Under frameworks such as the North American Electric Reliability Corp.’s Critical Infrastructure Protection reliability standards, power facilities are classified by how much their loss would affect the wider grid’s reliability. A “low impact” designation reflects the grid’s ability to absorb the loss of a smaller generation facility without broader disruption.
System operators are increasingly building visibility into these environments, strengthening configurations and setting internal standards that go beyond compliance.
