Summary:
A formal comment period for draft Reliability Standard MOD-026-2 – Verification of Dynamic Models and Data for BES Connected Facilities, is open through 8 p.m. Eastern, Wednesday, July 6, 2022. Initial ballots for the standard and implementation plan, as well as a non-binding poll of the associated Violation Risk Factors and Violation Severity Levels will be conducted June 27–July 6, 2022.
Additional Discussion:
The NERC Inverter-based Resource (IBR) Performance Task Force (IRPTF) undertook an effort to perform a comprehensive review of all NERC Reliability Standards to determine if there were any potential gaps or improvements. The IRPTF identified several issues as part of this effort and documented its findings and recommendations in the “IRPTF Review of NERC Reliability Standards White Paper," which was approved in March 2020, by the Operating Committee and the Planning Committee (now part of the Reliability and Security Technical Committee (RSTC)). Among the findings noted in the white paper, the IRPTF identified issues with MOD-026-1 and MOD-027-1 that should be addressed. The RSTC endorsed the SAR on June 10, 2020.
Consistent with the IRPTF recommendations, the scope of the proposed SAR includes revisions to NERC Reliability Standards MOD-026-1 and MOD-027-1. Standards MOD-026-1 and MOD-027- 1 require, among other things, Generator Owners to provide verified dynamic models to their Transmission Planner for the purposes of power system planning studies. Both standards contain language that is specific to synchronous generators that is not applicable to IBRs. The IRPTF recommended revisions to clarify the applicable requirements for synchronous generators and IBRs. As such, the SAR proposes revisions to MOD-026-1 and MOD-027-1 to clarify requirements related to IBRs and to require sufficient model verification to ensure accurate generator representation in dynamic simulations. The Standards Committee accepted the SAR and authorized posting at its September 24, 2020, meeting.
