Dear juan,
FriedWire Inc has just released a new version of our Traffic Report. Below is a snapshot of the new content: NEW EMERGENCY MAPS- We have added more than a hundred transmission elements (e.g. flowgates, transformers, power plants now totaling over 500!) to our geographic representation of TLR's and other market-moving announcements. To handle the increased resolution, we have developed two new maps that replace the Emergency Constraints map, providing even more information for users to easily digest in a color-coded, geographic snapshot. Now, the Emergency (TLR) map shows the entire U.S. with small white dots in the background that represent all the flowgates that are experiencing satisfactory conditions. Overlaid are larger color-coded dots signaling the flowgates that have some TLR level associated with them. The new TLR map will have greater differentiation than the old one, with TLR levels from 1 to 6 represented. When you click on one of the colored dots, you will see the name of the element and the TLR level in a pop-up box. The Market Notices map still has the regions colored when there is a market notice associated with them. You can click on a region and get a pop-up text box with the full text of the regional notice. CALIFORNIA ISO- We have added the ability to look at the system frequency for a day or an hour in the Frequency Monitoring in WSCC (deviation from 60Hz) area of the System Summary page. We have also added Generator Outages in California. This lists all generator outages, including unplanned and planned, with additional data fields detailing the name, owner, and zone of curtailed units plus the amount of capacity affected. POWER FLOWS- We now have more information displayed on the time series flow graph for each intertie on the Intertie Profile screen under the Power Flows tab. When a transmission line or intertie is affected by a TLR request, the black line on the time series graph (which represents flow under normal conditions) is overlaid with a bold color corresponding to what TLR the line is experiencing. Thus, the historical context provided by the graph for intertie flow over the past day, week, month, or year, is even more intuitive and informational with the help of easy-to-read color coding, reflecting TLR history as far back as a year. If you want more information about the intertie's past TLR's, simply scroll down to the history of market notices associated with that physical transmission element. We have also revisited the ways in which flow direction can be interpreted. We now provide a clear picture of the magnitude AND direction of power. 1.) In the power flow time series graph, the limit of the intertie and the flow on the intertie will now always show consistent signs. 2.) In the Power Flow Data table above the graph, the Flow MW will always appear positive. This flow magnitude is in fact, the absolute value of the flow. The Flow Direction, the left-most data field on this row, is dynamic. If the flow changes directions, the text within that field will be modified accordingly. 3.) The third place to get an immediate and intuitive sense of direction of power flow is in the map to the left of the graph on the Intertie Profile. The arrow will always correspond to real-time direction of power flow. Look forward to a major new release soon. We'll soon be rolling out links to all OASIS nodes in our ATC tab, our new flowgate impact calculator and more. Take Care, Bill Townsend President FriedWire Inc.
