Project 2010-03 Modeling Data (MOD B)

Status

Board Adopted: February 6, 2014

Filed with FERC: February 25, 2014

Order Effective

Background:

NERC Reliability Standards MOD-010 through MOD-015 address modeling data requirements that support the mathematical model representations of transmission, generation, and load that are the foundation of virtually all power system studies. Only two of those standards were approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “Commission”) in Order No. 693. Four of them were neither approved nor remanded, and they remain in a pending status.

NERC initiated an informal development process (“MOD B”) to address the remaining directives related to the existing standards from FERC Order Nos. 890 and 693, and the Project 2010-03 Modeling Data Standard Drafting Team was formed following that informal development process. Two new reliability standards are proposed to replace MOD-010 through MOD-015. The proposal includes a combined modeling data standard, MOD-032-1, and a new validation standard to address directives related to validation, MOD-033-1.

The proposed standards are related to system-level modeling and validation. Standard MOD-032-1 is a consolidation and replacement of existing MOD-010-0, MOD -011-0, MOD-012-0, MOD-013-1, MOD-014-0, and MOD-015-0.1, and it requires a minimum level of data submission by applicable data owners to their respective Transmission Planners and Planning Coordinators to support the Interconnection model building process in their Interconnection. Standard MOD-033-1 is a new standard, and it requires each Planning Coordinator to implement a documented data validation process for its planning area.
