ERCOT Waiver for CPS2
ERCOT requested a Waiver for CPS2.
Stating that it “does not believe that frequency
control within its new single control area
interconnection is less reliable as a result of noncompliance with the CPS2 Standard following its
conversion.”
NERC granted the request November 21, 2002.

FERC NOPR on Mandatory Reliability Standards
● Docket No. RM06-16-000, October 20, 2006
● Paragraphs 137-143
● Paragraph 141
• ERCOT’s Protocols concerning frequency control identify that the
existing ERCOT approach to Interconnection frequency control is
necessary to assure reliability in that interconnection. However,
the existing waiver was filed prior to the formation of these
procedures. ERCOT is both a single balancing authority and the
smallest of the three Interconnections, approximately one tenth of
the size of the Eastern Interconnection. As such, frequency control
is more critical to its system reliability.

Regional Standard Development
● Between March 16, 2007 and April 15, 2008, Texas RE
was getting organized and getting the processes and
procedures, as well as staff, ready for development of
standards.
● Texas RE launched its Reliability Standards Tracking
system in April 2008.
● Standard Authorization Request written by TRE April
15, 2008.

SDT Work Product
● A draft Regional Standard consistent with the
SAR on which it was based.
● An assessment of the impact of the SAR on
neighboring regions and appropriate input from
the neighboring regions if the SAR is determined
to impact any neighboring region.
● Identification of any existing Regional Standard
(or Protocols) that will be deleted, in part or whole,
or otherwise impacted by the implementation of
the draft Standard.
15
SDT Work Product (Cont.)
● Technical reports and/or work papers that provide
technical support for the draft Regional Standard
under consideration.
● Document the perceived reliability impact should
the Regional Standard be approved.
● SDT is also responsible for developing all
required compliance and performance elements
and associated questions for a Comment Form.
● An implementation plan, including the nature,
extent and duration of field-testing, if any.
16
Draft BAL-001-TRE-01
● The SAR-003 Standard Drafting Team will now
present the technical background and need for
this standard.
● Your questions are appreciated, and the team
will make every effort to answer them today.
● But don’t forget to formally comment using
the Reliability Standards Tracking Site.
