Welcome to the North American Generator Forum
The North American Generator Forum (NAGF) was founded in 2009 as a vehicle for generator owners and/or operators to address issues related to registration, compliance, standards development and other NERC-related topics. In 2013, the North American Generator Forum, Inc. became a non-profit, dues-based corporation.
RECENT ACTIVITY
PRC-024-3 Draft Standard Issue with proposed trip time delay
: "This was posted on the ERTF Reliability Page, I was wondering if any NAGF members were willing to share their vote or comments on this, comments and vote due Friday
I am concerned with the proposed change in PRC-024-3 draft reliability standard regarding the Frequency Instantaneous Trip to a 0.1 second (6-cycle) delay. Given the historical H..."
Annual Meeting RE roundtable topics
: "NAGF members,
At this year's Annual Meeting and Compliance Conference, we (the planning committee) are inviting members of the Regional Entities to sit on a round table/panel discussion. What questions do you have or topics would you like them to cover? We are asking you for these preview questions/topics so they can ensure they send the proper ..."
MOD-026/027 R4 Implementation Date
: "I just sent this blast:
We have a question on the enforcement dates for the requirements on MOD-026 and MOD-027.
The enforcement date given for all requirements except R2 is 7/1/14, with R2 having phased in dates. This has led to the question of if R4 is enforceable even if a verified model hasn't been submitted to the TP per R2. That is.."
Self Reporting Submittal Time Frame
: "Has anyone had problems with the 3-month self-reporting submittal time frame suggested in NERC's latest Registered Entity Self-Report and Mitigation Plan User Guide? We have run into situations where the gathering of relevant information and Legal team review takes more time than this - and are naturally reluctant to issue an incomplete report ..."
PRC-025 Compliance
: "In the PRC-025 calculations, it says to use the maximum gross real power capability reported to the Transmission Planner for the P(reported) value in the calculations. If we took the PF X Generator_Namplate to get P_reported_value, is this sufficient?
I am going through our units and came across one site whose GVCT test exceeded PF*Generat..."
Estimate to Purchase/Install Dynamic Data Recorder
: "One of my plants has been identified to install a dynamic data recorder per PRC-002 notification. No existing DDR exists at the site now. Has anyone gone down this road already and would be willing to offer a rough estimate of the total cost of the installation (purchase, installation, configuration, etc.)?
Many thanks

PRC-005-6 - battery micro-ohm metering
: "The IEEE-450 Std calls out a distinction between "intercell" and "terminal" resistance, both of which require verification under PRC-005. The cell resistance metering tool that we have been using, however, doesn't provide a clean way to denote an arbitrary set of post-to-lug readings (for example, those recommended under IEEE 450-2010 Annex F.9)..."
