About NERC
  • The electric industrys self-regulatory
    organization for reliability
  • Balances the interests of all stakeholders
  • Represents industry consensus
  • Independently acts in the best interest of
    reliability
  • International charter lending government
    support and oversight to SRO activities, ensuring
    that the best interests of society-at-large are
    represented
  • Federally recognized Electric Reliability
    Organization in the U.S.
  • Agreements in place with several Canadian
    provinces and developing these agreements in
    others

About NERC Mission
To ensure the reliability of the North American
bulk power system
  • Develop enforce reliability standards
  • Assess current and future reliability
  • Analyze system events recommend improved
    practices
  • Encourage active participation by all
    stakeholders
  • Pursue mandatory standards in all areas of the
    interconnection

2007 LTRA Report
Integration of Wind Solar Resources Require
Special Considerations in Planning, Design,
Operation
  • Operational challenges must be resolved
  • Transmission needed to support renewable
    development
  • Clean Energy Superhighway
  • NERC to monitor federal carbon legislation for
    impact on reliability

5
NERCs Actions
  • Evaluate operational requirements
  • Recommend standards.
  • Develop a consistent approach for rating variable
    resources
  • Available capacity at time of system peak
  • Developed Integration of Variable Generation Task
    Force

6
Engaging Industry Experts
  • Integration must support a reliable bulk power
    system
  • Variable Resources affect planning/operations
  • Reviewed by the Operating Planning Committees
    in December 2007
  • Integration of Variable Generation Task Force

7
IVGTF Scope
  • The Task Force will prepare
  • A concepts document that includes the
    philosophical and technical considerations for
    integrating variable resources
  • Specific recommendations for practices and
    requirements, including reliability standards,
    that cover the planning, operations planning, and
    real-time operating timeframes.
  • The document will include
  • Planning timeframe issues, such as contribution
    to reserve margins and modeling requirements to
    test system reliability,
  • Operational Planning and Real-time operating
    timeframe issues, including Interconnection
    frequency, and primary and secondary generation
    control
  • Review NERC Standards for any gaps
  • Conclusions and recommendations.

8
IVGTF Guiding Principles
  • Bulk power system reliability must be
    maintained, regardless of the generation mix
  • All generation must contribute to overall bulk
    power system reliability
  • Standards and criteria established must be fair,
    transparent and performance-based
  • Planners and operators must understand the
    challenges presented by large scale integration
    of variable generation
  • Wind and other variable generation must
    effectively integrate into planning and
    operations practices to ensure reliability
  • New Planning/operating tool requirements will be
    described in terms of bulk power system
    reliability performance
