Course overview
One of a Balancing Authority's primary functions is to balance its load and schedule while supporting Interconnection frequency. Area Control Error or ACE is the value a system operator uses to maintain interconnection steady state frequency within defined limits by balancing real power demand and supply in Real-time. The ACE Equation training course introduces the ACE equation, its various components, and how it is calculated. This online training course is part of the Resource and Demand Balancing training series.
