8. Dynamic Modeling Data
Provide with this form the WECC approved (and if applicable, recommended) standard dynamic models for generation facilities, including any additional dynamic reactive control devices.
- Models Attached, including the power system model in a text-editable format.
- Include plant volt/var control function model and active power/frequency control function model.
- All the associated files for dynamic modeling should be in a format consistent with NERC’s Reliability Guidelines (BPS--Connected Inverter-Based Resource Performance), the document produced by NERC by this title, or its Standard Large Generator Interconnection Procedures 8 Rev 1, Anticipated Effective Date 06/22/2026 successor document, which contain guidelines for the operation of invertor-based resources. The files must be shareable on an interconnection-wide basis to support use in the interconnection-wide cases.
- Model parameters for inverters shall include:
- Voltage response and ride-thru settings.
- Frequency response and ride-thru settings.
- Control mode (voltage control for POI >100 kV, power factor control for POI < 100 kV).
- Any plant-level real power limits
Grant PUD requires the solar installation to align with the recommended performance characteristics and other recommendations related to inverter-based resource performance, analysis, and modeling as identified by NERC’s Inverter-Based Resource Performance Joint Task Force and to conform to all NERC requirements.
