Building upon the insights gained from the CAISO memo, following the 2021 Odessa Disturbance, NERC has introduced a new standard PRC-028: Disturbance Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs).
To stay ahead of the industry curve, we invite you to join our upcoming webinar. During this session, we will not only delve into the events that led to the creation of the CAISO memo but also introduce you to a robust, user-friendly, and exceptionally reliable approach to achieving full compliance with the PRC-028 standard.
Leading the discussion will be Certrec’s Director of NERC Compliance, Evans Heacock, who will provide a technical analysis of the Odessa Disturbance. Additionally, Fischer Block’s CEO, Greg Wolfe, will showcase their innovative SMART Block® solution, a fully compliant method for implementing NERC PRC-028 standards.
