Combined-cycle plants – combustion turbines and heat-recovery (steam turbine) units to be reported separately.
Wind farms report on a point of interconnection basis Wind farms – report on a point-of-interconnection basis.
If operable in more than one interconnection, complete the survey for operation in each of the interconnectionsthe survey for operation in each of the interconnections.

Frequency Response is declining in Eastern Interconnection• Various factors are influencing• When is frequency response too low?
P i C t l F R i b i ithd Primary Control Frequency Response is being withdrawn Primary inertial generation being supplanted by non-inertial
resources – wind, solar, electronically coupled resourcesy• What is their response to frequency excursions?• What is their susceptibility to tripping during frequency
excursions?excursions? Load characteristics are changing
• Unknown frequency response characteristicsq y p• Current modeling is insufficient to analyze the phenomenon
