC IDs and the SC submt bds on a sngle node, the poston lmt apples to all the sum of those bds on the same node; 4. All poston evaluaton wll be done based on the hghest bd segment MW pont submtted n the energy bd curve. Supply and demand convergence bds are evaluated separately. A bd or a set of bds (for CB mappng to multple SC IDs) wll be rejected f the sum of all hghest bd segment MWs n the bds nvolved s hgher than the poston lmt multpled by the percentage; 5. For nternal nodes, the poston lmt s enforced at bd submsson. Compare the MF defned locaton lmt (MW) multpled by the poston lmt percentage wth the hghest MW segment of the submtted convergence bd (possble usng sum of bds for a CB mappng to multple SC IDs). It s possble that an enforcement of a later submtted bd can cause a prevously approved bd rejected f they are on the same node and for the same CB. 6. For nter-te ponts, the poston lmt s enforced at market closng tme for convergence bds. Compare the OTC from the nter-te constrant multpled by the poston lmt percentage wth the hghest MW segment of the submtted convergence bd (possble usng sum of bds for a CB mappng to multple SC IDs); 7.

Ths functon s expected to be used at a very exceptonal bass. Snce SCs may submt bds up to seven days n advance of market close, t s possble that there wll be convergence bds already approved when the suspenson decson s made. The system needs to be able to re-evaluate all approved bds for the CB SC IDs and Pnodes/Apnodes to reject those prevously approved bds. 3 Once we apply the suspenson, we wll provde FERC wth supportng documentaton wthn 10 days.

15 ID# BRQ013 Busness Feature Snce convergence bds can be submtted per Pnode/APnode for each elgble SC ID, n order to control the volume of bds nto IFM, the followng methodology needs to happen between SIBR and IFM, Step 1: At the market close for convergence bds the DA applcatons develop a "pre-market aggregaton" process to aggregate the bds on each PNode/APnode to create one aggregate vrtual supply bd and one aggregate vrtual demand bd at each locaton (the aggregate bd can contan many more segments beyond 10); Wth step 1, we wll guarantee the number of aggregated convergence bds to be no more than about 3500 * 2 (3500 beng roughly the number of Pnodes/APnodes). Step 2: Have MPM/RRD - IFM - RUC run wth the physcal bds and aggregated convergence bds. For the aggregated convergence bds, the applcaton should generate the cleared bd results per Pnode/APnode and supply/demand bd, f any. Step 3: Use a post-ruc process to "de-aggregate" the cleared convergence bd results and allocate them to the correct convergence bddng elgble SC ID. Step 4: Publsh day-ahead market results, ncludng convergence bd results. Ths step needs to antcpate the potental for dfferent clearng tme and publcaton tme for physcal versus convergence bds. Applcaton(s) Impacted SIBR, IFM For aggregaton of bds, follow the standard of stackng up bd segments when prces are dfferent whle addng MWs f prces are the same; For de-aggregaton of bd results, for a non-margnal segment, t s straght forward to assgn the ndvdual cleared MW. For a non-margnal segment, the relevant cleared amount can be assocated wth multple bd segments and hence a proratng s needed to get the ndvdual cleared MW amount. Prorate the awarded MWs proportonal to the submtted MWs of the margnal segment of each convergence bddng elgble SC ID contrbutng to the margnal aggregate segment. Path to fle: Page 15 of 58

16 ID# BRQ015 Busness Feature Convergence Bds shall be excluded from the day-ahead MPM/RRD process. MPM/RRD contnues to use physcal supply bds and load forecast. Therefore there s no change n DA RMR determnaton process. Applcaton(s) Impacted IFM, RUC BRQ016 BRQ017 Convergence Bds that are cleared n the Integrated Forward Market shall not be transferred to RUC. In order to make sure IFM physcal nter-te schedules complyng wth NERC/WECC rules whle allowng shadow/congeston prces beng mpacted by convergence bds, the followng constrants need to be used n the IFM run, Exstng Constrant [1] The Physcal Constrant enforced n schedulng run ONLY: Schedulng lmt s contnung to be observed usng the formula Per ITC and Drecton, OTC (net physcal energy) max(0, (ETC enttlements ETC schedules)) AS mport >= 0 (no AS mport needs to be observed n the export drecton). New Constrant [2] The Physcal + Vrtual Constrant: Enforced n both schedulng run and prcng run. Per ITC and Drecton, OTC (net physcal energy + convergence energy) max(0, (ETC enttlements ETC schedules)) AS mport >= 0 (no AS mport needs to be observed n the export drecton) IFM, RUC IFM, ETCC BRQ018 BRQ019 In ths methodology, physcal schedules cleared from schedulng run need to be fxed n the prcng run. Also ETC schedules and AS mport contnue to be physcal snce we do not allow convergence bds to submt AS product or utlze ETC contracts. Shadow prces and hence congeston prces wll be mpacted by convergence bds. To the extent that convergence bds are allowed at an aggregated level (currently Default LAP or Tradng Hub or aggregated generaton node), they must be dsaggregated by each node for use n the IFM. The same dstrbuton or allocaton factors used n exstng applcaton wll contnue to be used. The current MPM-RRD run wll contnue to use physcal supply and load forecasts and thus does not get mpacted by convergence bddng. Furthermore, the RMR determnaton process wll also stay the same.

18 ID# BRQ024 Busness Feature MF 6 Poston Lmt for nternal PNode/APNodes, Applcaton(s) Impacted MF, SIBR BRQ025 For all nternal load and generaton PNodes and aggregated generaton APNode, MF shall defne the maxmum lmt (one MW value per node) and provde the nternal PNode/APNode defntons along wth ther maxmum lmts to SIBR. These lmts need to be communcated to market partcpants as well. There are three scenaros to determne the lmts. For nodes assocated wth generators, the maxmum lmts for the PNode could be ted drectly to the capacty of that generator. For example, f PNode X s the njecton pont for a generator wth a PMax of 100 MWs, the maxmum MW lmt at PNode X would be 100 MWs. For nodes assocated wth demand, a frm MW amount could be determned by the maxmum MW amount that flows over that node over a perod of tme, or by the MWh volume of the peak wthdrawal at each node. (Maxmum Constrant MW). For PNodes or APNodes that both nject and wthdraw power, the larger of the maxmum demand and the maxmum capacty MW value could provde the bass for the applcaton of poston lmts for the applcable PNode or APNode. In desgn phase, further detal s needed to determne the maxmum MW lmt for dfferent nodes.

A value of zero net cleared vrtual quanttes at a gven node wll ndcate ether (1) no vrtual bds submtted at that node, or (2) vrtual supply and demand netted to zero. For example, f one or more Vrtual Demand Bds were submtted at Pnode X n HE10 that total 30 MW, and one or more Vrtual Supply Bds were submtted at Pnode X n HE10 that total 75 MW, the net cleared vrtual quantty at Pnode 1234 at HE10 would be 75 MW Supply less 30 MW Demand = 45 MW Net Vrtual Supply Busness Requrements for Nodal Data Release Busness Requrements for Nodal Data Release Manage Market Results Postng for Convergence Bds: ID# Busness Feature Applcatons(s) affected BRQ062 The NET cleared MW of vrtual bds wll be calculated for every CB PNodes/Apnodes per trade hour wthn the trade day, IFM Path to fle: Page 30 of 58
