7 Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual The purpose of the Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual is to provide Transmission Customers and Market Participants (TC/MP) information on the business rules that are to be followed when scheduling with the SPP Balancing Authority and the Integrated Marketplace. Additionally, this document will allow the TC/MP the information necessary to assist them in determining if there are system changes related to Scheduling that they must make within their own companies. This document is a reference manual only and is not an official SPP Governing Document. 1.2 Related/Referenced Documents SPP Balancing Authority Operations Manual SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff Business Practices SPP Criteria Integrated Marketplace Protocols SPP Open Access Transmission Tariff Transmission Service Reference Manual NOTE: For Real-Time Scheduling Questions contact the Tariff/Interchange Desk at (501) Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 6

8 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling 2.1 Interchange Scheduling 2 Scheduling Overview Interchange is Energy transfers that cross Balancing Authority boundaries. An Interchange Transaction is an agreement to transfer Energy from a seller to a buyer that crosses one or more Balancing Authority Area boundaries. Interchange Scheduling in the Integrated Marketplace includes tagged Energy transactions that cross into, out of and through the SPP Balancing Authority Area. The SPP Integrated Marketplace boundary is the same footprint as the SPP BAA. Interchange Scheduling does not include tagging or scheduling transactions internal to the SPP Balancing Authority. These types of transactions are usually associated with Grandfathered Transmission Service and bilateral agreements between SPP members or internal to SPP members. SPP has included a process within the Market Settlement to manage these types of transactions through the use of Bilateral Settlement Schedules. Market Participants may optionally use Bilateral Settlement Schedules to account for the impact of these internal transactions on Integrated Marketplace settlement. Tags are not allowed for transactions within the Integrated Marketplace. 2.2 Interchange Authority (IA) The Interchange Authority is the responsible entity that authorizes implementation of valid and balanced Interchange Schedules between Balancing Authority Areas and ensures communication of Interchange Information for Reliability assessment purpose. SPP is registered with NERC to perform these IA functions for the SPP Reliability Coordination Region. NERC allows registered IAs to have a third party service provide these services and SPP has contracted with a registered Tagging Authority for use of its systems. These systems perform the duties as described in the Interchange (INT) standards. SPP receives a monthly report from its contracted Tagging Authority for evidence of these requirements, which SPP then evaluates. SPP will investigate any failures to any of the designated requirements listed in the report. Investigations will be documented, and if deemed necessary, reported to NERC. Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 7

9 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling Scheduling Systems Most scheduling tools used by SPP fall within the responsibility of the Interchange Authority function. The following is a list of the electronic tools that SPP uses to accomplish Interchange Scheduling Processing: NAESB Electronic Interchange Registry (EIR) discussed in section 3 - Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling Open Access Same Time Information System (OASIS) discussed in section 4 - Transmission Service for Interchange Scheduling Ramp Reservation System (RRS) discussed in section 5 - Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling Electronic Tagging (e-tag) discussed in section 6 - Tagging Interchange Transactions Electronic Scheduling System (webtrans) discussed in section 7 Scheduling Interchange Transactions 2.3 Balancing Authority (BA) SPP is the sole registered Balancing Authority (BA) for the SPP Integrated Marketplace footprint. As such, SPP acts as a Balancing Authority for confirmation and verification, approval or denial of all Interchange Schedules entering and/or leaving the SPP Balancing Authority Area (BAA). SWPP is the GCA and/or LCA and Scheduling Entity (SE) for all Interchange Schedules entering and/or leaving the SPP BAA as appropriate. As such, SPP has specific roles and responsibilities for NERC checkout processes that are associated with these entities. NOTE: See Appendix B: Tagging Examples, for examples of properly completed Tag Physical Path section of e-tags. These allow for proper checkout with the appropriate entities. GCA and LCA require active approvals prior to implementation of a tag. See section 7.4 Validation of Tags for SPP Balancing Authority. 2.4 Transmission Service Provider (TP) SPP is the Transmission Service Provider under the SPP OATT. SPP is registered with the acronym SWPP for TP. When SWPP Transmission Service is used, SPP Operators act as a TP for confirmation and verification, approval, or denial of all Interchange Schedules entering and/or leaving the SPP Balancing Authority Area. Beginning for Operating Day October 1, 2015, SWPP will also be the TP/TSP for the WAUW Balancing Authority located in WECC. Since, WAUW will continue to be a Balancing Authority SWPP will not be the Interchange Authority or Scheduling party for WAUW only transactions. SWPP will only act on e-tags as the Transmission Provider. WAUW will continue to perform all Interchange and scheduling responsibilities. TP requires active approval prior to implementation of a tag. See section 7.3 Validation of Tags for SPP Tariff. Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 8

10 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling 2.5 Purchase and Selling Entity (PSE) The Purchasing and Selling Entity (PSE) has various roles in the tagging of schedules for use in the Integrated Marketplace for SPP. The PSE that creates the tag is the Creating Purchase and Selling Entity (CPSE) and may or may not be the same PSE that used as the Transmission Customer that settles with SPP for the Marketplace transaction. The example below shows a PSE that is also the SPP Transmission Customer. Transmission Customers are discussed in section 3 - Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling. PSE as a Transmission Customer on Tag highlighted in YELLOW Tag Physical Path EXAMPLE: EXPORT Source AECC01 AECC.FULTON GCA/LCA TP PSE POR POD S/E SWPP SWPP AECC01 CSWS EES SWPP EES ENTEMO CSWS EES MISO MISO Sink ENTEMO ENTEMO 2.6 Process Overview for Interchange Scheduling SPP follows NAESB requirements for Interchange Scheduling in the Integrated Marketplace. The general overall process for Scheduling is as follows: 1. Registration with NAESB and SPP for ability to create Transmission Service reservations, create tags, and participate in the SPP Integrated Marketplace discussed in section 3 - Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling 2. Completed and confirmed Transmission Service must be available for ultimate tagging of the schedule discussed in section 4 - Transmission Service for Interchange Scheduling as well as the Transmission Service Reference Manual 3. Completed and approved Ramp Reservation (Optional) discussed in section 5 - Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling 4. Completed e-tag All Interchange Transactions entering and/or leaving the SPP BAA must be electronically tagged, except in emergencies - discussed in section 6 - Tagging Interchange Transactions 5. Verified and Approved e-tags discussed in section 7.5 Validation of Tags for Integrated Marketplace 6. Communicate implemented Interchange Schedule to Interchange Authority 7. Schedule Data to various SPP systems Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 9

11 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling General Process for Interchange Scheduling in SPP 2.7 SPP Balancing Authority Area and Neighboring Balancing Authorities For Interchange Scheduling, it is helpful to know the SPP BAA boundaries. SPP operates in the Eastern Interconnection. SPP is bounded by the following first tier Eastern Interconnection Balancing Authorities. All Energy scheduled between SPP and other Eastern Interconnection BAs must interface through the first tier BAs listed below. The Eastern Interconnection first tier neighboring BA are: Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AECI) Southwest Power Administration (SPA) Midwest Independent Service Organization (MISO) for (AMRN, CLEC, EES and MEC) SPP is located on the Western edge of the Eastern Interconnection and is the major scheduling connection for Energy scheduled to and from the Western Interconnection (WECC) and the ERCOT Interconnection. All scheduling with the WECC and ERCOT must be accomplished via HVDC tie scheduling. See section 6.7 HVDC Ties. The HVDC ties for between WECC and SPP are: Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 10

13 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling 3. 3 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling In order for a Transmission Customer to obtain Transmission Service and create Interchange Transactions that enter and/or leave the SPP BAA for use in the Integrated Marketplace, the customer must have completed Market Registration through the SPP Customer Relations process. REFERENCE: Transmission Service Reference Manual These customers must also have completed registry with the NAESB in order to tag transactions using Electronic Tagging systems. Customers must allow time for the registration approval and system integration process prior to commencing Interchange Scheduling transactions. 3.1 NAESB Electric Industry Registry (EIR) The EIR is set up for Balancing Authorities to have approval rights for all transaction entities that plan to schedule with their BA. All PSE, TOP, GOP, Sources, Sinks, etc. must be registered and approved by the SPP BA prior to commencing Interchange Scheduling. Purchasing Selling Entities (SPP Market Participants) must register their OASIS entity code and tagging code with EIR in order to purchase transmission and create tags in the SPP BA and Integrated Marketplace. The OASIS entity code is shown as the Company Name on the Transmission Service reservation. The Tagging code is shown on the tag in various locations. One of the major components on a tag for market settlements is the Transmission Customer associated with SPP Transmission Service. The Creating Purchasing Selling Entity (CPSE) is the entity that created the e-tag and the Transmission Customer is the PSE (not necessarily the same as the CPSE) entity shown as the owner of the SPP transmission under the transmission allocation section of the tag SPP Market Registration SPP Transmission Customers who intend to transact business with the SPP BA and Integrated Marketplace must register through the SPP Customer Relations Market Registration process. Through the SPP Market Portal, Market Participants (MPs) may access the applications that enable submission of Resource Offers, Demand Bids, and Virtual Bids and Offers into the Energy and Operating Reserve Markets. REFERENCE: Market Protocols section 6.1 Registration of Resources 3.2 Commercial Model Changes Whenever a Market Participant registers assets (resources, loads, etc.,) the SPP Commercial Model must be updated. SPP periodically uploads the model data up to one week prior to the effective date. The new data is available for use on the date that the new model is effective. An Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 12

14 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling Asset Owner would not be allowed to tag against the newly updated data (e.g. resources or loads) for a transaction that flows before the effective date. When data is removed from the Commercial Model, it is deactivated the day before the Commercial Model change. This may take up to seven days to take effect. The Commercial Model determines the financial Market relationships for Market Participants and Asset Owners. Transmission Customers (PSE) are mapped to these entities in the Commercial Model. The Commercial Model describes how these financial entities relate to specific nodes. REFERENCE: Market Protocols section Commercial Model Settlement Locations Sources and Sinks on e-tags are mapped to Settlement Locations. These Settlement Locations determine the Transmission Congestion pricing mechanisms. Settlement of all Energy related to schedules into, out of and through the SPP BA is performed as part of the Integrated Marketplace settlement at External Interface Settlement Locations. These External Interface Settlement Locations are pre-determined through off-line analysis and may consist of one or more Pnodes (which are linked to Nodes in the Network Model) In the following example of a Through Transaction, the Interface Settlement Locations for this tagged transaction and the entry of the Energy into the Marketplace through MISO is settled as an injection at the MISO External Interface Settlement Location and by the exit of the Energy out of the Marketplace through ERCO is settled as a withdrawal at the ERCOT N External Interface Settlement Location. The interfaces are shown in yellow. In this situation, since the tag is a Through Transaction, the system uses a combination of the Source PSE/Source data field identification of the interface in and a combination of the Sink PSE/Sink data field for identification of the interface out. REFERENCE: Refer to section for more information about Through Transactions.

15 Registration for SPP Interchange Scheduling Asset Owners/Market Participant The SPP Integrated Marketplace uses a Translation Table to map the entities from the tag to the appropriate entities in the SPP Commercial Model. Purchasing and Selling Entity The Purchase and Selling Entity is the NAESB registered (NAESB EIR) name used on the tag to represent company ownership. All PSE s are mapped to a TC, which are mapped to an AO, and are then mapped to an MP in the Marketplace. For example, if a PSE is not registered as an SPP TC, then the tag will be rejected. Also, it is possible that the Creating PSE is different than the PSE used as the TC on the tag. Transmission Customer (TC) The PSE that is shown on the first leg of the SWPP Transmission Service on a tag. The Transmission Customer is mapped to the appropriate Asset Owner. Asset Owner (AO) An owner of any combination of: (1) registered physical assets (2) Transmission Congestion Rights or (3) any combination of financial assets within the SPP Balancing Authority Area. The Asset Owner is mapped to the appropriate Market Participant. Market Participant (MP) the entity in the Commercial Model that is financially obligated to SPP for market settlements. A single MP represents one or more Asset Owners. PSE is mapped to a TC is mapped to a AO is mapped to a MP The Tag Physical Path example below highlights the PSE field in which the Transmission Customer for the TSR should have been identified on this transaction. In this case, SEPCPM (identified from the original Transmission Service Reservation) would be mapped to the appropriate Asset Owner and Market Participant for this Interchange Schedule. It is important to note that if another PSE other than the actual Transmission Customer Owner of the TSR is shown in this field on the e-tag, it will have no effect on the TC mapping or on settlements.

17 Transmission Service for Interchange Scheduling 4 Transmission Service for Interchange Scheduling As outlined in the Transmission Service Reference Manual, Customers use OASIS to request Transmission Service. Transmission Service Requests (TSRs) must be validated, accepted, and confirmed prior to submitting an e-tag to schedule the Service. Helpful information about procuring confirmed Transmission Service is outlined in the Transmission Service Reference Manual. SPP has specific rules for acquisition of TSRs. These business rules are described in the SPP OATT. Clarification and details for these rules are described in the SPP Business Practices. REFERENCES: Transmission Service Reference Manual, SPP OATT, SPP Business Practices This section overviews changes, relating to Interchange Scheduling with the SPP BA and settlement thereof, as a result of the implementation of the Integrated Marketplace. 4.1 Transmission Losses for Interchange Transactions: No physical Transmission Losses are allowed to be self-supplied on Interchange Transaction using SWPP Transmission Service in the SPP Integrated Marketplace. All losses are settled financially in the Integrated Marketplace. 4.2 Combining Transmission Service on Interchange Transactions SPP allows Transmission Customers to combine certain types of Transmission Service reservations when tagging Interchange Transactions. The Business Rules for combing Transmission Service are documented in the SPP Business Practices and the Transmission Service Reference Manual. REFERENCE: Business Practice # 2350 Combining SPP Transmission Service Requests NOTE: Business Practices have been updated for Integrated Marketplace as needed to comply with the newly filed SPP Tariff. 4.3 Market Import Service (MIS) To prevent hoarding, Market Import Service (MIS) will be recalled if not scheduled within 2 hours after queued for Day-Ahead or 30 minutes after queued for Real-Time. The LCA on the tag must be SWPP. REFERENCE: Refer to the Transmission Service Reference Manual for more information about MIS. Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 16

18 Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling 5 Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling The SPP BA is required by NERC to evaluate all Interchange tags to ensure adequate Ramp Capability is available prior to approval. SPP has developed a Ramp Reservation System (RRS) to allow TCs to view the ramp that is available within the SPP BAA at any given time and to reserve the ramp needed for their transactions prior to tagging the transaction. All submissions of tagged Interchange Transactions into or out of the SPP BA will be evaluated against available Ramp Capability prior to approval by SPP. Ramp availability may be verified and pre-arranged by TCs (as mapped to AOs) ahead of submission of an e-tag through the RRS. Subsequent submission of a tag in which scheduled interchange is supported by an approved Ramp Reservation will be automatically approved with respect to Ramp Capability. NOTE: If an approved e-tag is adjusted, the adjusted e-tag will be re-validated for Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down for the adjusted time period, and may fail ramp validation. Use of the RRS is voluntary. Tagged transactions submitted without a Ramp Reservation or those that exceed the ramp reserved by the AO will be checked for remaining Ramp Capability and approved if available. Otherwise, the e-tag will be limited to the reserved ramp or will be denied if ramp was not reserved and there is no available ramp. Ramp validation is only applicable to scheduled Interchange that impacts SPP NSI (i.e. imports or exports of Energy to/from the SPP BA). Ramp validation is not performed on tagged transactions wheeling through the SPP BA. 5.1 Ramp Capability SPP Operations Engineering determines the available Ramp Capability within the SPP BAA based on current operating conditions and generation availability within the Integrated Marketplace. Ramp Capability is the maximum sustainable Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down capability expressed in MWs per minute. 5.2 Ramp Reservation Business Rules Every e-tag that is submitted by the CPSE where the Generating Control Area (GCA) or Load Control Area (LCA) is specified as SWPP will be validated for available Ramp Capability. Tags wheeling through the SPP BA where neither GCA nor LCA are SWPP will not be validated for ramp. The Energy MW profile on a tag physical path segment listing SWPP as the Scheduling Entity (SE) will be used to validate Ramp Capability. In the case of pancaked or stacked transactions, the Energy MW profile at the first (for imports) or last (for exports) tag physical path segment listing SWPP as the Scheduling Entity (SE) will be used to validate Ramp Capability. If no explicit start/stop ramp duration information is supplied in the e-tag, the Eastern Interconnection default ramp duration of 10 minutes will be used for this validation. The only Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 17

19 Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling acceptable ramp durations are 10 minutes for the Eastern Interconnection, or 20 minutes for tags entering or leaving the Western Interconnection. In the event that the start/stop ramp durations specified in the e-tag overlap such that there is insufficient time to reach the block accounting scheduled Energy MWs specified, the e-tag will be denied by SPP (e.g. a schedule profile segment with start/stop duration of 15 minutes specified with a 20 minute start/stop ramp duration). 5.3 Ramp Reservation Validation The Integrated Marketplace Ramp Validation will first determine the Ramp-Up or Ramp-Down Capability required, in MWs/minute, at each schedule breakpoint based on the change in the proposed scheduled interchange Energy MWs divided by the ramp duration: Import tags: Ramp-Up is validated for import ramp availability; Ramp-Down is validated for export ramp availability. Export tags: Ramp-Up is validated for export ramp availability; Ramp-Down is validated for import ramp availability. Ramp Reservation requests will be approved immediately upon submission subject to the verification of available Ramp-Up or Ramp-Down Capability; after accounting for all other approved Ramp Reservations and approved or pending e-tags. The available Ramp Capability in either direction will be offset by simultaneous reserved or tagged ramp commitments made in the opposite direction in accordance with netting rules established by the SPP Integrated Marketplace. NOTE: Refer to section 5.5 e-tag Ramp Validation for information on how webtrans validates e-tags for ramp availability. 5.4 Ramp Reservation Deadlines Reserved ramp that has not been tagged will be released for the entire Operating Day (OD) immediately after the Day-Ahead (DA) Market closing time. Real-Time (RT) reserved ramp that has not been tagged will be released for the entire duration of the Ramp Reservation at 30 minutes prior to the reserved ramp start time. Tags submitted by the TC subsequent to the release of any reserved ramp will be validated against the remaining available Ramp Capability in the order submitted. If a TC/Market Participant (MP) does not submit a specific Ramp Reservation, the system will evaluate the submitted e-tag against the available capability. 5.5 e-tag Ramp Validation The Integrated Marketplace Ramp Validation will first determine the Ramp-Up or Ramp-Down Capability required, in MWs/minute, at each schedule breakpoint based on the change in the proposed scheduled interchange Energy MWs divided by the ramp duration: Import tags: Ramp-Up is validated for import ramp availability; Ramp-Down is validated for export ramp availability. Export tags: Ramp-Up is validated for export ramp availability; Ramp-Down is validated for import ramp availability. Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 18

20 Ramp Reservation for Interchange Scheduling The Ramp Validation will then determine if there are any unscheduled ramp commitments held by the CPSE under one or more Ramp Reservations matching the ramp start/stop times specified in the e-tag at each schedule breakpoint. If so, the unscheduled ramp commitments held on those Ramp Reservations will be allocated first to support the proposed e-tag schedule. Any additional Ramp Capability required beyond that supported by one or more Ramp Reservations, or the entire Ramp Capability required by the proposed scheduled interchange in the case where the CPSE does not have any supporting Ramp Reservation(s), will be validated against the remaining Ramp-Up or Ramp-Down Capability available. If there is sufficient Ramp Capability available to support the e-tag transaction, ramp commitments will be allocated to support the proposed scheduled interchange and the e-tag will be approved, subject to passing all other e-tag validations, by SPP. That is, an implied ramp reservation will be committed to support the e-tag from the remaining SPP Ramp Capability for the ramp required in excess of any pre-arranged ramp reservation(s) held by the CPSE on a first-come-first-served basis. If the proposed e-tag schedule would violate SPP Ramp Capability at any point in time, the e-tag will be denied by SPP. The Ramp Validation will respect the netting of simultaneous Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down commitments according to SPP rules for such netting. 5.6 Ramp Reservation System (RRS) The RRS is part of the OATI webtrans. MPs or authorized AOs may gain secured login access to webtrans and the RRS with an authorized Username and Password in addition to an OATI x.509 electronic certificate issued by the OATI webcares system. webtrans is available over the Internet.

26 Tagging Interchange Transactions 6 Tagging Interchange Transactions 6.1 Electronic Tagging (e-tag) e-tagging is a process of electronically communicating a request for, securing approval of, and recording an Energy transaction. The functionality of the e-tag is used to track proof of Energy delivery as required by one or more regulatory bodies within the Eastern Interconnection. It is the responsibility of the CPSE to fill out and submit the e-tags. e-tags that do not comply with the following criteria are considered to be invalid and will be rejected. e-tags must: comply with the Market Protocols regarding selection of market types and transaction types have an existing confirmed SWPP transmission reservation fit within the parameters of the transmission reservation be compliant with the procedures specified in the SPP OATT and Business Practices have a unique tag ID 6.2 Tag Transaction Types Tag submissions contain several different attributes associated with the request. These attributes provide detailed information associated with each request. The attributes are 1) Tag Transaction type, 2) Interchange Schedule Type, 3) Market Type and 4) Market Transaction Type. Each Interchange Transaction Schedule has type fields that must be filled in indicating the use of the tag. There are several Tag Transaction Types available through the NERC Electronic Tagging Process: Normal Tag for regular (normal) Energy Dynamic Tag with an estimated mw that is updated modified in real-time to comply with NERC requirements and updated to the telemetered reading or mw value After- The-Fact Emergency Tag during an emergency of the BA can be created After-The-Fact. Loss Supply SPP Integrated Marketplace does not allow physical losses on tags/ schedules. Capacity SPP does not support Interchange Capacity Tags/Schedules. Recallable Tag with a recallable feature (The recallable feature is used for supplemental regulation transactions). Pseudo-tie Tag that allows inter-ba transmission visibility for Pseudo-tie facilities NOTE: SPP does not allow the use of all Tag Transaction Types Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 25

27 Tagging Interchange Transactions 6.3 Interchange Schedule Types The Tag Transaction Types described above result in the following Interchange Schedule types for the SPP BA and Integrated Marketplace: Imports, Exports and Through. NOTE: SPP does not allow the use of all Interchange Schedule Types on tags. Physical paths that are internal to the SPP Integrated Marketplace and SPP BA are not tagged. See Market Protocols for Bilateral Settlement Schedules Import If the Source point is external to the SPP BAA and the Sink point is inside the SPP BA, the Interchange Schedule is an Import Schedule. The GCA and Source for all tags importing into the SPP BAA for settlement in the Integrated Marketplace must be external to the SPP BAA. The following requirements must be met: Confirmed transmission must have been acquired. The Source must match or be electrically equivalent to the Source on the TSR. POR and POD must match the TSR. NOTE: SPP registers members as POR and POD. MIS Transmission Service timing requirements apply. The LCA for all imports into SPP BAA must be SWPP. SWPP is not used in the sink field of an import tag. The sink used must match or be electrically equivalent to the sink on the TSR. REFERENCE: Market Protocols section Import Interchange Transactions Offers NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for an example tag physical path for an Import into SPP BA Export If the Sink point is external to the SPP BAA and the Source point is internal, the Interchange Schedule is an Export Schedule. The LCA and sink for all tags exporting out of the SPP BAA must be an external to the SPP BAA. Confirmed transmission must have been acquired. The GCA for all exports out of the SPP BAA must be SWPP. POR and POD must match the transmission reservation. NOTE: SPP registers members as POR and POD. SWPP is not used in the Source field of an Export tag. REFERENCE: Market Protocols section Export Interchange Transactions Offers NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for an example tag physical path for an Export from SPP BA/Market.

28 Tagging Interchange Transactions Through If the Source point and Sink point are external to the SPP BAA; the Interchange Schedule is a Through Schedule (wheels through the SPP BAA). The LCA, GCA, Source and Sink for all Through Schedules must be external to the SPP BAA. Confirmed transmission must have been acquired. Special rules apply for POR and POD when combining Transmission Service. REFERENCE: Business Practice # 2350 Combining SPP Transmission Service Requests NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for example tag physical paths for Through/Wheels into and out of the SPP BA (for HVDC tie and non-hvdc tie transactions). 6.4 Market Types The market types for Interchange Schedules (for Normal and Dynamic tag types) are Day- Ahead Market and Real-Time Market Day-Ahead Market The Day-Ahead Market provides Market Participants with the ability to submit Bids and Offers for exporting and importing Energy out of and into the SPP BAA. NOTE: If Day Ahead is not explicitly defined in the e-tag, the Market Type defaults to Real- Time. The Market Data section of the e-tag must be filled out in order to explicitly define the intention of bidding or offering into the SPP Day-Ahead Market. Inputs to the Day Ahead process through tagged interchange transactions are: Bids and Offers for Exports and Imports Market Type designation Market Transaction Designation MW profile Outputs to Day Ahead process for tagged Interchange Transactions are cleared Import/Export Transactions which reflect adjusted Interchange Schedules that are not completely cleared Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 27

31 Tagging Interchange Transactions 6.5 Integrated Marketplace Transaction Types There are 3 Marketplace Transaction Types supported for tagged Interchange Transactions. They are 1) Fixed, 2) Dispatchable and 3) Up-to-TUC. Each is discussed below. NOTE: If the Market Transaction type is not explicitly defined in the e-tag, the transaction defaults to Fixed Fixed Interchange Transactions Fixed Interchange Transactions are physical transactions that bring Energy into and/or out of the SPP BAA. Energy prices are settled at the LMP at the applicable External Interface Settlement Location. Submitters of this type of transaction in the Integrated Marketplace are price takers for that Energy. Fixed Interchange Schedules are supported in both the Day-Ahead Market and in the Real- Time Balancing Market. REFERENCE: Market Protocols section An e-tag for a Real-Time Fixed Interchange Schedule must be submitted no later than 20 minutes prior to the start of the schedule. Fixed Interchange Schedules may not be submitted or modified during the operating hour except for reliability purposes as determined by the Transmission Provider. The MP must ensure the transaction meets the applicable acknowledgement and transfer deadlines.

32 Tagging Interchange Transactions If the submitter does not want the cleared Day-Ahead Fixed Interchange Schedule to roll into the Real-Time Balancing Market, the MP must zero out the e-tag no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of the schedule or the start of the operating hour. The MP is settled at the Day-Ahead Location Marginal Price (LMP) for the cleared MW amount and charged for any deviation in the Real-Time Balancing Market at real-time LMPs. NOTE: All Fixed Interchange Schedules Energy prices are settled at the LMP at the applicable External Interface Settlement Location Dispatchable Interchange Schedules Dispatchable Interchange Schedules are physical transactions that bring Energy into and/or out of the SPP BAA and specify a Bid or Offer (MWh). These schedules are supported in the Day-Ahead Market only and also must meet all market requirements. LMPs are determined in the Day-Ahead Market at the appropriate External Interface Settlement Location representing the interface between the SPP BA and the applicable External BA. A Dispatchable Offer specifies both a MW amount and a minimum price that the customer must pay if the transaction clears the Day-Ahead Market. See the example below for input to the Tag Market info section. REFERENCE: SPP Market Protocols section (3) (b) Import Interchange Transaction Offers The following business rules apply to Dispatchable Interchange Schedules: Dispatchable Interchange Schedules must adhere to the Day-Ahead Market timing deadlines. If the Dispatchable Interchange Schedule is cleared in the Day-Ahead Market, it rolls into the Real-Time Balancing Market and is treated as a Fixed Interchange Schedule at the MW level that was determined in the Day-Ahead Market. All Dispatchable Interchange Schedules, both Import Schedules and Export Schedules, are settled at LMPs determined in the Day-Ahead Market at the appropriate External Interface Settlement Location representing the interface between the SPP BA and the applicable external BA. Dispatchable Interchange Schedules cannot be used for Through Interchange Schedules. MPs may use the Market Import Service (MIS) product for Dispatchable Normal Interchange Schedules that are imports. Dispatchable pricing Offers can be a minimum of $-1000 and a maximum of $1000. Only one price and MW pair per hour is allowed. Partial hour pricing is not permitted. Interchange Scheduling Reference Manual 31
