This standard ensures the Balancing Authority or Reserve Sharing Group balances resources and demand and returns the Balancing Authority's or Reserve Sharing Group's Area Control Error to defined values (subject to applicable limits) following a Reportable Balancing Contingency Event.
This standard ensures generators provide reactive support and voltage control, within generating Facility capabilities, in order to protect equipment and maintain reliable operation of the Interconnection.
This standard is to ensure that Timer Error Corrections are conducted in a manner that does not adversely affect the reliability of the Interconnection. Timer error correction is a holdover from the days when electrically driven clock motors were used for time keeping across the U.S. Satellite clocks have obsoleted motor-clocks.
This standard establishes requirements for Balancing Authority Automatic Generation Control (AGC) necessary to calculate Area Control Error (ACE) and to routinely deploy the Regulating Reserve.
This standard defines a process for monitoring Balancing Authorities to ensure that, over the long-term, balancing Authority Areas do not excessively depend on other Balancing Authority areas in the Interconnection for meeting their demand or Interchange obligations.
