The CAISO has information security documents relevant to each project. The following security documents and links to additional security requirements are incorporated into this BPM. For further information and reliability requirements please contact the CAISO Network Security. Basic Assurance Certification Practice Statement (CPS): The ECN Connectivity Requirements link is: Network Connectivity Security Requirements and ECN Agreement: Real-time Point Definitions The resource owner is responsible for correctly providing all required points at the accuracy herein. ANALOG VALUES Megawatts (Gross MW) Definition: This quantity is defined as the resource’s real power output, before subtracting the auxiliary real power load or step-up transformer real power losses. Purpose: Gross MW is used to determine the CAISO Balancing Authority Area's generation pattern in the network model. Methods of providing this value: This value can be provided from instrument devices at the resource site (accurate transducers), at the Generating Unit terminals/low side of the step-up transformer, before any generation is intermingled with auxiliary load. It may be calculated from other measured points as agreed to by the CAISO RIG Engineer (i.e., Net MW plus Aux MW = Gross MW). Net Megawatts (Net MW) Definition: This quantity is defined as the resource’s real power output measured at the low side of the step up transformer after the auxiliary transformer if applicable. Or the quantity available after subtracting the unit auxiliary real power load, but before subtracting the unit step-up transformer real power losses. Purpose: Net MW is used to determine the CAISO Balancing Authority Area's generation pattern used in the network model.
