Abstract :
The paper presents the functions of the Integration of Variable Generation Task Force (IVGTF) created by the planning and operating committees of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) in 2008. This is in anticipation of the substantial growth of renewable variable generation such as wind and solar resources.
