Powerflow Parameters and Standardized
Dynamics Models
Version 1 – October 15, 2015

Introduction
There  is  a  growing  need  for  accurate  interconnection‐wide  powerflow  and  dynamics  simulations  that 
analyze phenomena such as: 
 Frequency response, 
 inter‐area oscillations, and  
 interactions between the growing numbers of wide‐area control and protection systems.  
 
This  requires  that  validated  interconnection‐wide  powerflow  and  dynamics  cases  be  developed  and 
available to the industry. These powerflow and dynamics cases are far more detailed than those envisioned 
when the original “basic data groups” were formed to provide outside‐world models for local analyses. 
 
Interconnection‐wide  powerflow  and  dynamics  cases  are  constructed  from  thousands  of  individual 
component models. Currently, there is a proliferation of component model structures that can be used to 
represent  a  particular  type  of  equipment.  This  multitude  of  model  structures  causes  problems  in  the 
interchange of data, particularly for the construction of interconnection‐wide cases. Some of the model 
structures have information that is considered to be proprietary or confidential, which impedes the free 
flow of information necessary for interconnection‐wide power system analysis and model validation. An 
industry‐wide forum for discussing the validity of these various model structures is needed. The industry 
should  agree  upon  standardized  component  model  structures  and  associated  parameters  for  particular 
types  of  equipment.  Furthermore,  an  industry‐wide  forum  is  also  needed  to  identify  the  need  for  new 
component models and for tracking changes to existing model structures. 
 
To address this problem, the Planning Committee (PC) directed the NERC Modeling Working Group (MWG) 
to  develop,  validate,  and  maintain  a  library  of  standardized  component  models  and  parameters  for 
powerflow  and  dynamics  cases.  These  libraries  are  henceforth  referred  to  as  the  NERC  libraries  of 
standardized  models  (“standardized  models”).  The  standardized  models  in  these  libraries  have 
documentation  describing  their  model  structure,  parameters,  and  operation.  This  information  has  been 
vetted by the industry and thus deemed appropriate for widespread use in interconnection‐wide analysis. 
Standardized models promote the submittal of component model data that is required by the NERC MOD 
Reliability Standards and facilitate the free flow of information necessary to validate model parameters, 
assess model performance, and perform the associated system reliability analyses.  
 

 
 

An initial library of standardized models was created using the contemporary regionally‐approved dynamic 
model libraries. Additional models from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and other 
appropriate organizations were added as appropriate. Models for new technological innovations are added 
to the library of standardized models following their development and vetting. The library of standardized 
models is subject to the review and approval of the MWG, which is composed of industry subject matter 
experts and representatives from regional modeling working groups. 

The  libraries  of  standardized  models  are  documented  in  two  lists:    the  NERC  Library  of  Standardized 
Powerflow  Parameters  and  the  NERC  Library  of  Standardized  Dynamics  Models.    The  NERC  Modeling 
Working Group (MWG) has established criteria for what constitutes a standardized model.  MWG has also 
developed  requirements  for  submitting,  evaluating,  and  making  changes  to  the  NERC  Library  of 
Standardized  Powerflow  Parameters  and  NERC  Library  of  Standardized  Dynamics  Models.    These 
requirements  address  modeling  developments  and  “black  box1,”  proprietary,  and  user‐defined  models.  
This  manual  presents  both  the  criteria  for  standardized  models  and  the  process  for  updating  and 
maintaining the lists of standardized models. 
 
NERC Library of Standardized Powerflow Parameters
The NERC Library of Standardized Powerflow Parameters is a library of parameters that have been vetted 
by the industry for use in Interconnection‐wide powerflow cases.  Each parameter in the NERC library has 
been reviewed by MWG and deemed to meet all of the criteria for a standardized powerflow parameter.  
The parameters are for positive sequence powerflow cases.  Some of the parameters are designated as 
having  enumerated  values;  conventional  powerflow  programs  generally  use  an  integer  coding  for  the 
different values that these variables can have. 
 
Some parameters for powerflow elements are not standardized in the industry.  For example, some entities 
only enter two ratings for a transmission line in a powerflow case, while others enter up to 8.  Only those 
powerflow modeling parameters which, in the view of MWG, have truly standardized definitions across the 
industry and do not have conflicting definitions among the major Interconnections are included in the NERC 
library.    Each  Interconnection  may  (and  does)  use  parameters  in  addition  to  those  in  the  library  of 
standardized parameters.  Some interconnections may also accept enumerated values for parameters other 
than those listed in the NERC Library. 
 
The  modeling  requirements  for  each  Interconnection  may  require  the  use  of  additional  powerflow 
parameters.    The  modeling  requirements  for  each  Interconnection  supercede  this  list  and  should  be 
consulted directly. 
 
NERC Library of Standardized Dynamics Models
The NERC Library of Standardized Dynamics Models is a library of component models that have been vetted 
by  the  industry  for  use  in  Interconnection‐wide  models.    Generators,  excitation  systems,  and  turbine‐

                                                       
1 “Black box” refers to a user‐written model which does not have sufficient documentation to fully represent the model dynamics. 

Documentation includes a block diagram, values and names for all model parameters, a list of all state variables, and any dynamic 
characteristics of the model. 

NERC Libraries of Standardized Powerflow Parameters and Standardized Dynamics Models  2 
 

governors are examples of components, and each can have an individual dynamics model.  Each of the 
component models in the NERC library has been reviewed by MWG and deemed to meet all of the criteria 
for a standardized dynamics model. 
 
Some  dynamics  component  models  are  not  used  in  some  Interconnections.    (In  fact,  some  models  are 
prohibited for use in some Interconnections.) However, as long as a particular model meets the criteria 
established by MWG for a standardized model, MWG includes that particular component model in the NERC 
library.  In particular, IEEE models used in the industry are included as they have clear definitions.  Given 
the large variety of equipment in use, MWG believes that the largest variety of models that meet the criteria 
for inclusion ought to be included in the Library so that the broadest choices are available to represent 
equipment.    Accordingly,  any  dynamics  model  in  use  in  at  least  one  of  the  major  Interconnections  is 
included  in  the  library  so  long  as  it  meet  the  criteria.    Some  Interconnections  may  accept  or  require 
parameters for component models in addition to the parameters identified in the model documentation. 
 
Some of the models in this library may not be acceptable for use in all Interconnections.  The modeling 
requirements for each Interconnection supercede this list and should be consulted directly.  The Western 
Interconnection in particular has a library of dynamics models [W1] that are approved for use in Western 
Interconnection base cases. 
 
Relationship Between Standardized Models and NERC Modeling
Standards (MOD-032-1)
Use of the NERC Libraries of Standardized Powerflow Parameters and Dynamics Models is not specifically 
required by the NERC standards for data submittal for interconnection cases (i.e., MOD‐032‐1).  However, 
the dynamics models in the library meet the documentation requirements of MOD‐032‐1. 
 
Perspective on Common Information Model (CIM)
MWG appreciates the work done by various parties in developing the Common Information Model (CIM) 
and  recognizes  the  value  in  standardizing  parameters  and  models.    CIM  is  a  possible  future  means  for 
standardizing powerflow parameters and dynamics models.  However, at present, it is not in widespread 
use for exchanging Interconnection powerflow and dynamics cases.  One reason for this situation is the 
enormous file sizes that result when employing the model for Interconnection cases.  
 
Justification for Standardized Models
Standardized models are needed in the industry for a number of reasons: 
1. Availability of industry approved and validated component models to be applied in all software 
that is used for powerflow and dynamics analysis 
a. Portability of data between programs 
b. Ability for new software to be developed 
2. Assembly of data by equipment manufacturers and owners in a consistent format that can be 
reliably used in interconnection‐wide models

Industry Notification of New Version of NERC Libraries of Standardized

Powerflow Parameters and Standardized Dynamics Models
After changes are made to either of these lists, the updated version of the lists will be posted on the MWG 
page of the NERC web site: 
 
http://www.nerc.com/comm/PC/Pages/Model‐Working‐Group‐(MWG)‐2013.aspx 
 
An announcement of the posting will be made.   

Periodic Review of NERC Library of Standardized Dynamics Models

MWG will periodically review whether: 
1. All models on the approved model lists for each Interconnection are included in the NERC Library 
of Standardized Dynamics Models (3 times per year) 
2. All models in use in the Interconnection‐wide dynamics cases for each Interconnection are 
included in the NERC Library of Standardized Dynamics Models (annual) 

MWG will determine the reason for any discrepancy that is found and adjust the NERC Library Standardized 
Dynamics Models as appropriate.  In a few cases, there may be legitimate reasons for discrepancies to exist. 

Modeling Developments and Requirements for User-defined Models

MWG recognizes that the on‐going development of new technologies for generation and load will require 
a corresponding on‐going development of new dynamics component models.  As the vetting of such models 
takes some time, ad hoc user‐defined models will need to be used on an interim basis in some situations.  
The requirements for such models are already specified in both the Interconnection‐specific requirements 
for dynamics cases and the recently approved MOD‐032 standard.  In particular, “black box” models without 
proper  documentation,  including  block  diagrams,  are  not  allowed  to  be  used  in  Interconnection‐wide 
dynamics cases.

NOTE: Some of the models in this list may not be acceptable for use in all Interconnections. The modeling requirements for each Interconnection supercede this list and should be consulted directly. The Western Interconnection
in particular has a library of dynamics models [W1] that are approved for use in Western Interconnection base cases.
