21 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Utilize market resource dispatch to control loading May or may not be accompanied by a TLR SPP is also utilizing auto-activation for identified constraints Reconfiguration Operating Guides Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) Market-to-Market (M2M) 21

22 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Reconfiguration Operating Guides May be used in conjunction with CME when appropriate conditions exist: IDC curtailable transactions NNL impacts External impacts SPP also receives notifications when another RC issues a TLR that impacts transactions sinking in BAs under SPP RC purview Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) Market-to-Market (M2M) 22

23 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Reconfiguration Operating Guides Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) In certain instances, reconfiguration of the transmission system may result in decreased loading of constrained facilities These options are studied by operations planning and real-time engineers* * SPP staffs two 24x7 engineers for real-time operations support Market-to-Market (M2M) 23

24 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Reconfiguration Operating Guides Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) Sometimes, local area problems warrant actions outside of the Interconnection-wide relief procedures SPP helps to facilitate appropriate communication, coordination, and actions needed between affected entities Market-to-Market (M2M) 24

25 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Reconfiguration Operating Guides Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) Market-to-Market (M2M) Situations may arise where congestion is highly impacted by the output of non-dispatchable generation Operating instructions to maintain output at a certain level may be necessary 25

26 Congestion Management Events (CME) Transmission Loading Relief (TLR) Reconfiguration Operating Guides Out-of-Merit Energy (OOME) Market-to-Market (M2M) Only occurs between SPP and MISO Initiated by either SPP or MISO Achieve least cost re-dispatch needed to provide the required physical relief on a flowgate Limited to Reciprocal Coordinated Flowgates (RCF) 26

27 M2M 27

28 Priority Number One: RELIABILITY Safe Operating Mode (SOM) may be initiated if none of the above options result in satisfactory flow control or do not address other reliability concerns. 28
