NPRR707  Provision of Transmission System Voltage Telemetry to QSEs

This Nodal Protocol Revision Request (NPRR) requires ERCOT to provide, upon request, transmission system voltage at each Generation Resource Point of Interconnection (POI) to the transmission system through telemetry via Inter-Control Center Communications Protocol (ICCP). This is necessary for the Generation Resource to comply with the latest version of North American Electric Reliability Corportation (NERC) Standard VAR-002-3, Generator Operation for Maintaining Network Voltage Schedules. Paragraph R2, 2.3, requires generation operators to monitor the voltage at the location specified in their voltage schedule. This data is readily available from ERCOT and provision of this data should not violate any of the provisions of Nodal Protocol Section 1.3, Confidentiality.
