Interconnection requirements review

To maintain system reliability on an ongoing basis, changes are required to the ISO interconnection requirements to accommodate increasing amounts of variable generation. This initiative proposes modifications to the operating power factor, voltage control, disturbance ride through, and generation management parameters for asynchronous generators, such as wind and solar resources. These requirements will be incorporated in interconnection agreements, if approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and will make the technical requirements for these variable generation technologies more consistent with those of conventional generators.
