PJM Operating Committee (OC)
The PJM Independent Market Monitor found that modeling issues were the largest cause of synchronized reserve underperformance during a July 22 spin event, in which about 80% of assigned reserves responded.
PJM’s winter outlook found the RTO should have enough resources to meet the forecast peak load of 145,700 MW, although the reserve margin continues to decline as new resource development lags.
Stakeholders in the PJM Operating Committee have endorsed manual revisions reflecting the creation of modeling users forum.
PJM's Operating Committee heard an update on the Aug. 11 load-shedding event in Baltimore, which brought 20 MW offline for about half an hour following equipment failures at the Brandon Shores substation
PJM’s Kevin Hatch presented an update on how two heat waves between July 14-17 and 23-30 affected PJM operations, which involved multiple demand response deployments and emergency alerts and advisories.
PJM presented manual revisions to reflect the generation deactivation process stakeholders approved in January.
PJM saw its highest peak loads in over a decade during a heat wave that stressed the Mid-Atlantic region from June 22 to 26.
The month of May saw one spin event to PJM, a shared reserve event, three high-system-voltage actions and 24 post-contingency local load relief warnings, according to the RTO’s monthly operating metrics.
The preliminary results of PJM’s look ahead at the capacity available for this summer and the expected peak loads suggest that about 5.4 GW of demand response could be needed to maintain the 3.5-GW real-time primary reserve requirement.
The Operating Committee endorsed a pair of manual revisions and heard an update on the implementation of PJM’s regulation market redesign.
