The PJM MRC heard first read Thursday on proposed rule changes to day-ahead resource commitment and scheduling reserve requirements.

A round-up of news from the PJM Market Implementation Committee on Sept. 3, 2014.

PJM last week proposed eliminating some generators from the calculation of Tier 1 synchronized reserves.

PJM Stakeholders endorsed rule changes to clarify that generation owners providing Tier 2 synchronized reserves will be measured in the aggregate when PJM evaluates their performance under a new penalty structure.

PJM members voted to begin work on rule changes to allow residential customers to participate in the synchronized reserve market through demand response.

PJM members will consider relaxing metering requirements to make it more practical for residential customers to offer demand response into the synchronous reserve market under a problem statement approved Friday.

PJM Members endorsed the changes to manuals 3A, 14A and 28.

Combined cycle generators’ performance in providing Tier 2 synchronized reserve has fallen by half since 2008.

The Operating Committee last week endorsed changes to Manuals 3A and 13 while the Market Implementation Committee endorsed revisions to Manual 28.
