Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. The purpose of the technical conference is to examine whether the Commission should reconsider or modify the reactive power provisions of Order No. 661–A and examine what evidence could be developed under Order No. 661 to support a request to apply reactive power requirements more broadly than to individual wind generators during the interconnection study process. Agenda for the Technical Conference on Reactive Power Resources srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AD12–10 April 17, 2012 9 a.m.–9:15 a.m. Greeting and Opening Remarks. 9:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Discussion of Reactive Power in Interconnection Studies. This panel will discuss: • Methods used to determine the reactive power requirements for a transmission system, and • How system impact and system planning studies take into account changes in technologies connected to the system. • What evidence could be developed to support a request to apply reactive power requirements more broadly than to individual wind generators during the interconnection study process.
