Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Jan 15, 2013
Sponsor: ERCOT
Urgent: No
Sections: 2.2, 5.1.2, 5.4.1, 5.4.2, 5.4.2.1, 5.4.5.1, 5.7.5
Description: This Planning Guide Revision Request (PGRR) describes how ERCOT will act to protect the ERCOT Transmission Grid from Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) oscillations since installation of multiple series compensated transmission lines has increased ERCOT’s vulnerability to such oscillations.
Reason: With the addition of multiple series compensated transmission lines to the ERCOT Transmission Grid, the ERCOT System has become vulnerable to much higher risk of SSR between series compensated lines and other Transmission Elements. Type 3 wind turbines (duel feed induction generators) are more vulnerable than most other Transmission Elements to this condition. The combination of series compensated lines and Type 3 wind turbines in the Competitive Renewable Energy Zone (CREZ) transmission zones makes procedures to protect against this reliability problem critical. This PGRR will provide for these procedures.
