Abstract:
FERC-725G coversthe information collection requirements of Reliability Standards PRC-019, PRC-024, and PRC-023. Under this proceeding, NERC as ERO states that "five proposed Reliability Standards: MOD-025-2, MOD-026-1, MOD-027-1, PRC-019-1 and PRC-024-1 address generator verifications needed to support Bulk-Power System reliability and will ensure that accurate data is verified and made available for planning simulations." NERC explains that Bulk-Power System reliability benefits from "good quality simulation models of power system equipment," and that "model validation ensures the proper performance of the control systems and validates the computer models used for stability analysis." NERC further states that the proposed Reliability Standards will enhance reliability because the tests performed to obtain model data may reveal latent defects that could cause "inappropriate unit response during system disturbances."
