Resource Integration Small Generation Topics Small Gen process and New AVR Testing Template Zach Reich, P.E. ERCOT Resource Integration Working Group June 28, 2022
Topics: Small Generation Small Gen Timelines, Process and Flows New AVR Testing Template 2
New Process for Small Generators TDSP Work Prior to RIOO Submittal (8 to 10 Months Timeline for Projects After the DGR Moratorium) 5/19/2022 Part 1 Approval 1/14/2022 Review required Submissions 1/31/2022 Registration RARF Approval 10/3/2021 Optional Small Gen Review Meeting 1/18/2022 Review RARF 5/31/2022 Part 2 Approval 1/4/2022 5/4/2022 PLD* 7/31/2022 Part 3 Approval Submit INR in RIOO 10/1/2021 8/1/2022 5/4/2022 - 7/31/2022 2/1/2022 - 5/1/2022 10/1/2021 - 1/1/2022 Commissioning Checklists & Testing Days RARF Submission (Prior to PLD) IE/RE Work with TDSP (IA, System Impact Studies, Interconnection Requirements, Operational Limitations, ETC) *Interim updates are not allowed for new units. Interim update requests must be approved by ERCOT Network Modeling. Construction time for TSP/DSP to construct needed facilities not shown. Start of construction dependent on RE giving TSP Notice to Proceed and providing the Funding to construct the interconnection facilities. Length of time needed for construction depends on facilities being constructed. The PLD shown above is normally after completion of construction. RE should have all TSP/DSP studies and IA complete before requesting the scoping meeting. 4
New Process for Small Generators RIOO Submittal Prior to TDSP Work (8 to 10 Months Timeline for Projects after DGR Moratorium) 8/27/2022 Part 1 Approval 4/30/2022 Registration RARF Approval 4/1/2022 1/9/2022 Optional Small Gen Review Meeting Submit required Submissions 4/14/2022 Review required Submissions 9/5/2022 Part 2 Approval 1/4/2022 8/3/2022 PLD* 4/18/2022 Review RARF Submit INR in RIOO 10/31/2022 Part 3 Approval 1/4/2022 11/1/2022 1/4/2022 - 4/1/2022 8/3/2022 - 11/1/2022 5/1/2022 - 8/1/2022 IE/RE Work with TDSP Commissioning Checklists & Testing Days RARF Submission (Prior to PLD) IE/RE Work with TDSP (IA, System Impact Studies, Interconnection Requirements, Operational Limitations, ETC) This is the preferred method of submission *Interim updates are not allowed for new units. Interim update requests must be approved by ERCOT Network Modeling. Construction time for TSP/DSP to construct needed facilities not shown. Start of construction dependent on RE giving TSP Notice to Proceed and providing the Funding to construct the interconnection facilities. Length of time needed for construction depends on facilities being constructed. The PLD shown above is normally after completion of construction. RE should have all TSP/DSP studies and IA complete before requesting the scoping meeting. 5
New AVR Test Template: Exact 2 8 character Station Code Exact 2 8 character Code for all devices Local or Central Standard Time Conventional and C.C. Generation need to fill this out
Voltage Setpoint for AVR Voltage Control test For DGR ESR/BESS and ALL IRRs and IBRs Coordinate test with ERCOT and TDSP Report data in 4 second intervals or smaller Exceptions to 3% step requirement: If a 3% step will cause the voltage to exceed 1.05 p.u. or drop below 0.95 p.u. The TDSP has placed additional restrictions on the voltage setpoint Don t violate any DSP or TSP restrictions Acceptance Criteria is on a case by bases based on agreements between the RE and TDSP Allow voltage to settle Return to original 3% step up setpoint kV Return to original 3% step down setpoint Allow voltage to settle t
DGR / DESR Timelines and Process Flows: New template will cross check RE data with PI data Location of the new AVR Test Template: https://www.ercot.com/services/rq/integration
