The Scenario Assessment Task Force (SATF) shall report to the Midwest Reliability Organization Reliability Assessment Committee (RAC).
The principal task of the the SATF is to conduct regional scenario assessments, requested by the NERC Planning Committee as part of the NERC Long-Term Reliability Assessment (LTRA), for the MRO. The 10-year LTRA forms a basis for the NERC reference case which is generally based on the assumptions that policy and regulations will be constant throughout the reported horizon and that the variety of economic trends, weather patterns, and system equipment behave as expected. Scenario assessments would indicate the relative sensitivity of the reference case to changes in pre-specified conditions and provide insight into risks to regional reliability. The scenario to be studied and the assessment completion timeframe are to be specified by the NERC Planning Committee. |
