MISO Supply Surplus
Procedure
RTO-EOP-003-r14
effective date: JUN 01, 2014

Purpose a
This procedure outlines the set of plans to mitigate operating emergencies on the
Transmission System due to supply surplus conditions. Based on the scheduled
interchange, on-line Resources, and transmission security requirements, the MISO
Balancing Authority Area (MBAA) or a sub-area may experience situations during
light load periods when on-line resources would need to operate at Emergency
Minimum levels in order to avoid burdening the interconnected system. These
periods may also require the de-commitment of online resources. Certain
Transmission System constraints may require a specific area or sub-area to
operate at Emergency Minimum levels while the rest of the market operates at
normal levels.
The MISO Reliability Coordinators (RCs), under the direction of the Shift Manager
(SM), are responsible for addressing any abnormal conditions within the MISO
electric system. A Minimum Generation Alert is issued when it becomes apparent,
through the Reliability Assessment Commitment (RAC), the Intra-Day Reliability
Assessment Commitment (IRAC), or Unit Dispatch System (UDS) , that the
minimum generation online will exceed the demand and interchange.
Note:
1. MISO staff has the flexibility to implement the Emergency procedures in a
manner that will ensure overall system reliability.
2. The 2,000 megawatt threshold referred to throughout this procedure was
generated internally by MISO System Operations to provide the operators
an appropriate point to consider initiating RTO-EOP-003.
The MISO Generation Dispatch and Balancing Operator (GDBO), through
scheduled shift rotation, operate in real-time as the MISO Unit Dispatch System
(UDS) Operator and/or Balancing Authority Operator (BAO). The MISO UDS
Operator issues Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) targets and
monitors constraints to ensure generation and load are in balance. The MISO BAO
monitors compliance with Control Performance Standard (CPS) and Disturbance
Control Standard (DCS) requirements and deploys contingency reserves, when
necessary, to respond to real-time reserve sharing events. The MISO UDS
Operator and BAO communicate with operating personnel to respond to real-time
system conditions. The specific job responsibilities for the UDS Operator and BAO
are differentiated in this procedure to clarify operator roles.

Procedure Description c d e f
3.1
Minimum Generation Emergency Alert
If MISO determines that the forecasted load and forecasted scheduled
interchange less regulation reserves in the MISO Footprint is projected to fall
below a margin of approximately 2,000 megawatts (used for MISO footprint
wide alerts only) 1 above the sum of the minimum non-emergency supply of
all MISO-scheduled Resources, MISO will implement a Minimum Generation
Emergency Alert. A Minimum Generation Emergency Alert may also be
issued due to Transmission System security requirements at which time an
Alert is issued specifying the area(s) affected. To the extent MISO deems
appropriate in order to avoid or reduce the cost of a Minimum Generation
Emergency, MISO may coordinate the sale of energy to other BA Areas and
will also request the Market Participants (MPs) to reduce non-firm imports. A
Minimum Generation Emergency also may result in the reduction of supply
through the de-commitment of units with generally short start times in the
appropriate areas.
3.1.1 Responsibilities - MISO Actions:
3.1.1.1 The Forward RAC (FRAC) Operator studies the Next Day Mid-Term Load
Forecast (MTLF) and available generation.
3.1.1.2 The IRAC Operator monitors the MTLF and the available generation
display to anticipate minimum generation problems. The IRAC operator
shall review reservoir levels and availability of pumped storage facilities.

In the event that a Minimum Generation Alert is declared for a sub-area, the forecasted load and generation
for that area would be considered.

3.1.1.3 The IRAC Operator uses updated IRAC case run, weather data, updated
system Load, wind forecast, pumped storage reservoir levels, pumped
storage availability, and system conditions to identify a minimum
generation problem.
3.1.1.4 The Regional Operations Engineer (ROE) and RC review forecasted
constraints with the IRAC Operator and determine whether a minimum
generation declaration is required to alleviate any constraints.
3.1.1.5 In the case where a Minimum Generation Emergency is forecast for a
future time period, the IRAC Operator alerts the SM of the situation.
3.1.1.6 The SM plans with the IRAC Operator and the RC, then communicates a
Minimum Generation Emergency Alert declaration for the MISO Market
Footprint or for a sub-area of the MISO Market Footprint to the appropriate
entities. Refer to Section 3.5 of this procedure on MISO Communications
Protocols. (See Attachment A for sample Alert message.)
3.1.1.7 The Regional Generation Dispatcher (RGD) and BAO work with
Generation Operators (GOPs) and MPs to review unit commitment and
dispatch operations during the surplus period. The RGD, after consulting
with the BAO, shall strongly recommend that GOPs and MPs make
appropriate changes in both their Dispatch Minimum and Emergency
Minimum submittals. The RGD shall strongly recommend the commitment
of pump storage units in pumping mode for the times of the surplus.
3.1.1.8 The RC shall warn that non-firm imports may be cut and firm imports may
be held at the Minimum Generation Event stage. The RC shall relax
export barriers such as ramp and schedule timing to allow for the
maximum export capability and coordinate such capability with
neighboring control areas as applicable.
3.1.1.9 The RGD shall keep the BAO and SM informed as to whether there have
been changes to the GOPs’ and MPs’ Dispatch Minimum and Emergency
Minimum submittals.
3.1.1.10 The BAO shall keep the SM and RC informed of the over-all reserve
position of the MISO BA and the relative reserve position of each reserve
zone.

3.2
Minimum Generation Emergency Warning
If MISO expects that the forecasted Load and expected scheduled
interchange, less regulating reserves, in MISO for future hours will fall below
(used for a MISO footprint wide Warning only)  the sum of the minimum
non-emergency supply, MISO shall implement the Minimum Generation
Emergency Warning on a market-wide basis. A Minimum Generation
Emergency Warning may also be issued due to Transmission System
security requirements, at which time a Warning is issued specifying the
area(s) affected.
3.2.1 Responsibilities - MISO Actions
3.2.1.1 The IRAC Operator uses updated IRAC case run, weather data, updated
system Load, wind forecast, pumped storage reservoir levels, pumped
storage availability, and system conditions to verify a minimum generation
problem, and communicates to the SM as applicable.
3.2.1.2 The RC monitors generation response to Transmission System
constraints and determines whether a minimum generation declaration is
required to alleviate any constraints.
3.2.1.3 In the case where a Minimum Generation Emergency is demonstrated in
the next Hour, the IRAC Operator alerts the SM of the situation.
3.2.1.4 The SM plans with the IRAC Operator and the RC then communicates a
Minimum Generation Emergency Warning declaration for the MISO
Market Footprint or for a sub-area of the MISO Market Footprint to the

increase above their Day Ahead Schedule if increasing these schedules is
expected to impact reliability. The RC or SM shall release this restriction
as reliability allows.
3.3.1.9 The UDS Operator arms the Minimum Generation Emergency logic in the
UDS to utilize the Emergency range of the online Resources.
3.3.1.10 The RGD and BAO work with GOPs and MPs to review unit commitment
and dispatch operations during the surplus period. The RGD, after
consulting with the BAO shall strongly recommend that GOPs and MPs
make appropriate changes in both their Dispatch Minimum and
Emergency Minimum submittals. The RGD shall strongly recommend
pump storage units in pumping mode as operational limits allow.
3.3.1.11 The RGD shall keep the SM and BAO informed as to whether there have
been changes to the GOPs’ and MPs’ Dispatch Minimum and Emergency
Minimum submittals.

Load and scheduled interchange less regulating reserves in MISO is
below the sum of the output of the self-scheduled Resources and the total
emergency minimums the IRAC Operator with input from the RC shall
communicate any notifications of necessary de-commitment of generation
or reduction in schedule in the following order:

Generation committed in Forward Reliability Assessment &
Commitment Process (FRAC) or IRAC process in reverse
economic order as reliability allows.

With emphasis placed on the shortest turnaround time (shut down
and re-start) and reverse economic order, generation will be decommitted as necessary to maintain power balance.

Post, or update, to the MISO OASIS a notice consisting of:
Implementation of the Minimum Generation Emergency Event &
Expected duration of the conditions requiring the implementation of
the Minimum Generation Emergency Event.

3.3.2.1 GOPs and MPs review their Dispatch Minimum and Emergency Minimum
submittals during the time of the event and operate in accordance with
Dispatch Instructions.
3.3.2.2 GOPs and MPs review their current unit commitment plans in coordination
with the MISO RGD to determine whether the commitment of pump
storage units or de-commitment of Resources may be appropriate.
3.4
Minimum Generation Emergency Event Termination
Once it is determined by MISO that the short-term forecasted Load or Real
Time Load and scheduled interchange less regulating reserves in MISO (or
sub-area) has returned above (and is continuing above) the sum of the
output of the non-emergency supply, MISO shall terminate the Minimum
Generation Emergency Event. Generation Resources should, at that point,
verify that they have returned to economic operating ranges.
