Frequency Response & Bias
ID Number: RRC-BAL-003
This standard provides a consistent method for calculating the Frequency Bias component of Area Control Error (ACE). Frequency bias is how much the system frequency changes with a change in generation/load. ACE is the control component used between Local Balancing Authorities (LBAs) to control system frequency.
