is the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)
Renewable Energy Modeling Task Force (REMTF). The
second group, which was commissioned in 2009, is the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Technical
Committee (TC) 88, Working Group (WG) 27. In addition,
in 2010 the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC), Integration of Variable Generation
Task Force (IVGTF) Task 1-1 published a report [1] that
outlined and emphasized the need for such generic models

discusses modeling needs for interconnection studies [2].
In [1] the term “generic” is clarified to refer to a model that
is standard, public and not specific to any vendor, so that it
can be parameterized in order to reasonably emulate the
