Set. pdf

Renewable Energy Modeling. NERC Standards • NERC Standards attempt to be technology neutral – no exclusion for renewable energy • Needs - Renewable energy models o that can be used in multiple programs, and o Can be distributed to those doing studies throughout the interconnection o the approved model list provides 4
