SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
FERC–725X, Mandatory Reliability
Standards: Voltage and Reactive (VAR)
Standards.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0278.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–725X information
collection requirements with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: Pursuant to Section 215 of
the Federal Power Act (FPA), NERC
established the Voltage and Reactive
(‘‘VAR’’) group of Reliability Standards,
which consists of two continent-wide
Reliability Standards, VAR–001–4 and
VAR–002–3. These two standards were
designed to maintain voltage stability on
the Bulk-Power System, protect
transmission, generation, distribution,
and customer equipment, and support
the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power
System. Voltage stability is the ability of
a power system to maintain acceptable
voltage levels throughout the system
under normal operating conditions and
following a disturbance. Failure to
maintain acceptable voltage levels (i.e.,
voltage levels become too high or too
low) may cause violations of System
Operating Limits (‘‘SOLs’’) and
Interconnection Reliability Operating
Limits (‘‘IROLs’’), result in damage to
Bulk-Power System equipment, and
PO 00000
Frm 00017

thereby threaten the reliable operation
of the Bulk-Power System.
Reliability Standard VAR–001–4 1
• Specify a system-wide voltage
schedule (which is either a range or a
target value with an associated tolerance
band) as part of its plan to operate
within SOLs and IROLs, and to provide
the voltage schedule to its Reliability
Coordinator and adjacent Transmission
Operators upon request (Requirement
R1);
• Schedule sufficient reactive
resources to regulate voltage levels
(Requirement R2);
• Operate or direct the operation of
devices to regulate transmission voltage
and reactive flows (Requirement R3);
• Develop a set of criteria to exempt
generators from certain requirements
under Reliability Standard VAR–002–3
related to voltage or Reactive Power
schedules, automatic voltage
regulations, and notification
(Requirement R4);
• Specify a voltage or Reactive Power
schedule (which is either a range or a
target value with an associated tolerance
band) for generators at either the high or
low voltage side of the generator stepup transformer, provide the schedule to
the associated Generator Operator,
direct the Generator Operator to comply
with that schedule in automatic voltage
control mode, provide the Generator
Operator the notification requirements
for deviating from the schedule, and, if
requested, provide the Generator
Operator the criteria used to develop the
schedule (Requirement R5); and
• Communicate step-up transformer
tap changes, the time frame for
completion, and the justification for
these changes to Generator Owners
(Requirement R6).
Reliability Standard VAR–002–3 2
• Operate each of its generators
connected to the interconnected
transmission system in automatic
voltage control mode or in a different
control mode as instructed by the
Transmission Operator, unless the
Generator Operator (1) is exempted
pursuant to the criteria developed under
VAR–001–4, Requirement R4, or (2)
makes certain notifications to the
Transmission Operator specifying the
reasons it cannot so operate
(Requirement R1);
• Maintain the Transmission
Operator’s generator voltage or Reactive
Power schedule, unless the Generator
Operator (1) is exempted pursuant to the
criteria developed under VAR–001–4,
