ERCOT Primary Frequency Response Verification
Measured governor response laid over the simulated model response, with a cited verdict for the verification package.
About this module
What this module covers.
Verifies your plant's Primary Frequency Response (PFR) governor model - droop, deadband, and rolling Real Power Frequency Response (RPFR) behavior - against staged frequency-disturbance test results, per ERCOT Nodal Operating Guide (NOG) Section 2.2.7 and Nodal Protocols Section 8.5. The workflow overlays the measured governor response against the simulated model response and produces a citation-backed verdict for the parameter verification package.
Module: 062
Kind: Modeling studies
Governing body: ERCOT
Applies to: Operating plants
Typical time: Two to three weeks, all in, including your review
Dashboard capabilities
- Automated Compliance Workflow for ERCOT PFR (NOG Section 2.2.7; Nodal Protocols Section 8.5)
- Model Workspace Management: your plant's simulation model files kept in one dashboard workspace, with version tracking
- PSS/E Simulations
- PSCAD Simulations
- Measured-vs-simulated governor-response overlay
Support services
What GridStrong does inside this module.
- Receive the staged primary frequency response test data and the governor settings in force at the time of the test.
- Verify the governor model (droop, deadband and rolling RPFR behavior) against the measured response.
- Overlay the measured governor response against the simulated model response and record the verdict with its citations.
Final deliverables
- PFR model verification report for the parameter verification package, with the measured-versus-simulated overlay and verdict.
What we need from you
- Staged frequency-disturbance test recordings.
- Governor and plant controller frequency response settings.
- PSS/E and PSCAD models of the plant.
