Abstract:
The Proposed Rulemaking for RM25-3 pertains to the following: Pursuant to section 215(d)(2) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Commission proposes to approve the addition of the newly defined term “Ride-through” to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Glossary of Terms and to approve the proposed Protection and Control (PRC) Reliability Standards PRC-024-4 (Frequency and Voltage Protection Settings for Synchronous Generators, Type 1 and Type 2 Wind Resources, and Synchronous Condensers) and PRC-029-1 (Frequency and Voltage Ride-through Requirements for Inverter-Based Resources (IBR)). We also propose to approve the associated violation risk factors, violation severity levels, implementation plans, and effective dates for proposed Reliability Standards PRC-024-4 and PRC-029-1, as well as to approve the retirement of currently effective Reliability Standard PRC 024 3.
