Background

IVGTF Report (Task 1-7), Dec. 2013– Gives a solid rationale for ride-through requirements for all

DER, regardless of size or technology– In the short-term, NERC should engage in current efforts to

revise DER interconnection standards Recommends explicit low and high voltage & frequency

ride-through requirements Gives “examples” for VRT and FRT curves / tables

– In the longer-term, NERC should establish a coordination mechanism with IEEE Standard 1547 … ???

NERC PRC-024-2, Jan. 2015– Standard for Generator Frequency and Voltage Protective

Relay Settings– Limited to NERC jurisdiction, i.e., Bulk Electric System I4,

Dispersed power producing resources: > 75 MVA (gross nameplate rating) PCC at a voltage of 100 kV or above

– Not an explicit ride-through standard! Units may trip due to internal protection functions, e.g.,

out-of-step, loss-of-field, instab. in pwr. conv. ctrl. equipm.

What are the related NERC activities / publications?

EPRI‘s Recommended Minimum Requirements & Settings

Recommendations should be technology-neutral

Guiding principles for frequency ride-through were– DER should not be tripped before under-frequency load

shedding (UFLS) is fully activated and before the frequency is restored following a major disturbance;

– DER should not be tripped during over-frequency events likely to occur during contingency situations;

– DER should comply with a minimum ride-through requirement

No droop characteristic (frequency-watt) as a minimum requirement, rather an advanced requirement

EPRI‘s Recommended Minimum Requirements & Settings

Recommendations should be technology-neutral

Guiding principles for voltage ride-through– Consider the geographic extension of a voltage dip at bulk system

level and the affected DER capacity;– Consider the voltage dip propagation from bulk system to

distribution level;– Minimum trip times and LVRT duration should consider bulk system

fault clearing times for both normally cleared faults (by primary protection) and stuck breaker faults cleared with delay (by remote backup);

– Keep the impact of LVRT requirements on the Area EPS as low as possible;

– Ensure a fast restoration of pre-fault real power output after disturbances.

Conclusions

NERC’s IVGTF Report (Task 1-7), Dec. 2013, has set the scene for voltage & frequency ride-through requirements;

CA Rule 21 and HECO’s F/VRT requirements are leading, but IEEE Standard 1547 is speeding up thanks to involvement of EPRI;

EPRI proposes minimum requirements & settings for voltage and frequency ride-through of DER and engages in discussions with relevant stakeholders;

These minimum requirements could define the baseline of F/VRT in IEEE 1547rev-20xx to address both bulk and distribution system needs;– Advanced requirements could be defined in “higher” performance classes;

How to further coordinate NERC input with the revision of the IEEE Standard 1547?

Measure 4• Frequency nadir as a function of unit trip size

at similar load (net load) conditions;• For example, low net load conditions are of

interest since synchronous inertia is lower and less generators with governors in service are available.

• Other system conditions may also be of interest

Inertial and Frequency Response Estimator tool (IFRET)

• Estimates inertial frequency response to disturbance in MW/0.1 Hz• Allows in real time to estimate Point A to Point C frequency deviation for a

generation trip• Uses real time information about committed conventional generation (H

and MVA), system load data, wind penetration (as % of load), available spinning reserves

• Uses linear equations (e.g. see previous slide) obtained from historical generation trip events at similar set of conditions.

• Can provide System Operator with better awareness of the potential frequency deviation due to loss of a unit.

• Can be used as a decision support tool. The System Operator can commit additional units to provide adequate Inertia support in normal operations based on IFRET result.

• During 2010, IFRET was running in the control room, since Nodal Market the tool has been used intermittently, needs update with recent frequency events.
