50. Regulation and Frequency Response Service Regulation and Frequency Response Service is necessary to provide for the continuous balancing of resources (generation and interchange) with load and for maintaining scheduled Interconnection frequency at cycles per second (60 Hz). Regulation and Frequency Response Service is accomplished by committing on-line generation whose output is raised or lowered (predominantly through the use of automatic generation control equipment) as necessary to follow the moment-by-moment changes in load. The obligation to maintain this balance between resources and load lies with BPA. BPA must offer this service when the transmission service is used to serve load within its Control Area. The Transmission Customer must either purchase this service from BPA or make alternative comparable arrangements to satisfy its Regulation and Frequency Response Service obligation. 51. Reliability Obligations Reliability Obligations are the obligations that a party with resources or loads in the BPA Control Area must provide in order to meet minimum reliability standards. Reliability Obligations shall be determined consistent with applicable NERC, WECC, and NWPP standards. BPA offers Ancillary Services and Control Area Services to allow resources or loads to meet their Reliability Obligations. 52. Reserved Capacity Reserved Capacity is the maximum amount of capacity and energy that BPA agrees to transmit for the Transmission Customer over the Transmission System between the Point(s) of Receipt and the Point(s) of Delivery under Part II of the Open Access Transmission Tariff. Reserved Capacity shall be expressed in terms of whole megawatts on a sixty (60)-minute interval (commencing on the clock hour) basis. In cases where Dynamic Schedules are involved, the Reserved Capacity must be set at a level to accommodate (i) a demand equal to the largest ten-minute moving average of the load or generation expected to occur during the contract period for one-way Dynamic Schedules used to transfer generation or load from one Control Area to another Control Area; or (ii) a demand equal to the instantaneous peak demand, for each direction, of the supplemental Control Area service request expected to occur during the contract period for two-way Dynamic Transfers used to provide supplemental Control Area services. The supplemental Control Area service response shall always be the lesser of the Control Area service request or the Reserved Capacity associated with the supplemental Control Area service. 53. Scheduled Demand Scheduled Demand is the hourly demand at which electric energy is scheduled for transmission on the FCRTS.
