Disturbance Control Standard-Contingency Reserve for Recovery From a Balancing Contingency Event Reliability Standard
The Commission approves Reliability Standard BAL-002-2 (Disturbance Control StandardContingency Reserve for Recovery from a Balancing Contingency Event) submitted by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).
