NEPOOL Control Area. The Control Area (as defined in Section 1.11) for NEPOOL.

NEPOOL Control Area is the integrated electric power system to which a common Automatic Generation Control scheme and various operating procedures are applied by or under the supervision of the System Operator in order to: (i) match, at all times, the power output of the generators within the electric power system and capacity and Energy purchased from entities outside the electric power system, with the load within the electric power system; (ii) maintain scheduled interchange with other interconnected systems, within the limits of Good Utility Practice; (iii) maintain the frequency of the electric power system within reasonable limits in accordance with Good Utility Practice and the criteria of the Northeast Power Coordinating Council and the North American Electric Reliability Council; and (iv) provide sufficient generating capacity to maintain operating reserves in accordance with Good Utility Practice.

Examples of NEPOOL Control Area in a sentence

• In instances where the areas of supply and/or receipt are outside the NEPOOL Control Area, the changes in real power flow will be determined only for facilities within the NEPOOL Control Area.

• In addition, a generator shall be simulated at each transmission line tie to the NEPOOL Control Area and changes in flow determined for this generator off or while generating at a level of 100 MW.

• Loads throughout the NEPOOL Control Area shall be proportionally scaled to account for differences in generator output and electrical losses.

• The ISO Agreement shall specify the rights and responsibilities of NEPOOL and the ISO, for the continued operation of the NEPOOL control center by the ISO as the control center operator for the NEPOOL Control Area and the administration of the Tariff.

• If a Participant seeks such a review, the vote to be reviewed shall be suspended for up to 90 days following the giving of the Participant's notice pending resolution of any arbitration proceeding unless the Participants Committee determines that the suspension will imperil the stability or reliability of the NEPOOL Control Area bulk power supply.

• Until the Second Effective Date, each Participant shall also install, maintain and operate such Automatic Generation Control equipment as the Participants Committee may determine to be required in order to maintain proper frequency for the interconnected bulk power system of the Participants and to maintain proper power flows into and out of the NEPOOL Control Area.

• The day-to-day scheduling and coordination through the System Operator of the operation of generating units and other resources shall be designed to assure the reliability of the bulk power system of the NEPOOL Control Area.

• A Participant which joins the Generation Sector shall be entitled but not required to designate an individual voting member of each Principal Committee, and an alternate to the member, if its operating or proposed generation facilities in the NEPOOL Control Area have or will have, when placed in operation, an aggregate Winter Capability of at least 15 MW.

• Until the Second Effective Date, each Participant shall also install, maintain and operate such Automatic Generation Control equipment as the Management Committee may determine to be required in order to maintain proper frequency for the interconnected bulk power system of the Participants and to maintain proper power flows into and out of the NEPOOL Control Area.

• The day-to-day scheduling ------------------------------------------ and coordination through the System Operator of the operation of generating units and other resources shall be designed to assure the reliability of the bulk power system of the NEPOOL Control Area.
