COMMENT FOR BPM 101 - Advance Assessment

Submitted Oct. 6, 2023, 7:43 a.m.



01: Please supply any comments related to the Introduction, Definitions, or Background sections.

No response submitted.

02: Please supply any comments related to the Advance Assessment Timeline section.

Neither Table 1 or Table 2 identify a specific delivery date for 'PO provides Participants with draft outputs'  does that mean it is part of the general review (September 15, and February 15)?

Table 1 seems to reference the September 15 and February 15 dates as the actual study and not the Advisory by colling them T-2 and T-1.

We need firm expected dates for Advisory outputs to be shared.

03: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal section.

No response submitted.

04: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal - Advance Assessment Submittal Process section (3.1).

Table 3 - Wasn't the need for Storage Hydro GADS data removed? 

What is the purpose and the need for this data for Storage Hydro?

Storage Hydro monthly QCC values are a required data point, which already include appropriate Forced Outage calculation. We determined GADS data was NOT needed for Storage Hydro.

05: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal - Resource Registration Implication section (3.2).

No response submitted.

06: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal - Modeling Data from Forward Showing Submittal section (3.3).

No response submitted.

07: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal - Participant Review and Verification Process of Input Data section (3.4).

No response submitted.

08: Please supply any comments related to the Draft Modeling Output Results Review section (3.5).

No response submitted.

09: Please supply any comments related to the Data Submittal - Advance Assessment Result Distribution section (3.6).

Section 3.6 and Table 6 Title seem to contradict what information will be supplied for current applicable season and Advisory season - participants should receive all data for both seasons.

Table 6 - Seems to contradict section 3.6 above - where is says 'makes recommendations for a proposed FSPRM for each month of the applicable Binding Seasons, and provides an advisory FSPRM for each month of the Binding Seasons five years ahead'  and then lists all the things provided.

Does that mean that the Advisory only provides a PRM number and no additional resource information? 

Modeling should be providing ALL details for both the applicable season and the Advisory season.
