MW
Two 3 MW turbines are

Wind Technical Rule. The
MW older 12 MW remain under
the 1999 requirements until
3
MW such time they are upgraded.

Wind Power Forecasting Data
Collection Section 32
• Met tower with 2 weather
measurement devices
– measurement at the wind turbine
generator hub height and another taking
measurements at a height specified by
the ISO
• Measurements are 10 minute
average values
– wind speed, wind direction, barometric
pressure and ambient temperature
• AESO is currently working on
details for data transfer

Proposed TCM Rule 9.4
Protocol Steps to Manage Constraints
42
Review of Findings in
AUC Decision 2009-042 on TCM Rule 9.4
• Economic Dispatch: The use of the merit order for dispatch instructions
is aligned with regulation.
• Price Impact: Price impact of the TCM rule will be reasonable under
current and anticipated market conditions.

AESO Proposals regarding Commission
Directions on TCM Rule 9.4
Directions: Proposal:
• Scope of Rule • 9.4 is real time rule only
Pros Cons
• Price impact of constraint • Does not promote price fidelity
removed under current market design
• Creates separate side • Not the best price signal and may
payments for constraints not be effective in managing
constraints
46
Pay as Bid Discussion
AESO Conclusions
• Price signal is the appropriate method of encouraging FEOC behaviour
not out of market solutions
• The Rule 9.4 protocol:
– Is effective and practical
– works within current market framework
– Is a single protocol that deals with all constraints
– Promotes price fidelity by minimizing the price impact and level of market
distortion
• The AESO does not recommend using any pay as bid protocol within
the TCM Rule
• Severe market distortions are not constraint management issues and
will be dealt with appropriately through other means

RAS Discussion
Two types of RAS: Connection RAS and System RAS, each of which
serve different purposes and require different approaches
Connection RAS
• Assigned to and paid for by customers on a last in first off
basis - Alternatively, the customer can choose to wait until
facilities are built
• Is temporary, however, the AESO can only provide an
estimate of when it is no longer needed
• Customers do not receive compensation for being
connected to a RAS
52
RAS Discussion
System RAS
• May be assigned or procured
• Customers do not receive compensation for being constrained down
• May be permanent
