SAPS registration and role code

This Release introduces:

A new Registration Category Generating units modelled in the EAAP are categorised into Baseload, Intermediate or Peaking generation groups. called Market SAPS Resource Provider (MSRP) for connecting Generating Units See Relevant Rules or Procedures on a SAPS. It can create and process Change Requests and B2B Business-to-Business. Generic term used to refer to defined business-to-business interactions between participants; excludes interactions between a participant and market systems such as MSATS. Transactions.
A new Role The role a company has with a connection point in CATS. A single company can have more than one role associated with a NMI. Category field for storing the Registration Category, supporting the restriction of connections to the MSRP and SGA Small Generator Aggregator Registration Categories.
Existing SGA Participant IDs’ Role Category populated as SGA.

SAPS DLF code

A new SAPS DLF Code with a DLF factor of 1.0 in Codes Maintenance > DLF Codes:

SAPS TNI codes

The TNI Codes:

Are unique for each SAPS and have a structure participants must follow. It is a 4-character alphanumeric code consisting of two parts.
- Part 1: The first character of the SAPS TNI code identifies the adoptive SAPS network:
- Part 2: The next 3 characters, developed in conjunction with AEMO, identify a specific SAPS within an adoptive SAPS network.
Have a unique TNI Code Transmission Node Identity: A four character alpha-numeric code used to identify a virtual transmission node or transmission network connection point. range assigned to each Distribution Network.
Are grouped by Distribution Network.
Are assigned a separate SAPS Profile Area A geographical area comprising a group of one or more TNIs where a single NSLP is calculated. If part of an LNSP local area is located within the local area of another LNSP, that part of the local area of the first LNSP is considered to be part of the profile area of the second LNSP..

The table below identifies each Distribution Network, the assigned Profile Area, and the TNI Code Energy Rules Terms range:

Assigning a SAPS NMI

Step	Who	Task
	DNSP	Engage with AEMO to create a unique TNI Code
	DNSP	Create NMI for the Generating Unit to the SAPS You can create a new SAPS when an existing NMI is being separated from the NEM but not for a new connection point. This is a rules requirement so does not have system validation. Once a SAPS is created a new connection is eligible to connect to an existing SAPS.
	AEMO	Assigns the NMI Classification Code: NREG
	DNSP	Assigns NMIs to a SAPS by updating each End Users NMI Standing Data using Change Requests: CR5050 or CR5051. The minimum attributes to update are: TNI code SAPS TNI code DLF code If a large number of NMIs require transferring, DNSPs can engage AEMO to use the Bulk Change Tool (BCT).

RM51 Regulated SAPS Generator Reconciliation report

A new RM51 Regulated SAPS Generator Reconciliation report assists MSRPs (FRMPs) to reconcile their allocated energy within a settlement case.

RM51 report details

Purpose	Provides MSRP (FRMP) participants with the energy volume determined for contribution by the SAPS Generating Unit (Unit) for each individual Regulated SAPS
Content	Allocation of Energy values are only provided for approved settlement cases. The Energy values determined for each Unit consists of: TOTAL_LOAD: The aggregate net Energy value or all SAPS End User NMIs for each Trading Interval When there is null Metering Data for all SAPS End User NMIs, the NMI is excluded from the TOTAL_LOAD calculation CONT_RATIO: The proportion of Energy generated by a Unit contributing to TOTAL_LOAD for each Trading Interval Where multiple Units contribute to TOTAL_LOAD, the CONT_RATIO for each Unit is determined by the proportion of generated Energy contributed by each unit for each Trading Interval Where a single unit supports TOTAL_LOAD, the CONT_RATIO equals 1 for each Trading Interval Where a unit consumes Energy, the CONT_RATIO equals 0. Where null Metering Data is provided for a SAPS Generating Unit the CONT_RATIO is set to 0 for the Trading Intervals where there is no metering interval data Where null Metering Data is provided for all Units the CONT_RATIO is proportioned equally across each active Unit CALC_ALLOC: The calculated Metering Data for a Unit for each Trading Interval is determined by multiplying the CONT_RATIO by the TOTAL_LOAD
