1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to capture and record a description of what the Users and Business
Stakeholders of the project wish to obtain, by providing high level business requirements. This document
establishes the basis for the agreement between the initiators and implementers of the project. The
information in this document serves as input to determine the scope of projects and all Business Process
Modeling and System Requirements Specifications (SRS) efforts.
Business requirements are what must be delivered to provide value for the Users and Business
Stakeholders. Systems, software, and processes are the ways (how) to deliver, satisfy, or meet the
business requirements (what).
Project Background
Storage developers are rapidly deploying new utility-scale resources onto the California grid to provide
replacement capacity for retiring resources and to meet procurement mandates authorized by the
California Public Utilities Commission.
The purpose of this initiative is to enhance reliability tools and the co-located model with regards to storage
resources. The reliability enhancements includes updates to bidding rules, exceptional dispatch of storage
resources, storage resource opportunity costs, and local area minimum online constraints. The co-located
model enhancements include preventing co-located resources from charging when beyond generation
levels for on-site resources and allowing pseudo-tied resources to use the co-located model.
Project Scope
Reliability Enhancements
Allow for Exceptional Dispatches (EDs) to be issued for storage resources to hold SOC
o Develop functionality within ED User Interface; automate existing excel tool functionality
o Storage may receive a traditional ED or an SOC ED, but not both
Moved from Track 1 to Track 2: Include lost opportunity cost from not generating in storage
resource compensation due to Exceptional Dispatch (ED) to hold SOC (i.e. 0 MW ED)
o Calculate counterfactual energy revenues with and without the SOC Hold ED
o If prices are below bids counterfactuals will not include discharges
o Use actual LMPs (the ISO will not generate counterfactual LMPs)
o Include SOC Hold ED period through the end of the day in time horizon
o Different Settlement process than traditional ED

Co-Located Model Enhancements
Develop an electable co-located model available to all storage resources
o Storage schedules to never exceed renewable schedules (i.e. no grid charging)
o Storage may deviate down to match solar, when solar is producing less than schedules in
real-time
o Deviations to be subject to imbalance energy charges
o Require storage resources to submit outages when depleted and unable to charge
o Require all resources to respond to operator and ED instructions within physical bounds of
operation
Allow for co-located pseudo-tie resources to apply Aggregate Capability Constraint (ACC)
o Resources under an ACC must be pseudo-tied from the same BAA
2 Details of Business Need/Problem
2.1 Description
Business Opportunity/Problem Statement:
What:
This initiative includes enhancements to the ED UI to allow
Operators to better manage energy storage resource state of
charge. In addition, this initiative includes a new counter-factual
opportunity cost methodology to settle EDs to hold SOC. The
initiative also includes enhancements and to the co-located model
to support storage resource VER grid charging only (i.e. no grid
charging.
Why do we have this
opportunity/problem:
The number of storage resources interconnecting to the ISO grid is
rapidly growing. Storage resources can charge and discharge;
therefore they function inherently differently from one-way
generation and load. Current operator tools, bidding rules, market
optimization, and settlement rules require enhancements to
accommodate the influx of storage resources to the grid.

4 Business Requirements
The sections below describe the business processes and the associated business requirements involved
in the project. These may represent high-level functional, non-functional, reporting, and/or infrastructure
requirements. These business requirements directly relate to the high-level scope items determined for
the project.
4.1 Policy and Tariff Requirements
Business Feature
Requirement
Type
Potential
Application(s)
Impacted
This proposal includes new functionality that will
allow dispatch to storage resources to hold a certain
state of charge (MWh), in addition to the traditional
(MW) exceptional dispatch. A tool will allow for
dispatch of storage resources to charge to and hold
a specific level of state of charge for a specific
duration of time in the real-time market.
Policy
RTM
The proposal includes an electable functionality to
limit dispatch instructions for co-located storage
resources to charge to be no greater than the
dispatch operating target of their co-located
renewable resources in both the day-ahead and
real-time markets. 9 This functionality will be
electable on an hour by hour basis and offered to
any co-located storage resource and will prevent
‘grid charging.’
Policy
SIBR
IFM/RTM
The proposal includes implementing this change,
but only for co-located resources that can be
modeled by an aggregate capability constraint and
where all resources are pseudo-tied from the same
balancing authority area to the ISO.

Application(s)
Impacted
Actual signals for exceptional dispatch o resources
will continue to be transmitted to storage SCs via
dispatch instruction in terms of MW.
Storage resources receiving exceptional dispatch
instructions to hold state of charge will be
compensated using a different methodology than
traditional exceptional dispatch.
This compensation will be based on an opportunity
cost methodology and will capture the revenues that
the resource would have received had it been
optimally participating in the market, during the
exceptional dispatch and for a period of time after
the exceptional dispatch.
Policy

OASIS
CMRI
The CAISO will settle storage resources that
receive an Exceptional Dispatch to hold a State of
Charge pursuant to Sections 11.5.6 and 11.5.6.1 for
any FMM Instructed Imbalance Energy or RTD
Instructed Imbalance Energy to move to the
targeted State of Charge plus the resources
opportunity cost for holding the State of Charge.
The CAISO will calculate this opportunity cost
starting from the first Operating Interval when the
resource met and followed the Exceptional Dispatch
through the end of the Operating Day. The CAISO
will calculate the difference between the resource’s
maximum potential RTM Energy revenues without
the Exceptional Dispatch to hold the State of
Charge and the resource’s maximum potential RTM
Energy revenues with the Exceptional Dispatch to
hold State of Charge. If the resources maximum
potential RTM Energy revenues without the
Exceptional Dispatch to hold State of Charge are
higher than the resource’s maximum potential RTM
Energy revenues with the Exceptional Dispatch to
hold State of Charge, then the resource will receive
the positive difference between these two values,
which is its opportunity cost. The CAISO will
calculate the resource’s opportunity costs based on
its Master File characteristics, Bids, State of

At the request of the Interconnection Customer or
Pseudo-Tie Generating Facility, the CAISO may
enforce an Aggregate Capability Constraint for
Generating Facilities with Co-located Resources
that reflects a Generating Facility’s maximum and
minimum capability or a portion of that capability for
purposes of Day-Ahead Market Awards, Real-Time
Market Awards, and Real-Time Dispatch as
described in the CAISO’s Business Practice
Manuals.
The following resources are not eligible to use the
Aggregate Capability Constraint: Multi-Stage
Generators, Proxy Demand Response, Pumped
Storage Hydro Units, Metered Subsystems, and
Use-Limited Resources.

At the request of the Scheduling Coordinator of a
Co-Located Resource that is a storage resource,
the CAISO will enforce a Charging Constraint that
reflects the storage resource’s election not to
charge beyond the output of its co-located Variable
Energy Resource(s). Where a storage resource
has a Charging Constraint registered in the Master
File, the CAISO will not issue (a) Day-Ahead
Schedules for Energy less than the negative value
of the co-located Variable Energy Resource’s Day-
Ahead Schedules; or (b) FMM Schedules or RTD
Schedules for Energy that are less than the
negative value of the co-located Variable Energy
Resource’s Dispatch Operating Target, in the same
Operating Intervals. The CAISO will not observe
Charging Constraints in Operating Intervals where
the storage resource receives an Ancillary Service
Award to provide Regulation or where the storage
resource elects to use Regulation Energy
Management.

The system shall determine where a resource
should have been dispatched for each 5-minute
interval in the evaluation period, assuming SOC
Hold EDs were applied (AKA Counterfactual
Effective Dispatch with SOC Hold). This
theoretical Effective Dispatch is based on the
expected dispatch point using the resource bids,
real-time prices, RT SOC, SOC Hold ED, SOC
Charge ED, upper and lower market energy
capacity limits, and minimum and maximum SOC
levels.
The Effective Dispatch shall observe the

For the Counterfactual Dispatch calculations,
system shall separately track storage resource
SOC based on Effective Dispatch MW values.
Initial SOC shall be the actual SOC (received via
payload) corresponding to the beginning of the
SOC Evaluation Period. After each dispatch,
SOC shall be reduced by the following formula:
If Effective Dispatch < 0
SOC_t = SOC_t-1 (EffDispatch * RTE / 12)
Else:
SOC_t = SOC_t-1 (EffDispatch / 12)
Note: RTE=resource specific round trip-efficiency
For discharging instructions, efficiency
factor = 1.
For charging instructions, efficiency factor
= value received from master file.
Note: discharging instructions (positive MW) shall
reduce the SOC, charging instructions (negative
MW) shall increase the SOC.
Note: The tracked SOC shall be used as an input

4.11 Business Process: Market/Business Simulation
This section shall provide a basis for the development of the Market/Business Simulation Scenarios.
These requirements will provide guidance on the market participant impacts, inputs into the
Scenarios, endpoints to the Scenarios and reasons for potential Scenarios. The guidance on market
participant impacts shall be gathered from the requirements that impact rules, interfaces,
applications/reports, new system processes, new/modified data models, and new user roles. The
source and sink systems shall be determined through the development of the system context
diagram and the web service requirements. The Reason for the Potential Scenario column will be to
offer guidance regarding what potential scenarios, and their context, may be needed for this project.
This section applies to all policy development projects, market enhancements, technology
enhancements, operation enhancements, Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) implementations, and
Reliability Coordination (RC) service implementations. If the project team has deemed that no
structured testing is needed, an end-to-end test case must be specified.
In the Reason for Potential Scenario column, select one or more of the following reasons:
1. Rule Impacts: Generalized changes in market rules, bidding rules, settlements rules, market
design changes, or other business rules.
2. Interface changes: Changes that impact templates (e.g., the Resource Adequacy (RA) supply
plan), user interface (UI), and application programming interface (API) (e.g., retrievals of new
shadow settlement data).
3. New application/report: Changes that cause addition/modification of market software or reports,
especially when market data input is required by the market participant.
4. New system process: Modification of data flow in systems, especially if the new process
requires the market participant to demonstrate proficiency prior to production.
5. New/Modified model data: Addition or substantial modification of model data as a market
solution or export provided by the ISO.
6. New user role: The addition or modification of access permissions for a user role applied to
specific business units within an EIM entity or market participant organization (e.g., Load Serving
Entity (LSE) as a Local Regulatory Authority (LRA) role). Scenarios are beneficial for market
participants taking on a new function or process within their organization.
