NERC integrating variable generation task force (IVGTF) interconnection and operating tasks

This paper reviews six IVGTF tasks related to interconnection and operating requirements, and provides a report on their objectives, milestones and status. The three interconnection tasks are: Interconnection Requirements Enhancement (Task 1.3); Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) Requirements (Task 1.7); and Balancing Authority (BA) Communications (Task 2.2). The three operating tasks are: Incorporating Forecasting in Operations (Task 2.1); Ancillary Services and Balancing Area Solutions (Task 2.3); and Operating Practices, Procedures and Tools (Task 2.4). These tasks are part of a larger series of thirteen tasks identified in Phase 1 of the IVGTF work, and further described in the companion panel session papers.
