INFORMATION SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS FOR
PGBU TO ISO INTERFACE
(1997-2002)
IS REQUIREMENTS FOR PGBU TO ISO INTERFACE
SCOPE
DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, INTEGRATE, OPERATE AND SUPPORT COMPUTER AND TELECOMMUNICATION
SYSTEMS, DATABASES AND APPLICATIONS TO ALLOW DIRECT INTERFACE BETWEEN ISO AND
PGBU IN ORDER TO:
o Share operational data
o Communicate ISO's grid dispatch commands to RCCs and confirmation of
facilities operation to ISO
o Schedule and coordinate outage of the transmission facilities
o Share data required to verify financial settlements
o Share transmission planning, interconnection and access procedures and
information
IS REQUIREMENTS FOR PGBU TO ISO INTERFACE
NEED
IN RESPONSE TO INDUSTRY RESTRUCTURING IN CALIFORNIA AND FORMATION OF PX AND ISO
AND TO:
o Comply with "Transmission Control Agreement" with ISO
o Allow for audit of system operation
o Allow for verification of financial settlement between ISO and PGBU
o Comply with regional reliability and regulatory requirements
o Minimize conflicts between ISO and PGBU
IS REQUIREMENTS FOR PGBU TO ISO INTERFACE
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
o THE FOCUS OF THIS PRESENTATION IS ON MORE THAN A SINGLE COMMUNICATION LINK
BETWEEN PGBU'S EMS AND ISO'S PMS. THE IS SYSTEM SHOULD ALLOW PGBU, IN
COORDINATION WITH ISO, TO:
o safely and efficiently operate the transmission system
o coordinate/schedule outage of transmission facilities
o perform transmission planning and interconnection studies
o perform regional and regulatory requirement studies and filings
o receive and verify financial settlements data from ISO
o pursue new business opportunities related to the interface
o IN THIS PRESENTATION WE RECOMMEND BROAD SOLUTIONS AND RESOURCES FOR
INFORMATION SYSTEM NEEDS RATHER THAN ORGANIZATIONAL FUNCTION REQUIREMENTS
TO PROVIDE SUCH NEEDS.
o WE REALIZE THAT THE CALIFORNIA'S ISO AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ENERGY
MARKET PARTICIPANTS ARE STILL EVOLVING AND THERE ARE ONGOING EFFORTS AT SCE
AND WEPEX TO DESIGN THE ISO INTERFACES TO VARIOUS MARKET PARTICIPANTS,
INCLUDING THE ISO. HENCE, THIS PRESENTATION SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED
COMPLETE OR FINAL.
o WE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL ONGOING INITIATIVES AT PGBU TO DEVELOP
SYSTEMS AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT REQUIRE IS SUPPORT. OUR GOAL IS TO
RECOMMEND BROAD SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT AND FACILITATE PGBU INITIATIVES.

RESOURCES NEEDED FROM PGBU, PGBU-IS OR ITS CONSULTANTS/PARTNERS.
2. H.R. needs may overlap and hence do not simply add up - in addition time
critical applications will need more than 1 FTE per "resource

1. Cost of developing/procuring applications are not included. Only
incremental H/W costs are included (e.g., the costs of building the telecom
infrastructure are not included - about half of the hardware components are
assumed to be already in place). It is assumed that the rooms to set up the
infrastructure are already in place. FTEs are costed at the rate of
$200k/yr including the overhead. Only FTEs needed for developing and
supporting the applications and databases are included - FTEs needed for
basic hardware and system support (e.g., system administrators) are not
included.
2. Total cost may be less than the cost of individual units due to overlap.
