A Simple Solution for a Complex Issue: NERC Reliability Standards and 3M ACCR

The reliability environment for transmission providers has changed. NERC is now implementing legally enforceable reliability standards, and compliance has become more complicated, with penalties for noncompliance that can reach up to $1 million a day. This paper looks at a subset of these new standards – facilities ratings, transmission planning and special protection systems – and how an advanced 3M conductor technology, 3M Aluminum Conductor Composite Reinforced (3M ACCR), can help simplify compliance and make it more cost effective, while protecting the reliability of the system.
