Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

This document describes enhancements and additional functionality to be incorporated in NERC Resources Adequacy Monitoring Release 3.5. This project will complement and enhance Release 3.5 Wide-Area Real Time ACE-Frequency Monitoring System™ developed and deployed by Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions Electric Power Group (CERTS-EPG) and currently installed at NERC, DOE, FERC (alarms), and Reliability Coordinators' sites. Additional features complying with requirements coming from NERC Staff, Resources Subcommittee and Reliability Coordinators will be implemented in Release 4.0. The enhancements and additional functionality have been grouped in the following functional categories:

New functional enhancements - Sub-categorized as follows:
- Alarm, monitoring and analysis functions
- Metrics, Analysis, and Assessment functions
- System Hardware-Software Infrastructure change
Disturbance and alarm archiving capabilities
Situational awareness capabilities
Load-transmission resource adequacy capabilities
