NPCC (Northeast Power Coordination Committee) is one of the nine regional entities under the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), responsible for supervising and enhancing the safety and reliability of the power system in the northeastern United States and parts of Canada.
The relationship with battery/storing energy systems:
Grid regulation demand: The power grid in the NPCC region has high requirements for the response speed of frequency and voltage regulation, which is suitable for deploying fast-response battery energy storage systems (BESS);
Supporting the development of renewable energy: Energy storage systems help balance the intermittent generation of photovoltaic and wind power;
Participating in market auxiliary services: BESS can participate in services such as frequency regulation and reserve capacity in the RTO market under NPCC (such as NYISO).
