What is the purpose of the Nodal System Operations Test Environment (SOTE)? How can it be accessed and when will it be released?
The Nodal System Operations Test Environment (SOTE) is for Transmission Service Provider (TSP) access. The Nodal SOTE is intended to address the following Nodal Protocol requirements: Section 3.10.4(7) – ERCOT shall provide TSPs access, consistent with applicable policies regarding release of CEII, to an environment of the ERCOT Energy Management System (EMS) where the Network Operations Model and the results of the Real-Time State Estimator (SE) are available for review and analysis within five minutes of the Real-Time solution. This environment is provided as a tool to TSPs to perform power flow studies, contingency analyses and validation of SE results. The SOTE environment is accessible through Citrix, and TSP users who currently have access to the zonal Market Operations Test Environment (MOTE) will have access to the Nodal SOTE environment, as well.
