1.0 Introduction The simultaneous activation of ten-minute reserve (SAR) is a program in which two or more Balancing Authorities agree to individually maintain but jointly activate ten-minute reserve to facilitate a more rapid recovery fro...
AI summary The ten-minute reserve (SAR) program allows Balancing Authorities to maintain and jointly activate reserve capacity for rapid recovery from NPCC reportable events. Participation requires approval from TFCO and forming an electrically contiguous area. SAR is not a Reserve Sharing Group under NERC, and contingent Balancing Authorities are responsible for DCS recovery requirements.
2.0 Objectives - 2.1 To mitigate the impact of an evolving event. - 2.2 To alert other Balancing Authorities and Reliability Coordinators when any Balancing Authority is deficient operating reserve , or anticipates being deficient in ten-m...
AI summary The objectives outlined focus on mitigating impacts of evolving events, alerting Balancing Authorities and Reliability Coordinators about deficiencies in operating and ten-minute reserves, enhancing reliability through resource coordination, and restoring normal operations.
4.0 Actions to Mitigate Thirty-Minute Reserve Shortages 4.1 Actions When Becoming Deficient in Thirty-Minute Reserve To minimize the magnitude and duration of a thirty-minute reserve deficiency, a Balancing Authority may implement any or a...
AI summary This section outlines actions a Balancing Authority can take to address a thirty-minute reserve shortage, including obtaining external resources, recalling planned outages, converting exports, and counting interruptible load and voltage reduction as reserve.
1.3 Allocation of SAR The SAR Coordinator shall assign 100% of the contingency to the contingent and assisting Balancing Authorities collectively. The SAR Coordinator shall assign allocations to the assisting Balancing Authorities that are...
AI summary The SAR Coordinator is responsible for allocating 100% of the contingency to the contingent and assisting Balancing Authorities, ensuring that no Balancing Authority is asked to provide more assistance than necessary to meet its first contingency loss. SAR participants may activate additional reserve beyond allocations to ensure ten-minute reserve is successfully provided.
