i During daily operations, the DSP may establish that the system is approaching operable limits and that it needs to perform either utility operations or call DERs to participate and provide services. These limits can reflect thermal rating or voltage limits, operating reserves and other adverse operating conditions. Measuring the DSP's response to these events would be an analog performance metric to what NYISO is currently subject to. See: "Operations Performance Metrics Monthly Report", NYISO, p. 3; "http://www.nyiso.com/public/webdocs/ markets_operations/committees/mc/meeting_materials/2015-01-28/Agenda%2003_Operations_Report.pdf The source of the above table is the document NY REV: Recommendations for Non- Consensus Topics dated June 8th, 2015 to the Market Design Platform Technology Core Team and NY DPS Staff, from parties including Pace, Solar City, SunPower, Energy Spectrum, NRG and Direct Energy Attributes of "High Value Sites" for Community Energy Development 47 Short Term # of New DERs and Participating Customers DSP Load and DER Forecasting Error within Limits Interconnection (PTO) Timelines within Best Practices # of Monitored DERs Integrated with DSP Operations Annual progress toward meeting GHG reductions and other state policy goals Long Term Transacted Volume of MWh, MVARs, etc. Response to Reliability Alert Events i # of Unique Transactive Mechanisms # of Introduced New Services Annual, cumulative and gap analysis of progress toward meeting GHG reductions and other state policy goals Attribute Advantage Clustering of critical infrascture sites in close proximity Reduced infrastructure costs Existing electric or thermal distribution infrastructure that can be re-utilized Reduced infrastructure costs A consistent and significant need for power (high power baseline) High degree of asset utilization improves economic return (e.g., generators never sit idle) A significant demand for thermal energy (heat, hot water, cooling) that occurs when the power is being generated Combined heat and power, generating energy savings Capacity limitations in the zone or network area of the microgrid Demand (capacity) savings that benefits the macrogrid Requirement for distribution capital expenditures that can be deferred or avoided by this microgrid Distribution utility capital expenditure savings The ability of the microgrid to provide ancillary services (ISO/RTO market) Lowering the capital and operating costs of the transmission system The ability of the microgrid to provide distribution level services (voltage control, feeder loading relief) Lowering the capital and operating costs of the distribution system
