Aug 20, 2015 · Reactive Power profile is depicted graphically as a rectangle. For Intermittent Renewable Resources (IRRs), the Reactive Power requirements shall be available at all MW output levels at or above 10% of the IRR’s nameplate capacity.

Jul 1, 2024 · Guides the IEs and REs through the process for creating a request to interconnect a resource to the ERCOT electrical grid. Facilitates the collection of information for batteries, and Self-Limiting Facilities and DC-Coupled Resources that include batteries.

Aug 20, 2015 · The Reactive Power verification is intended to define the limits of the unit’s Reactive Power capabilities. If a unit has no leading capability, then it should be reported with no leading capability; or the minimum lagging

This document provides guidelines for performing a reactive power study for generation resources connecting to the ERCOT grid. It outlines the required documentation, operating points to study, and describes the study process.

(c) Reactive Power capability shall be available at all MW output levels and may be met through a combination of the Generation Resource's Unit Reactive Limit (URL), which is the generating unit's dynamic leading and lagging operating

vii) Reactive Power Requirements - Generation resources must be capable of producing a defined quantity of reactive power to maintain a Voltage Profile established by ERCOT Nodal Protocol 3.15.

All generating units shall maintain the transmission voltage at the point of interconnection to the transmission grid as directed by ERCOT within the operating reactive power capability of the unit(s). At all times a generating unit is on line, the required installed reactive capability must be available for utilization at the generating unit's ...

Reactive capability is the ability of a generator unit to supply/absorb reactive power (MVAR) to the grid continuously for a given MW operating value without damaging the unit. Reactive power is required to control voltage under normal and emergency situations in order to prevent voltage collapse of the grid.

Oct 9, 2024 · Instantaneous reactive power output of the plant should quickly respond to oppose the voltage step change for each of the 3% voltage step changes, with an initial peak reactive power change of at least 0.03 pu on the rated power. Note: Reactive power does not return to the pre disturbance level within 6 cycles.

Jan 15, 2018 · The Reactive Power Capability, AVR, PSS and Governor Performance tests are the final step before commissioning of a Resource. These tests are described in the ERCOT Operating Guides sections 2.2.5 (AVR), 2.2.6 Power System Stabilizers, 2.2.7 (Turbine governors), and 3.3.2.2 – 3.3.2.3(Reactive testing).
