generation shift factor for the referenced constraint will be calculated for all generators within that LCR zone. Following the computation the following condition must be met. If the following condition is met for every contingency then the substituting unit will be considered a suitable RA substitute. Substitution process and validation The Resource Adequacy Availability Incentive mechanism (RAAIM) defines a standard for evaluating performance of RA resources and creates performance incentives and non-availability charges for RA resources. In order to allow resources to manage their availability incentive risk, the ISO has developed substitution rules that allow capacity from resources to for RA capacity which is on outage. A resource on a forced “substitute” outage has the option to provide substitute RA capacity to mitigate any potential impact to the original RA resource’s availability incentive calculation. Substitutions may be requested in the day-ahead market (DAM) and real-time market (RTM) through the customer interface for resource adequacy application (CIRA) on ISO market participant portal. CIRA is a secure server based web application and a digital certificate is required to access the tool. RA Substitute Capacity must be operationally available to the CAISO. Capacity on, or scheduled to be on, a Forced Outage, Approved Maintenance Outage, or de-rate, is not operationally available and shall not to be RA Substitute Capacity for the duration of the period that it is unavailable.
