EXHIBIT A
Methodology for Determination of Transmission Flows
All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the TOA or, to the extent not defined in the TOA, the ISO OATT.
The methodology for determining parallel path transmission flows to be used in determining the distribution of revenues received for Through or Out Service is as follows, and shall be determined on the basis of the flows for the particular transaction ("Transaction Flows") for the purpose of allocating revenues from the furnishing of Through or Out Service:
A.
Responsibility for Calculations. The calculation of megawatt mile allocations in accordance with this methodology shall be performed under the direction of the PTO Administrative Committee (or such subcommittee as the PTO Administrative Committee shall designate for such purpose).
B.
Periodic Review. Calculations of MW-Mile allocations shall be performed whenever significant changes to the transmission system load flows, as determined by the PTO Administrative Committee (or such subcommittee as the PTO Administrative Committee shall designate for such purpose), occur.
C.
Facilities Included in the Analysis
1.
Transmission Lines. A calculation of MW-miles shall be determined for all PTF and HTF lines.
2.
Generators. The analysis shall include all generators with a Winter Capability equal to or greater than 10.0 MW. Multiple generators connected to a single bus with a total Winter Capability equal to or greater than 10.0 MW shall also be included.
3.
Transformers. All transformers connecting PTF and HTF transmission lines shall be included in the analysis.
D.
Determination of Rate Distribution
1.
General. Modeling of the transmission system shall be performed using a system simulation program and associated cases as approved by the PTO Administrative Committee (or such subcommittee as the PTO Administrative Committee shall designate for such purpose).
2.
Determination of Regional Flows. The change in real power flow (MW) over each transmission line and transformer shall be determined for each generator (or group of generators on a single bus) by determining the absolute value of the difference between the flows on each facility with the generator(s) modeled off and while operating at its net Winter Capability. In addition, a generator shall be simulated at each transmission line tie to the New England Control Area and changes in flow determined for this generator off or while generating at a level of 100 MW. Loads throughout the New England Control Area shall be proportionally scaled to account for differences in generator output and electrical losses. The changes in flow shall be multiplied by the length of each respective line. Changes in flow through transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of five.
Changes in flow through phase-shifting transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of ten. The resulting values represent the MW-miles associated with each facility.
3.
Determination of Transaction Flows
a.
Definition of Supply and Receipt Areas. For the purposes of these calculations, areas of supply and receipt shall be determined by the PTO Administrative Committee (or such subcommittee as the PTO Administrative Committee shall designate for such purpose). These areas shall be based on the system boundaries of each Local Network.
b.
Calculation of MW-Miles. The change in real power flow (MW) over each transmission line and transformer shall be determined for each combination of supply and receipt areas by determining the absolute value of the difference between the flows on each facility following a scaled increase of the supplying areas generation by 100 MW. Loads in the area of receipt shall be scaled to account for changes in generation and electrical losses. In instances where the areas of supply and/or receipt are outside the New England Control Area, the changes in real power flow will be determined only for facilities within the New England Control Area. The changes in flow shall then be multiplied by the length of each respective line. Changes in flow through transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of five. Changes in flow through phase-shifting transformers shall be multiplied by a factor of ten. The resulting values represent the MW-miles associated with each facility.
4.
Assignment of MW-Miles to Transmission Companies. Each Transmission Company shall have assigned to it the MW-miles associated with each PTF and HTF facility for which it has full ownership and for which there are no arrangements in effect by which other Transmission Companies support the facility. For facilities that are jointly owned and/or supported, each Transmission Company shall be assigned MW-miles in proportion to the percentage of its ownership of jointly-owned facilities and/or the percentage of its support for facilities that are jointly supported to the extent such support payments are included in the determination of Annual Transmission Revenue Requirements.
