Completed
Frequency Response Standard PI: Martinez, Carlos NERC BAL-003-1 (Frequency Response Standard) has two main objectives: To require sufficient Frequency Response from the Balancing Authority (BA) to maintain Interconnection Frequency within predefined bounds by arresting frequency deviations and...
Phasor Measurement Unit Testing and Documentation PI: Martin, Ken The goal of the proposed research work is to develop a universally accepted test plan that would support the DOE and NIST efforts for phasor measurement and testing.

Load-Generation Control Performance Standards (NERC BAL-001 and BAL-002) PI: Martinez, Carlos The purpose of BAL-001(-1) (Real Power Balancing Control Performance) is to maintain Interconnection steady-state frequency within defined limits by balancing real power demand and supply in real time. The purpose of BAL-002(-1) (Disturbance Control...
NERC Load-Generation-Reserves Reliability Control, Standards, and Performance PI: Martinez, Carlos PI: Carrera, Frank PI: Xue, Song This project provides research and technical support to the NERC Reliability Standards Drafting Teams (SDT) and Reliability Subcommittees, Resource Subcommittee, and RS-Frequency Working Group to identify and quantify reliability performance issues and...
