ERCOT Reactive Capability Review
A rule-by-rule power factor envelope verdict from the submitted capability curve, in place of a hand check.
About this module
What this module covers.
Automates the ERCOT Nodal Protocols Section 3.15(4) reactive-capability review for a Generation Resource or Energy Storage Resource (ESR) providing Voltage Support Service. From your submitted capability curve the workflow returns a deterministic power-factor-envelope verdict - the lagging and leading power factor envelope at maximum net power, rectangle coverage by resource type, the self-limiting anchor, and the low-MW structural rules - instead of hand-checking each criterion.
Module: 063
Kind: Modeling studies
Governing body: ERCOT
Applies to: Before and after commercial operation
Typical time: Two to three weeks, all in, including your review
Dashboard capabilities
- Automated Compliance Workflow for ERCOT Reactive Capability (Nodal Protocols Section 3.15(4))
- Power-factor-envelope screening from a submitted capability curve
Support services
What GridStrong does inside this module.
- Run the Nodal Protocols Section 3.15(4) checks on your submitted capability curve: the lagging and leading power factor envelope at maximum net power, rectangle coverage by resource type, the self-limiting anchor and the low-MW structural rules.
- Return a cited verdict on each criterion in place of a hand check.
Final deliverables
- Reactive capability review with a rule-by-rule power factor envelope verdict and its citations.
What we need from you
- The capability curve submitted for the resource.
- The resource type (Generation Resource or Energy Storage Resource) and its maximum net power.
