– Greater coordinated between: Planners, Operators, and Substation Engineers
o Conversion of Slider Diagrams– Each substation needs to be reconfigured manually
o Contingency Files– Need to be updated manually– Cannot mix bus-branch and node-breaker representations
o Other tools– PSLF, PowerWorld, and TARA need to be able to read PSS/e cases with node-breaker

• Evaluate large storage facilities that are tightly coupled to electric generation (>2GW)
• Measure BPS reliability implications when storage facilities are not available
Part II: Evaluation of Gas Storage
Facilities
•Identify areas with a high density of natural gas generation
•Determine vulnerabilities and risk factors to consider in resiliency planning
Part III: Identification of
Generation Clusters

What is a Single Point of Disruption?
…on Natural Gas Infrastructure - A catastrophic failure of a facility (e.g., compressor station, underground storage) or transportation segment (e.g., pipeline element or segment) that physically impedes downstream delivery of natural gas to natural gas-fired electric generators. These failures occur where there is very little or no backhaul capability to deliver sufficient quantities of natural gas.

Step 1: Review of Studies – Key Findings
• Variety of concerns and region-specific challenges• Wide-area transmission impacts (voltage and thermal
constraints) due to loss of natural gas infrastructure are typically not studied; focus is generally on resource adequacy and resource availability.
• Many respondents indicated that there were no natural gas storage facilities within their systems to evaluate.
• Opportunity to learn from those with comprehensive resiliency plans

• The ERO Enterprise declined to endorse the existing guidance document. Requires updating to reflect changes from previous PRC-023 revisionso Primarily involves removing guidance to Generator Loadability which is currently
covered by a separate Reliability Standard Specifically address Requirement R1 Criteria 10 and 11o These criteria address over current protection applied to transformers
– Guidance for criteria 10 includes a caution to ensure protection conforms to IEEE recommendations
– Criteria 11 provides an option for lower over current set points, provided that tripping is supervised by devices that identify eminent damage to the transformer.
Adds a reference for load ingression techniques Corrects minor errors in the Switch onto Fault guidance

ERS Measure 7Reactive Capability on the System
• Measure 7: Tracks static and dynamic reserve capability per total megawatt load at peak, shoulder, and light load levels; and load power factor for distribution at the low side of transmission buses at peak, shoulder, and light load levels. A data request was developed asking for the information on a BA basis for
equipment on or connected to the transmission system at 100 kV and above.
The measure also offered BAs the option of providing the data by reactive sub-areas if available.
The request sought data for the past five years and the current year plus four future years.
Several BAs responded to the request.

WOW! Look at all that dynamic MVAR reserve. Utility A will NEVER have a problem!
Those forward looking trends appears to show potential issues…
Reactive is a local issue, this doesn’t signify anything. Paints the wrong message actually.
Differences between actual data and planning case assumptions. Modeling issue, not actual issue.

SAMS Perspective & Recommendations
Overall Perspective:• Reactive capability and reactive planning are localized issues,
not suited for wide-area metric• Requires detailed pre- and post-contingency analysis, as part of
TPL-001-4 analysis• FERC Order 827, subsequent to Measure 7, requires non-
synchronous resources to provide dynamic reactive supportRecommendations:• Discontinue Measure 7 – does not capture useful information• Use ERS Whitepaper on Sufficiency Guidelines (BA sub-area)• Use Reliability Guideline on Reactive Power Planning

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY6
SAMS Disclaimers
• Ensuring dynamic (and static) reactive capability critical to reliability – requirement of TP and PC
• Ensuring controllable and stable grid voltages necessary for operating reliability – requirement of TOP and GOP
• Measure 7 to be retired BUT reliability concepts still hold true

Performance Questions
• International grid codes often require “dynamic” performance requirements EirGrid – 90% of steady-state response in 1 second, rise time < 100 s UK – 90% response in 1 second South Australia – 200 ms initial response, 95% within 1 second
• FERC Order 827 assures BES-connected resource reactive capability, but not “dynamic” performance
• Who is tracking how these resources perform and how this is affecting grid reliability?

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY8
Capability & Ride-Through Questions
• MOD-025-2 requires reactive capability testing for generators and synchronous condensers
• No similar requirement for capability testing of transmission-connected dynamic reactive resources (e.g., STATCOMs, SVCs, etc.). Why?
• PRC-024-2 requires ride-through for generators to maintain support to BES during abnormal V and f conditions
• No similar requirement for ride-through of transmission-connected dynamic reactive resources
• How are we assuring that these resources remain connected during grid events?

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY9
Steady-State Voltage Control Questions
• VAR-001-4 and VAR-002-4 work together to ensure GOPs are provided a voltage schedule by the TOP and they maintain the voltage schedule, unless exemption given for power factor control
• Many older generation resources interconnected on power factor control
• What fraction of resources providing power factor control vs. voltage control?
• Are TOPs utilizing to the fullest extent possible the reactive capabilities of inverter-based resources?

Trending and Tracking Questions
• Are we seeing an increasing trend in power electronic-based reactive power resources?
• Are we collecting sufficient data to make observations around these trends?
• Do these resources have the same performance characteristics of conventional dynamic reactive resources (e.g., failure rates)?
These are all good questions!• Planners and operators should be asking themselves these
questions – and most likely are addressed already!• NERC has an obligation to ensure reliability trends and
observations are addressed, proactive assurance of reliability
