As discussed during the December 5, 2023 EMT presentation to stakeholders (slide 26), the implementation plan for EMT modelling for new inverter-based facilities is as follows:

Inverter-based Facilities Energizing Before September 1, 2024:

• Owners of inverter-based facilities must submit the EMT model and supporting documents during the project post-energization process. For transmission-connected inverter-based resources (IBRs), the validated EMT model must be submitted within 180 days after energization along with the generating unit model validation and reactive power verification report.

Inverter-based Facilities Energizing on or after September 1, 2024:

• Owners of inverter-based facilities must submit the EMT model and supporting documents 100 days before energization. Additionally, for transmission-connected inverter-based resources (IBRs), the validated EMT model must be submitted within 180 days after energization along with the generating unit model validation and reactive power verification report.

Purpose

The purpose of the session is to

• Provide an update on Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Modelling Requirement Initiative
  

Session Objective

• Create awareness of the need and drivers for the EMT modelling initiative
• Inform the industry and seek feedback on the upcoming EMT modelling requirement to power system elements including inverter-based resources (IBRs) and implementation plan
• Notify and seek comments on the amendments to the list of electrical and physical parameters (ID #2010-001R) related to EMT requirements per ISO Rule 502.15
