Voltage/Reactive Transfer Limits Clause Samples
The Voltage/Reactive Transfer Limits clause sets boundaries on the amount of voltage or reactive power that can be transferred between parties or across specific points in an electrical system. In practice, this clause may specify maximum and minimum allowable voltage levels or reactive power flows at interconnection points, ensuring that equipment and grid stability are maintained. By defining these limits, the clause helps prevent equipment damage, system instability, and ensures reliable operation of the power network.
Voltage/Reactive Transfer Limits. 11.2.10.1 Each Party may monitor power transfer on interfaces defined as a Flowgate used to control voltage collapse conditions. In cases where the potential for voltage collapse (or cascading) is identified, prompt voltage support and generation adjustments are needed. Generation adjustment requests to avoid voltage collapse or cascading conditions must be clearly communicated and implemented promptly. Using these limits the Parties will implement the following real-time coordination:
(a) At 95% of Interface Limit

Generation adjustment requests to avoid voltage collapse or cascading conditions must be clearly communicated and implemented promptly. Using these limits the Parties will implement the following real-time coordination:
(a) At 95% of Interface Limit:
(i) A Party, which observes the reading, shall contact the other Parties to discuss whether further analysis is required.
(ii) The Party, owning the applicable Flowgate, will notify other Reliability Coordinators via the Reliability Coordinator Information System (“RCIS”).
(iii) The Parties will conduct a conference call with the affected Control Areas to discuss reactive outputs and/or capabilities.
(iv) The applicable Party will take appropriate actions, which may include redispatching generation and directing schedule curtailments.
