Today’s LiveWire Spotlight evaluates the second draft of BAL-003-3, which updates several key focus areas introduced in the original posting in an effort to improve upon the 43.84% approval level accorded it. One of this biggest changes is that the standard will not establish minimum 5% governor droop and ± 0.036 Hz deadband settings for every BES generator.
