NPRR 219 & SCR 783 Outage Scheduler Enhancement Project Leo Castillo Project Manager Operations Working Group March 2016
Introduction The purpose of the PR174-01 2015 Outage Scheduler Enhancements Project is to combine the release of the NPRR 219 requirements and the SCR 783 Enhancements into one project. NPRR 219 was implemented in 2010 due to an issue with the initial Nodal Outage Scheduler program which did not allow QSEs to submit outages on Transmission Facilities which they operated. This NPRR was created as a temporary stop-gap with ERCOT or a designated TSP submitting a QSEs Transmission Facility Outage Requests on their behalf. In early 2014, workshops to enhance the Outage Scheduler were held with interested Market Participants. SCR 783 (approved by the ERCOT Board of Directors in February 2015) was the result of the Workshops. 2 PUBLIC
