In the event that the Constraint Management Charge rate cap does not apply, explain in detail why MISO should continue using the Constraint Contribution Factor in the denominator of the Constraint Management Charge formula provided in section 40.3.3.a.v to calculate the ‘‘adjusted deviations,’’ pursuant to section 40.3.3.a.iv, and to adjust topology adjustments or transmission de-rates. c. In the event that the Constraint Management Charge rate cap applies, explain in detail why MISO should use the Constraint Management Charge Allocation Factor, rather than the Constraint Contribution Factor, to adjust the applicable hourly economic maximum dispatch amounts in the denominator of the Constraint Management Charge rate. 6. MISO proposes in section 40.3.3.a.v to modify the numerator of the Constraint Management Charge rate by multiplying the aggregate real-time RSG credits in an hour attributable to resources committed in the Reliability Assessment Commitment or LookAhead Commitment processes by ‘‘the Constraint Management Charge Allocation Factor, pursuant to Schedule 46.’’ a. In the event that the Constraint Management Charge rate cap does not apply, explain in detail how MISO’s proposal to begin adjusting the numerator of the rate by the Constraint Management Charge Allocation Factor, while continuing to use the existing Constraint Contribution Factor to calculate adjusted deviations and adjust topology adjustments or transmission de-rates in the denominator of the rate, will affect the applicable Constraint Management Charge rate. For example, will the proposal result in a decrease in Constraint Management Charge rates? b. In the event that the Constraint Management Charge rate cap applies, explain in detail how MISO’s proposal to begin using the Constraint Management Charge Allocation Factor to adjust the numerator and denominator of the rate will affect the applicable Constraint Management Charge rate. Specifically, by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the rate by the same term, does MISO intend those terms to cancel (e.g., so that the Constraint Management Charge rate cap will equal the applicable Economic Maximum Dispatch amounts)? Break (12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.) Session 3: Day-Ahead Schedule Deviation and Headroom Charge (1:00 p.m.–2:45 p.m.) 7. MISO states that load zones with net injections ‘‘impact the management of congestion and may also result in a Post-Notification Deadline deviation in the Day-Ahead Schedule Deviation Charge rate formula.’’ 3 Explain in detail how load zones with net injections cause the incurrence of real-time RSG costs, including any costs associated with Headroom Need. 8. Explain why MISO proposes in section 40.3.3.a.viii(6) to use ‘‘any positive difference’’ between a load zone’s actual energy withdrawal or injection adjusted by any associated demand response injections and its demand forecast in effect at the notification deadline when determining Day-Ahead Schedule Deviation and Headroom Charges. Contrast this with MISO’s use, pursuant to section 40.3.3.a.iii(4), of ‘‘any difference’’ between a load zone’s demand forecast in effect at the notification deadline and its actual energy withdrawal or injection adjusted by any associated demand response injections when determining Constraint Management Charges. 9. Explain in detail the determination of Day-Ahead Schedule Deviation and Headroom Charges if the sum of the Market-Wide Net Deviations and Headroom Need is (1) less than or equal to zero, (2) greater than or equal to the Economic Committed Capacity, or (3) greater than zero but less than the Economic Committed Capacity. Explain how this calculation accounts for situations where the Market-Wide Net Deviations are negative but the Headroom Need is positive, such that their sum is greater than zero. 10. MISO maintains that deviations that cause the commitment of additional resources are ‘‘the most relevant’’ causes of real-time RSG costs and that ‘‘the operative fact is the commitment of additional Resources in [sic] R[eliability] A[ssessment] C[ommitment], not the pricing circumstances of the market into which those Resources will be committed.’’ 4 a. Describe the extent to which supply-increasing deviations that occur after the notification deadline affect the incurrence of real-time RSG costs, such as by reducing costs by augmenting available capacity and increasing costs by reducing real-time prices. b.
