Scenario: Outage scheduled approximately 1 year in advance for 30 days and being changed to a 5-day outage within the 120 period.
Does this still affect a generator in a negative manner?
Without exemption and in RA hours, it would reduce accreditation in future PRA.
Explain why this is a negative impact.
You’re allowed to decrease by 20%. Best action is to cancel existing and submit new outage for 5-day period. (If more than 120 days out still eligible for timely exemption)
Best avenue to ask:
Ask Outage Planner via submitting a case in the Help Center.
Transmission outage (either emergency or planned) that makes a generator unavailable; does the generator get penalized, or do outage days charged to them?
You can select a cause code and supply transmission outage in notes, then you will not be penalized.
Is there any way to set up an email alert from MISO when an exemption is either granted or rejected?
In the CROW webtool you may create a Subscription by clicking the Report Tab in the Top Left and then the Notification: Email radial button.
Explain the process and timing of a generator outage CROW ticket submittal works.
Timing after submission until approved; if you submit an outage 13-14 months out, when would that be approved?
- MISO will respond to the request that it is being studied typically around 2 weeks but no later than 3 months. Exemptions are granted at the time of outage
submittal and can be added or removed when an outage changes. - See Exhibit 5-1 in BPM-008 – Timeline for MISO’s Response
- *If MISO asks you to move your outage to a better timeframe and you accept, you will receive a full exemption for that outage.
- If unable to move outage would not receive any additional exemptions.
- Maintenance Margin is a daily posted value on the MISO website.
After approval, is there a possibility of an outage being changed by MISO (denied)?
Not for Generation, MISO only has authority to deny transmission outages.
