Frequency Response Initiative
Robert W. CummingsDirector of System Analysis and Reliability InitiativesNERC Standing CommitteesSeptember 14-15, 2010
2FRI Objectives Coordinate all NERC standards development and
performance analysis activities related to frequency response and control
Identify specific frequency-related reliability factors Identify root causes of changes in frequency
response Identify practices and methods to address root
causes Consider impacts of integration of new generation
technologies (such as wind, solar, and significant nuclear expansion)
3FRI Objectives Develop metrics and benchmarks to improve
frequency response performance tracking Share lessons learned with the industry via
outreach, alerts, and webinars Determine if performance-based frequency
response standards are warranted

GOs• Start: November 1, 2010• Target End Date: September 30, 2011
Some Frequency Control Initial Findings
No system wide tuning strategy being employed Prior to interconnections of systems, it was
necessary to tune each governor to regulate system frequency in isolation
The necessity of stable isolated governing has given way in many cases to faster load ramping or AGC control
