10.0 Recommendations .............................................................................................................<br />

10.1. <strong>Wind</strong> plants ......................................................................................................................................<br />

10.1.1. Recommend wind plants to continuously perform over-frequency control for significant overfrequency<br />

events ..................................................................................................................................................<br />

10.1.2. Recommend wind plants to provide inertial response for significant under-frequency events..........<br />

10.1.3. Recommend wind plants to provide under-frequency control only during periods of wind curtailment.<br />

10.1.4. Recommend wind plants to be capable of responding to curtailment requests in less than 10 minutes,<br />

during system events, such as violation of down reserve requirement, and on a plant-by-plant basis.................<br />

10.1.5. Recommend that HECO evaluate the costs and benefits of wind plant ramp rate controls and other<br />

approaches, such as centralized energy storage for frequency regulation, to reduce thermal unit maneuvering.<br />

10.1.6. Recommend wind plant ramp rate controls be controllable by the system operator..........................<br />

10.2. Centralized Solar PV plants............................................................................................................<br />

10.2.1. Recommend monitoring of active power from utility-scale solar plants not embedded in the<br />

distribution system...............................................................................................................................................<br />

10.2.2. Recommend solar plants to provide grid support functions similar to those of wind plants..............<br />

10.3. Signals exchanged between wind/solar plants and system operations ........................................<br />

10.3.1. Recommend the following signals be sent from operations to the wind plants and large solar plants.<br />

10.3.2. Recommend the following signals be sent from wind and large solar plants to operations at typical<br />

SCADA sampling times.......................................................................................................................................<br />

10.3.3. Recommend the following signals be sent from wind and solar plants to operations at slower<br />

sampling times. ....................................................................................................................................................<br />

provided to HECO operations..............................................................................................................................<br />

10.4. <strong>Energy</strong> Management System (EMS) ..............................................................................................<br />

10.4.1. Recommend development of automatic wind plant curtailment requests and the ability to allocate<br />

curtailment among multiple wind plants in the EMS or alternate platform.........................................................<br />

10.4.2. Recommend evaluating changes in the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) to improve sharing of<br />

thermal unit response to wind and solar variability events. .................................................................................<br />
