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.

We provide entities who are generator owners and operators in North America a means to collaborate and communicate with FERC, NERC, the Regional Entities, the Canadian Provinces and other organizations with missions similar to ours, with the ultimate goal of improving the reliability of the bulk power system.

RECENT ACTIVITY

Said: : "One thing that I should have mentioned is that I represent the GO and the TP submits their own documentation for the FAC-008-3 standard. So, during the audit we go in together and I present my information and then the TP presents theirs."
Said: : "KCPL has been audited on the FAC-008-3 standard and I made up a spreadsheet to include the equipment from the generator to the tie with the transmission system. The ratings are listed with the most limiting component identified. I added...
Said: : "The NATF MOD-032 reference document is a public document and is on the natf site at http://www.natf.net/public-documents/. I would include an equipment ratings documentation in the Steady State page. It might make sense to ask the NATF...
Said: : "Karin - We used our consultant to help build our template for this, and the auditors seem to really like it. If you have an interest, send me an email and I can share his contact info with you."
Said: : "I will contact Ed Ernst to see if they would approved this to be shared"
Said: : "Thanks, Chris. I have looked on the NATF web site but have not been able to find it. We aren't a NATF member so it's possible that I don't have access. Is it something you can provide? Hopefully being a NAGF member makes it ok to have the...
Said: : "My suggestion is to start with the Standard Model Data sheet developed by the NATF MOD group and add any equipment not already addressed such as bus, relaying and GCB limitations. All this info needs to be consistent with the modeled ass...
Said: : "Much appreciated, Carl!"
Said: : "Don, I agree with your thoughts on the RSAW. Are you planning to submit comments? Still not completely sure what happens to RSAW comments once they are submitted, but this would be the time to get them in. Would you mind sharing if you ar...
Said: : "Hello Karin, We are currently revamping all our tables. I have a few different versions but I don't currently have one I am happy enough with to recommend it. I'll keep tabs on this, and if we finish soon I'll be happy to pass on what w...
Said: : "Thanks Don for pointing out the Technical Basis and Guidelines on page 9 point out exactly what the SDT intended for the Standard."
Said: : "PER-006-1 strikes us as being well written and completely acceptable in its present form. The problem is that the RSAW seems to be headed in a different direction by saying that "The documentation provided, including training if provided...
Said: : "The advantage of PER-006 over a PER-005 revision is that you only have to train plant operators on Protection System. You do not have to train plan operators on all reliability-related tasks under the ADDIE process as Brad described, whi...
Said: : "NERC is hosting two Industry QA sessions on this project. The first one is this Thursday March 24 and the second one is Tuesday April 5. They are handling these QA sessions a bit differently than they have in the past. Industry watches...
Said: : "The problem with this line of thinking (using R6 in PER-005-2) to define the GOP's responsibility in training is PER-005-2 does not apply to the power plant operator. The new PER-006-1 specifically calls out the power plant control room ...
Said: : "R6 requires a Systematic Approach to Training in PER-005-2. A SAT would require a Job Task Analysis and you would perform training on those items you identified in your Task Analysis. Usually that is the ADDIE approach. Analysis, Design, ...
Said: : "Each Generator Operator shall provide training to personnel identified in Applicability section 4.1.1.1. on the operational functionality of Protection Systems and Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) that affect the output of the generating Fac...
