NPRR186 Naming Convention Clarification
ReasonTechnically, the modeling software of ERCOT makes this a redundant requirement based on the modeling hierarchy of the system. As discussed and agreed upon at an April 2006 Transition Plan Task Force (TPTF) meeting, the maintenance aspect of modeling would prove to be extremely difficult and affect all Market Participants using the modeling data. It is much better to change one field than to change 10,000 data instances when a company changes name or a piece of equipment transfers between companies. Modeling information posted as required by Nodal Protocol Section 3.10, Network Operations Modeling and Telemetry, will identify equipment associated with a Market Participant. The TAC approved naming convention is possibly in conflict with the Protocol language and inclusion of a prefix would require custom system re-designs by ERCOT and Market Participants.

Summary
This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) clarifies the Nodal Protocols regarding the naming convention approved by TAC by removing the requirement for use of a prefix within the name of Transmission Elements. The naming convention does not and should not require inclusion of a prefix to identify Transmission Service Providers (TSPs).
