PJM Operating Committee
The PJM Independent Market Monitor found that modeling issues were the largest cause of synchronized reserve underperformance during a July 22 spin event, in which about 80% of assigned reserves responded.
PJM’s winter outlook found the RTO should have enough resources to meet the forecast peak load of 145,700 MW, although the reserve margin continues to decline as new resource development lags.
Stakeholders in the PJM Operating Committee have endorsed manual revisions reflecting the creation of modeling users forum.
