Incident review and guidance on voltage sensitive large loads

Rich Bauer, Principal Engineer, NERC, and Hassan Hamdar, Program Manager, Event Analysis, SERC, presented on Tech Talk with RF on March 17, 2025. They reviewed an event caused by a 230 kV transmission line fault where simultaneous loss of approximately 1,500 MW of voltage-sensitive load was not anticipated. The electric grid has not historically experienced simultaneous load losses of this magnitude in response to a fault on the system.
