Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary. 

The purpose of the technical 

conference is to examine whether the 

Commission should reconsider or 

modify the reactive power provisions of 

Order No. 661–A and 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. 

Agenda for the Technical Conference 

on Reactive Power Resources 

AD12–10 

April 17, 2012 

9 a.m.–9:15 a.m. Greeting and Opening 

Remarks. 

9:15 a.m.–12:15 p.m. Discussion of 

Reactive Power in Interconnection 

Studies. 

This panel will discuss: 

• 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. 

• What evidence could be developed 

to support a request to apply 

reactive power requirements more 

broadly than to individual wind 

generators during the 

interconnection study process.

1:15 p.m.–4:15 p.m. Discussion of 

Reactive Power Resources. 

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.
