Common use of Operating Practices Clause in Contracts

Operating Practices. a. Bonneville shall replace Dispatcher Standing Order No. 216 with a reliability tool that applies to all non-Federal non-controlling generation—both dispatchable and variable energy resources— in Bonneville’s Balancing Authority Area, except the schedule curtailment protocol will not apply to behind-the-meter generation. Bonneville will design the new reliability tool to attempt to equitably allocate curtailments among all resources that are subject to the reliability tool. Bonneville shall use reasonable efforts to provide a mechanism for multiple resources to combine their Station Control Error to take advantage of diversity benefits during balancing reserve capacity-related events. Bonneville shall not apply its automated balancing reserve capacity-related generation limitation protocol to dispatchable energy resources. b. Bonneville shall research potential impacts that Federal dispatchable resources have on Bonneville’s Balancing Authority Area net Station Control Error during inc reliability events and provide results to customers in spring 2015. Any material impacts discovered will be mitigated through changes in internal Bonneville business practices or modifications to implementation of balancing reserve capacity-related schedule curtailments of dispatchable and variable energy resources. c. Bonneville shall conduct a stakeholder process through the Joint Operating Committee or other public forum to discuss Bonneville’s proposed reliability tool and provide an opportunity for customers to comment on the reliability tool.
