Modeling Data

Baseline Cases

In developing the Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP), PJM annually performs comprehensive power flow, short circuit and stability analyses. These assess the impacts of forecasted firm loads, firm imports from and exports to neighboring systems, existing generation and transmission assets, and anticipated new generation and transmission facilities. PJM conducts a comprehensive assessment of the ability of the PJM system to meet all applicable reliability planning criteria.

The PJM RTEP Baseline Cases are no longer posted in this area. The most recent RTEP Baseline Base Cases are posted in the most recent RTEP Order 1000 Competitive Planning Process secure area. If you want access to the current RTEP Baseline Base Cases please request CEII access to the most recent RTEP Order 1000 Competitive Planning Process secure area. Previous years’ RTEP Baseline Cases are also posted in the same Competitive Planning area and can be requested by indicating the RTEP Order 1000 year in the CEII Request. If you already have access to a CEII requested area, your request may be denied due to the request being duplicative.

New Service Request Files

A key component of PJM’s RTEP process is the assessment of queued generation interconnection requests and the development of transmission upgrade plans to resolve reliability criteria violations. This interconnection assessment ensures the initial deliverability of the respective request. Thereafter, the PJM RTEP process annually completes studies that reveal any transmission expansion upgrades needed to ensure the ongoing deliverability of all generators within PJM.
