NERC’s proposed reliability standard addressing IBR ride-through protection is undergoing a re-ballot in hopes of gaining enough industry support for passage as the ERO’s Board of Trustees prepares to meet.

FERC last week approved settlements by NPCC and ReliabilityFirst leveraging $490,000 in penalties for violations of NERC reliability standards.

NERC's inverter-based resources ride-through standard will go out for industry comments and ballots, Standards Committee Chair Todd Bennett told members.

NERC held a technical conference hoping to address the issues that have blocked the passage of a standard on ride-through requirements for inverter-based resources.

NERC staff had to "hit the ground running" after the Board of Trustees ordered a technical conference on inverter-based resource standards, the Standards Committee heard.

NERC's Board of Trustees invoked its authority to accelerate standards development for the first time at this week's meeting in Vancouver.

ReliabilityFirst's penalty settlement comes as the Twin Ridges facility transitions to its third owner in four years.

NERC's Standards Committee moved ahead on several projects that are the subject of FERC orders at its monthly Standards Committee meeting.

Facility ratings accounted for two reliability standard violations carrying a total penalty of $272,000.

FERC accepted the retirement of a requirement that industry found confusing in previous versions of the standard.
