Background
On November 27, 2018, the NERC Operating Committee (OC) and Planning Committee (PC) submitted a Standard Authorization Request (SAR) prepared by the Inverter-Based Resource Performance Task Force (IRPTF), which reports to the OC and PC.
Based off the analyses of the Blue Cut Fire and Canyon 2 Fire disturbances in southern California along with the development of the PRC-024-2 Gaps Whitepaper, the IRPTF identified potential modifications to PRC-024-2 to ensure that inverter-based generator owners, operators, developers, and equipment manufacturers understand the intent of the standard in order for their plants to respond to grid disturbances in a manner that contributes to the reliable operation of the BPS.
The standard drafting team developed the proposed modifications in PRC-024-3 to address the issues in the SAR.
Standard(s) Affected – PRC-024-2
