Initial Comments
PRR 1147 - Six Cities Comments.pdf    
the interplay between the bid generation exemption and the outage management process is not clear. The Six Cities request that the CAISO provide further explanation as to what the must offer obligation is for a CAR and the circumstances under which an outage notification is required if the CAR is satisfying its must offer obligation.

---------------------------------------------
CARs face frequent, recurring, and predictable periods of unavailability.  The bid generation exemption is an acknowledgement that having the ISO and resource manage these limits through OMS cards would be impractical.  As a result, a CAR need not submit an outage card to OMS when it is unavailable because of the regulatory or operational limits that qualify them as a CAR.  All other rules and obligations applicable to RA resources apply.  For example, outside of the CAR-qualifying limitations, a CAR should be bidding 24x7.  Also, if a CAR-qualifying limitation prevents the resource from bidding during a RAAIM assessment hour, then the resource will be exposed to RAAIM regardless of its status as a CAR.

Comments logged for Ann Segesman - PG&E

1) The MOO_QUALIFIED flag is now being used to show bid insertion exemption for both CAR or Non-Dispatchable resources.
The master file documentation should also be revised to reflect this change.
The current rule definition under MOO_QUALIFIED flag shows “this field is set to N if Use-Limit flag is ‘Y””. The document rule definition should add “this flag is set to N is CAR or Non-Dispatchable resource”
Similar change should be made to Market Instruments Section B.2.2, which shows a definition of MOO_QUALIFIED flag

2) What is the timing for when the request for a CAR resource or Non-Dispatchable resource is approved in CIDI and the flag changing in the RDT?

---------------------------------------------
1) Market Instruments ver 51 section B.2.2 has made the definition for MOO_QUALIFIED more generic.
2) Once the request for CAR or Non-Dispatchable status is approved, the changes will be processed in 5 business days.

---------------------------------------------
The CAISO was clear in the stakeholder process that the bid generation exemption was separate from a RAAIM exemption and that creation of the CAR category was solely about managing bid generation limitations.  Further, nothing about how the CAR construct has been implemented would allow the CAISO to distinguish why a resource did or didn’t meet its bid obligation in a given hour.  The references in section 40.6.4.1 to “expected available Energy” is legacy tariff language that previously was used primarily to apply to hydro units.  In making the January 31 filing the CAISO could have created further clarity but its intent nevertheless was clear that CARs would hold no RAAIM exemption by virtue of them qualifying as a CAR.
