ERCOT System Operating Limit (SOL) Methodology
This document describes the methodology for establishing System Operating Limits (SOLs), and the subset of SOLs classified as Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits (IROLs), for the operations time horizon within the ERCOT Interconnection. This methodology contains all content required by FAC-011-4. It also addresses necessary communications of the SOL Methodology, the methods of communication of the SOLs themselves (including the subset of SOLs that qualify as IROLs), and required communications between ERCOT ISO, Transmission Planners, Transmission Operators, and other affected entities.
