NERC Standard BAL-002-0 — Disturbance Control Performance

• Date: April 13, 2010
• Source: www.nerc.com

The purpose of the Disturbance Control Standard (DCS) is to ensure the Balancing Authority is able to utilize its Contingency Reserve to balance resources and demand and return Interconnection frequency within defined limits following a Reportable Disturbance. Because generator failures are far more common than significant losses of load and because Contingency Reserve activation does not typically apply to the loss of load, the application of  DCS is limited to the loss of supply and does not apply to the loss of load.

Effective Date: This rule is effective April 1, 2005
