DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. AD12–10–000] 

Reactive Power Resources; Notice of 

Technical Conference 

The Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (Commission) in a recent 

order on a California Independent 

System Operator Corporation (CAISO) 

tariff filing pertaining to interconnection 

requirements stated that the CAISO’s 

filing in this docket highlights potential 

issues regarding the need for reactive 

power capability among newly 

interconnecting asynchronous 

generators and raises questions 

concerning the need and efficacy of 

continuing the process established for 

wind resources under Order No. 661– 

A.1 The order directed that Staff 

commence a technical conference to 

examine whether the Commission 

should reconsider or modify the reactive 

power provisions of Order No. 661–A. 

The order stated that, as part of that 

technical conference, Staff should 

examine what evidence could be 

developed under Order No. 661 to 

support a request to apply reactive 

power requirements more broadly than 

to individual wind generators during 

the interconnection study process.2

Take notice that such conference will 

be held on April 17, 2012 at the 

Commission’s headquarters at 888 First 

Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

beginning at 9 a.m. (Eastern Time) in the 

Commission Meeting Room. The 

technical conference will be led by 

Commission staff. 

At the conference, discussion items 

will include: the technical and 

economic characteristics of different 

types of reactive power resources, 

including synchronous and 

asynchronous generation resources, 

transmission resources and energy 

storage resources; the design options for 

and cost of installing reactive power 

equipment at the time of 

interconnection as well as retrofitting a 

resource with reactive power 

equipment; other means by which 

reactive power is currently secured such 

as through self-supply; and how a 

technology that is capable of providing 

reactive power but may not be subject 

to the generation interconnection 

process (e.g., FACTs) would be 

analyzed. The staff is further interested 

in gathering information on methods 

used to determine the reactive power 

requirements for a transmission system 

and how system impact and system 

planning studies take into account 

changes in technologies connected to 

the system. 

Those interested in speaking at the 

conference should notify the 

Commission by close of business March 

9, 2012 by completing an online form 

identifying from the above listed topics 

those that they wish to address:
