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.

Said: : Test reply. Please ignore.
Said: : From Pat Lynch at NRG:Yes, PRC-027 R2 is applicable. Generator Owners generally do not have the fault current data and must request this informatio...
Said: : Testing reply function. Please ignore. 
Said: : "For those interested, the results of the benchmarking can be located in the file cabinet:https://nagf.groupsite.com/folders/277914"
Said: : "This is always interesting. A typical generator is sized above the MW of the turbine on purpose – This is to allow the contractually stated power factor to be achieved. (See what was signed with the Transmission Owner.) The amount of DC c...
Said: : "Thanks Rishi. This is helpful information and makes sense that the EO would not therefore include Taiwan as part of PRC for these purposes."
Said: : "Karin, Although the US government does not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, Taiwan is also not part of the PRC for the purpose of application of US law. The US government has consistently differentiated between Taiwan and the PRC ...
Said: : "Another question .... does anyone have any insight into whether NERC/FERC's security concerns over Chinese made equipment extend to equipment made in Taiwan? Should any equipment made in Taiwan be identified as being made in China? Sin...
Said: : "I am trying to ascertain the NERC Alert scope as whether its pertains to Protective relaying. The recommendation states that an inventory of control and protection systems associated with the list of equipment types should be done. The ...
Said: : "I reached out to Mani to see if it was a misunderstood statement, but what Mike stated above is correct. I provided him an example of solar facilities with and asked specifically about the GSU. Here was Mani's response: Hi Brad, Our inten...
Said: : "Karin and Shannon, I agree. Our individual inverters connected below 69kV and associated equipment is off the table for Generators, but we will consider the GSU and interconnecting circuit breakers connected above 69kV. If your capacitors...
Said: : "Karin, We interpreted the same way as you. We have NERC registered wind sites that have multiple low MW turbines, but have a high side voltage above 69kV so we were planning on responding to the NERC Alert for these entities.... though i...
Said: : "I would like to seek further clarification for wind farms. I understand that turbines (i.e. generators under 20 MVA) do not need to report but my question is about the wind farm as a registered entity. It seems that the GO entity with an ...
Said: : "Thanks for the feedback guys! For clarity... we did report to the BA immediately - we just didn't fill out the OE-417 form. Steve - I agree - such a grey area! I understand that the utility is not the generator... but they are not an end...
Said: : "I think that instead of just focusing on "300 MW or more" we should also look at "of firm system load" to decide what 300 MW we're talking about. Based on my read of the NERC Functional Model, entities that are responsible for system load...
Said: : "This seems to me to be a gray area. The utility you're selling the power to isn't the "generator", so they would be exempt from this as well. Not only that, but they would have no way of knowing whether an incident happened at your faci...
