Project: ACE Diversity Interchange (ADI)
ACE Diversity Interchange (ADI) Details
Under the terms of DSRFA, ColumbiaGrid will assist and evaluate the ADI programs under development, including the Northwest Power Pool effort. ColumbiaGrid will work with others to understand the scope, benefits, and impacts of ADI programs and identify any constraints or concerns with implementation. The activity includes observing system tests and gathering data and other information about the results. ColumbiaGrid’s initial task is to provide a written recommendation for the reliability agreement parties on ADI programs, including the benefits, impacts, constraints, concerns, and the potential future role of ColumbiaGrid in ADI program tests and implementation. The interim recommendation, expected to be complete in December 2007, will be published on ColumbiaGrid’s website when it is available.
NOTE: Access to NWPP members Balancing Authorities' ACE data, used in the analysis of potential ADI effectiveness for this project, was gained only through the signature of a non-disclosure agreement with each BA. For this reason ColumbiaGrid will only release this ACE data, through password assignment, to other members of the NWPP ADI Task Force.
