NERC GADS Guide-NERC GADS Reporting Aid

Example

A wind farm reports its total installed capacity, turbine model details, and subgroup configurations as part of its initial setup in the GADS database.

Scenario

A newly commissioned wind plant needs to submit detailed configuration data including plant and turbine specifics to establish its reporting profile within the GADS Wind Reporting application.

Example

Monthly performance data including active turbine hours, generation data, and capacity metrics are submitted to analyze the plant's operational efficiency.

Scenario

Following the third full month after its commercial operation date, a wind plant begins monthly submissions of performance data, enabling analysis and comparison against industry benchmarks.

Example

Significant operational events, such as a turbine failure causing a loss of generation capacity, are reported detailing the event start and end times, causes, and estimated production loss.

Scenario

After experiencing a forced outage due to equipment failure, a wind plant reports the event to help with the understanding of outage impacts and root cause analysis.
