 2.6.1(2)
With the assistance of applicable Transmission Service Providers
(TSPs), ERCOT will, prior to the peak each year, survey each
Distribution Service Provider’s (DSP’s) compliance with the
automatic Load shedding steps above, and report its findings to the
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). For minimum compliance,
DSPs are obligated to meet the prescribed percent values at all
times. It is not permitted to use rounding to meet the minimum.
ERCOT will direct a review of the automatic firm Load shedding
program whenever warranted by conditions. At a minimum, this
review will follow the Reliability and Operations Subcommittee
(ROS) directed dynamic simulations of automatic firm Load
shedding conducted at five-year intervals beginning in the Summer
of 2001.

Power Factor Requirements –ERCOT
§3.15.1 ERCOT Responsibilities Related to Voltage Support
(4) For any Market Participant’s failure to meet the Reactive Power voltage control requirements
of these Protocols, ERCOT shall notify the Market Participant in writing of such failure and, upon
a request from the Market Participant, explain whether and why the failure must be corrected.
(6)
Annually, ERCOT shall review Distribution Service Provider (DSP) power factors using the
actual summer Load and power factor information included in the annual Load data request to
assess whether DSPs comply with the requirements of this subsection. At times selected by
ERCOT, ERCOT shall require manual power factor measurement at substations and POIs that
do not have power factor metering. ERCOT shall try to provide DSPs sufficient notice to perform
the manual measurements. ERCOT may not request more than four measurements per calendar
year for each DSP substation or POI where power factor measurements are not available.
(7) If actual conditions indicate probable non-compliance of TSPs and DSPs with the
requirements to provide voltage support, ERCOT shall require power factor measurements at the
time of its choice while providing sufficient notice to perform the measurements.
(8) ERCOT shall investigate claims of TSP and DSP alleged non-compliance with Voltage
Support requirements. The ERCOT investigator shall advise ERCOT and TSP planning and
operating staffs of the results of such investigations.

Power Factor Requirements –DSP & PUN §3.15.2
Or at their option, may meet alternative requirements specifically approved by ERCOT
a) PF > .97(lagging) for Max Net Active (MW)
 Low side of .97
 Unless Tariff says it is not a requirement
b) Load >10 MW require Watt/VAR metering
 Za ≠ Zb

NERC Power Factor Requirements
 Version 0 Standards found lacking
The Commission believes that Reliability Standard VAR-001-1 is an appropriate place
for the ERO to take steps to address these concerns by setting out requirements for
transmission owners and LSEs to maintain an appropriate power factor range at their
interface. We direct the ERO to develop appropriate modifications to this Reliability
Standard to address the power factor range at the interface between LSEs and the BulkPower System.
 VAR-001-3 (R5) Addressed the Directive:
R5. Each Purchasing-Selling Entity and Load Serving Entity shall arrange for (selfprovide or purchase) reactive resources – which may include, but is not limited to,
reactive generation scheduling; transmission line and reactive resource switching;, and
controllable load– to satisfy its reactive requirements identified by its Transmission
Service Provider.

NERC VAR -001-3 Current Language
R5. Each Purchasing-Selling Entity and Load Serving Entity shall arrange for
(self-provide or purchase) reactive resources – which may include, but is not
limited to, reactive generation scheduling; transmission line and reactive resource
switching;, and controllable load– to satisfy its reactive requirements identified by
its Transmission Service Provider.
(Retirement approved by FERC effective January 21, 2014.)
 VAR-001-4 Standard is not approved and It will not address the power factor when
finalized
 NERC indicates this standard wa retired as part of the Paragraph 81 Project
 The Redundancy (FERC, below) may also reference OATT
PER FERC:
‘Retired …………, and VAR-001-2, Requirement R5 because those requirements were
found redundant with other requirements’ – Federal Register V78. #235 (12/6/13)

Low Power Factors in Load Flow and Load Flow
approximations
 As Power Factors become more Lagging,
 Circulating Currents Increase
 Power Consumed by load Increases
 System Efficiency Decreases
 Lines with higher current carrying capacity are Required
 More Generation is Required
 Available Transfer Capacity Decreases
 Loads with Significantly lagging Power Factors
attribute Reduced Available Transfer Capability into
load pockets and other constrained flowgates, and
may lead to Voltage Instability and Voltage Collapse.
This is a problem under peak conditions
