(2 Requirements) BAL-001-2: Real Power Balancing Control Performance R1 - Answer R1. The Responsible Entity shall operate such that the Control Performance Standard 1 (CPS1), calculated in accordance with Attachment 1, is greater than or equal to 100 percent for the applicable Interconnection in which it operates for each preceding 12 consecutive calendar month period, evaluated monthly. [Violation Risk Factor: Medium] [Time Horizon: Real-time Operations] BAL-001-2: Real Power Balancing Control Performance R2 - Answer R2. Each Balancing Authority shall operate such that its clock-minute average of Reporting ACE does not exceed its clock-minute Balancing Authority ACE Limit (BAAL) for more than 30 consecutive clock-minutes, calculated in accordance with Attachment 2, for the applicable Interconnection in which the Balancing Authority operates.[Violation Risk Factor: Medium] [Time Horizon: Real-time Operations] BAL-001-TRE-1: Primary Frequency Response in the ERCOT Region - Answer To maintain Interconnection steady-state frequency within defined limits. Contingency Reserve Restoration Period - Answer A period not exceeding 90 minutes following the end of the Contingency Event Recovery Period. BAL-001-TRE-1: R1 Primary Frequency Response in the ERCOT Region - Answer R2. The BA shall calculate the Primary Frequency Response of each generating unit/generating facility in accordance with this standard and the Primary Frequency Response Reference Document.1 This calculation shall provide a 12-month rolling average of initial and sustained Primary Frequency Response performance. This calculation shall be completed each month for the preceding 12 calendar months. 2.1. The performance of a combined cycle facility will be determined using an expected performance droop of 5.78%. 2.2. The calculation results shall be submitted to the Compliance Enforcement Authority and made available to the GO by the end of the month in which they were completed. 2.3. If a generating unit/generating facility has not participated in a minimum of (8) eight FMEs in a 12-month period, its performance shall be based on a rolling eight FME average response. [Violation Risk Factor = Lower] [Time Horizon = Operations Assessment] M2. The BA shall have evidence it calculated and reported the rolling average initial and sustained Primary Frequency Response performance of each generating unit/generating facility monthly as required in Requirement R2. BAL-001-TRE-1: R3 Primary Frequency Response in the ERCOT Region - Answer R3. The BA shall determine the Interconnection minimum Frequency Response (IMFR) in December of each year for the following year, and make the IMFR, the methodology for calculation and the criteria for determination of the IMFR publicly available. BAL-002-3: Disturbance Control Standard - Contingency Reserve for Recovery from a Balancing Contingency Event - Answer To ensure the Balancing Authority or Reserve Sharing Group balances resources and demand and returns the Balancing Authority's or Reserve Sharing Group's Area Control Error to defined values (subject to applicable limits) following a Reportable Balancing Contingency Event. BAL-002-3: R1 Disturbance Control Standard - Contingency Reserve for Recovery from a Balancing Contingency Event - Answer R1. The Responsible Entity experiencing a Reportable Balancing Contingency Event shall: [Violation Risk Factor: High] [Time Horizon: Real-time Operations] 1.1. within the Contingency Event Recovery Period, demonstrate recovery by returning its Reporting ACE to at least the recovery value of: zero (if its Pre-Reporting Contingency Event ACE Value was positive or equal to zero); however, any Balancing
