Field Trial Documents and Tools Status:
As of July 28, 2010 this project has been merged with Project 2007-05 - Balancing Authority Controls and is now Project 2010-14.1 Phase 1 of Balancing Authority Reliability-based Controls: Reserves. The new project page is available at: Project 2010-14.1 Phase 1 BARC: Reserves
Purpose/Industry Need:
This project includes expanding on the work already done in developing the draft BAL-007 through BAL-011 by adding requirements to address the following concerns:
To support corrective action by the BA when excessive Area Control Error (as determined by this standard) may be contributing to or causing action to be taken to correct an SOL/IROL problem
To prevent Interconnection frequency excursions of short duration attributed to the ramping of on and off-peak Interchange Transactions
To support timely transmission congestion relief by requiring corrective load/generation management by the Balancing Authority(ies) within a defined timeframe when participating in transmission loading relief procedure
To address the directives of FERC Order 693.
To ensure that when finalized the standards associated with this project conform to the latest versions of NERC’s Reliability Standards Development Procedure, the Sanction Guidelines of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, and the ERO Rules of Procedure.
Additionally, the frequency model used to establish the frequency-based limits will be reviewed to see if additional enhancements are necessary.
