PRC-028 Compliance Solution™

Is Your Substation Ready?

Retrofit DFRs with NEI’s turnkey solution. Meet NERC standards. Minimize disruption.

Why PRC-028 Matters Now

NERC created PRC-028 to address a growing data gap across IBR sites.

After recent events (like the Blue Cut Fire and the Odessa disturbance), it became clear that grid operators needed better visibility into how inverter-based plants behave during faults.

PRC-028 now requires plant-level disturbance monitoring, event recording, and SCADA data to support performance tracking and model validation.

  • New Digital Fault Recorder (DFR) configuration and retention standards
  • Compliance isn’t optional. Planning ahead is your best protection.
  • Compliance deadlines: 50% by 2028, 100% by 2030
  • Limited time. Limited vendors. Don’t fall behind.

What the Standard Requires

NERC PRC-028-1 Disturbance Monitoring and Reporting Requirements for Inverter Based Resources (PRC-028-1) requires high-speed data capture across your facility, and it’s not just plug and play.

Substation Bus Design: Current Methods Compared with Field Results

Current standards define accepted methods of substation bus design. These standards also require certain strength and deflection criteria. This paper will examine commonly proscribed rigid bus design methodologies and compare them with actual field experience in the design of a 500kV switching station.
