Are you NERC Compliant?

What is NERC compliance? Every entity must register with NERC through its regional entity. Grids are becoming more complex. New technologies are expanding. As such, NERC is aggressively enforcing existing and introducing new requirements. They are also adjusting the frequency of compliance reporting. By federal law, NERC is authorized to monitor and assess company compliance status. They can also issue sanctions and/or fines for non-compliance.

Did you know all generation, transmission, and distribution owners—that are a part of the bulk electrical system—must comply with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards? Check out our NERC Compliance Engineering Services to learn more.

NERC Compliance Testing

NERC Compliance standards MOD-025-2, MOD-026-1 and MOD-027-1 provide an accurate representation of the steady state and dynamic response of generating units for power systems simulations. It’s a challenging task. And Wells Engineering will assist you through the whole process.

Validation is vital of a generating unit’s active and reactive capability, as well as excitation system and turbine/governor controls dynamic models. Vital to the operations, planning, security and reliability of power systems. For more information, check out our NERC compliance services and NERC compliance testing.

NERC Compliance Solutions for Protection and Control of GT&D Resources

nerc compliance solutions

The foundation of power system network reliability lies with the functionality of its protection and control schemes.

Proper protection and control schemes, in compliance with NERC PRC studies, provide the reactionary component—disconnecting the portion of the network under fault, while delivering during high load demands. For NERC compliance services and NERC compliance testing, get in touch with us.
