What is the testing requirement once the RTU is installed?
Due to the volume of RIGs being replaced, ISO-NE is requiring each customer to schedule a time to test their new RTU to ensure connectivity, configuration and performance requirements with at least 10 business day notice. The test will consist of a point-by-point checkout of the already configured RTU between the participant and ISO-NE IT-EMS staff engineer. The length of time to perform an RTU checkout will be highly dependent upon the preparation of the Participant and quality of RTU configuration relative to the ISO-NE RTU Specification. Customers should schedule an RTU Checkout with ISO-NE Market Support Services once they have completed and submitted the RTU Information Form found in Appendix E of the RTU Specification [PDF]. Due to the volume of RIG replacements to RTUs, each calendar quarter has a limited number of testing dates available. Please do not wait until the RIG replacement deadline to schedule your RTU testing.
