How does PowerGADS help in NERC regulatory compliance?
Beyond internal use, PowerGADS expertly packages this data and submits it to either ISO/RTO or the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), adhering to the standard "card" formats. This seamless data submission process streamlines compliance and reporting, eliminating the complexities typically associated with such tasks.
What is NERC?
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is a non-profit international regulatory authority. Their central duty is to ensure the reliability and security of the bulk power system in North America. NERC is pivotal in maintaining a reliable and secure power grid through the establishment and enforcement of standards.
What is GADS?
GADS (Generating Availability Data System) is a data reporting system designed by NERC. It facilitates a broad analysis of power plant performance and reliability across the industry. Accurate GADS reporting is essential to monitor the reliability of the grid and ensure the availability of power generation facilities.

GADS Data CollectionFlexible Report Creation
The Ad Hoc Reporting Tool allows users to quickly create custom reports on the fly using over 100 data types. Users can save queries for future reports and further ease. Integ offers a comprehensive set of reports off-the-shelf, and Integ can also include custom formatted reports. Creating a NERC 05/07 report is as easy as selecting your units and clicking a button. Minimal Data Entry, Minimized Errors Clients only have to enter event start and end time, Cause Code, and Amplification Code. Cause Codes are available from a tree list that contains codes applicable to that unit. At the end of the month, users will have to enter total generation, but everything else is pre-populated (but editable for ease of use). Have a PI or SCADA interface? Data entry is even further reduced. Please schedule a demonstration for more information. |
