R1. Generator Operators and Transmission Operators shall have AVR in service and in automatic voltage control mode. R1. The Generator Operator shall operate each generator connected to the interconnected transmission system (with its automatic voltage regulator (AVR) in service) in the automatic voltage control mode. R1. Each Transmission Operator shall specify a system voltage schedule (which is either a range or a target value with an associated tolerance band) as part of its plan to operate within System Operating Limits and Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits. The Generator Operator and the Transmission Operator’s reliability tasks are addressed in VAR-002-4.1 and and the Regional Variance. By creating the voltage schedule, the Transmission Operator sets the reliability goal to be met without restricting the specific type of resource to be used. Restated, the VAR-01-4.2 approach is inclusive of without specifying “how” the goal is to be met. R2. Each Transmission Operator shall schedule sufficient reactive resources to regulate voltage levels under normal and Contingency conditions. (Various means are allowed.) R3. Each Transmission Operator shall operate or direct the Real-Time operation of device to
