3 ERCOT PMU locations 76 PMUs at 35 locations PMUs at 44 locations 2017 Jan 2017 Operating guides also requires all new generators above 20 MVA to install PMUs and as directed TSPs will install on key interfaces

4 Big Data 4 SCADA data 128,792 PI data 600,000 pts 103 PMUs currently Voltage magnitude/angle data (phase) Voltage magnitude/angle data (sequence) Current magnitude/angle data (phase) Current magnitude/angle data (sequence) Frequency and df/dt Real power (calculated value) Reactive power (calculated value) For example If the phasor data reporting rate is 30 samples per second, then the count of samples expected for duration of 1 hour is equal to samples.

5 Bandwidth needed for data transmission of synchrophasor data using the C protocol (unencrypted) 5 Data rate Frames/s 5 Phasors 1 Analog, (integer) 10 Phasors, 4 Analog, 2 digital, (integer) 10 Phasors, 4 Analog, 2 digital, (floating point) bps 8400 bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps

6 Data Retention 6 ERCOT data retention consists of maintaining 400 days of full fidelity phasor data. ERCOT data retention of full fidelity phasor data gathered during system events extends indefinitely The NERC PRC Reliability Standard requires a minimum 10 calendar day data retention window. NERC MOD-026 and MOD-027 Reliability Standards require a minimum 3 year data retention window. ERCOT Nodal Operating Guide section 6 requires disturbance data retention for three years.

9 ERCOT PMU USE CASES

10 10 ERCOT current benefits of PMU data Within the ERCOT region, the three most beneficial applications, or use cases, identified by ERCOT are: 1. Generator oscillation detection and alarming a. Adds functionality not provided by SCADA or State Estimator b. Addresses RC visibility for localized and Inter-area oscillations 2. Generator model validation a. Supports MOD Exciter model verification b. Supports MOD Turbine/governor model verification c. Addresses requirements for TP and GO 3. Post-disturbance analysis and reporting a. Supports (future) PRC Disturbance monitoring and reporting requirements b. Applies to TOs, GOs, ERCOT

17 Generator Parameter Determination Need: PMU data (Voltage Phasor, P & Q) can advise generator dynamic response following a nearby transient, compares results to simulated response (based on system planning models), and alerts if differences are significant (meaning that the generator response to the transient event was different from what was expected) EXAMPLE: PMU DATA USED TO VALIDATE AND CALIBRATE GENERATOR MODELS Possible Action: Advance Network Applications expert or System Planning dynamics expert reviews the event and the generator response differences, and if necessary, triggers the capture of the current grid state for further study System Planning dynamics expert coordinates with generator owner to investigate the reasons for unexpected generator response System Planning Dynamics Working Group utilizes the apparent unit parameters and system response data to tune/benchmark the dynamic model associated with the unit in the ERCOT DWG dynamic dataset

21 Questions to be answered Are we too far ahead of regulators? How is the build out of PMU network paid for? How/when does CIP apply to ERCOT? To MPs? Will the current infrastructure support PMU network? Can we connect to Network Model to use with ERCOT systems? Can we identify and evaluate new use cases. Change direction if necessary? What are the requirements to successfully run SE using PMU data? How will we store PMU data at ERCOT? How long do we need to keep it? PUBLIC 2 1
