• 132NOGRR Automatic Under-Voltage and Under-Frequency Load Shedding Protection Systems -- Load Restoration. This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) adds a requirement for Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) and Under-Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) systems Load restoration coordination consistent with that of manually shed Load for EEA 3 or a Constraint Management Plan. [ERCOT] Remanded to OWG for additional review by ROS.
• 135NOGRR Constraint Management During Energy Emergency Alerts. This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) seeks to improve management of congestion during an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) by proposing:
  • Language that provides a mechanism for ERCOT Operations to manage constraints in EEA 2 or 3 to higher Facility ratings when applicable for those constraints identified as limiting generation output; and language that reconsiders use of double-circuit contingencies during emergency operations based on Grid conditions [ERCOT]Language Review (ROS assignment to review duplicate language with NPRR642).
• 138NOGRR Delete Grey Box for Reporting of Back-up Control Plan Submittal.

[ERCOT] Language Review.
• 142NOGRR Phasor Measurement.  This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) represents the consensus recommendation of the Phasor Measurement Task Force (PMTF) as the binding language required to meet the top three Synchrophasor use cases identified by ERCOT staff and the PMTF as having merit in the ERCOT region.
