The original NERC was formed on June 1, 1968, by the electric utility industry to promote the reliability and adequacy of bulk power transmission in the electric utility systems of North America. NERC's mission states that it "is to assure the effective and efficient reduction of risks to the reliability and security of the grid". [4]
One of the important roles of an RE is suggesting to NERC (and FERC) to include the facilities into - or exclude from - the list of "elements" that constitute the bulk-power system (BPS, also known as a "bulk electric system", BES), subject to the oversight of the NERC.
The Texas Reliability Entity (Texas RE) is one of the six Regional Entities under North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) authority. Each Regional Entity is tasked with compliance, monitoring, and enforcement on the behalf of NERC to ensure bulk power system reliability.
The earliest NERC Tag application was based on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and was introduced in 1997.The form was usually completed by the power marketers or schedulers, by defining the date and time of the transaction, the physical path of the energy schedule from its point of generation to point of consumption, the financial path (buying/selling chain) of the energy schedule, the hourly ...
The following table lists a number of terms that are used in the United States for residential energy audits. AFUE—annual fuel utilization efficiency; BTL—building tightness limit (building tightness) CDH—cooling degree hours (climate) CFL—compact fluorescent light; COP—coefficient of performance; CRI—color rendering index
Six NERC Regional Entities in 2021. ReliabilityFirst (RF) is one of the six Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)-approved regional entities responsible for ensuring the reliability of the North American Bulk-Power System, pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005. [1]
NPCC also has ties to non-NERC systems in eastern Canada. In terms of load served, NPCC accounts for 20% of the Eastern interconnection's total load demand, and 70% of Canada's entire demand. The Hydro-Québec system, which encompasses all of Québec, is commonly [ when? ] considered [ by whom? ] part of the Eastern Interconnection, even though ...
The choice of term emphasizes the fact that a single fault can cause severe damage to the system so quickly that the operator will not have time to intervene, and therefore a reaction to the fault has to be defensively pre-built into the system configuration. [5] Some sources use the term interchangeably with "disturbance" and "fault". [2]
