Last week ERCOT curtailed our site due to incomplete telemetry data, specifically the lack of MVAR values. The temporary solution was to have our TDSP calculate the MVAR using the existing telemetered MW and MVA values and submit that calculation to ERCOT. Thankfully, ERCOT validated and approved this temporary solution quickly so we were not offline for long.
The key takeaway here is to ensure that all telemetry systems, especially remote terminal units, are properly installed and transmitting real-time data before bringing any large load online. This was a miss from the TDSP, but the strange part is that ERCOT approved the energization. Very very unique situation, so I thought it was meaningful to share.
