The TU Comoanies' transmissiens systems would be sub-jecttd to massive imports of pcwer.
ERCOT would lose its ability to react in emergencies, either through its present reliance ucon governor response power or through reliance on underfrequency relays (the loss of which will require the development of new engineering techniques to automatically monitor and cause the generators to react instantaneously to emergency conditions if that is even possible without underfrequency relays).
The load-control centers which presently exist would have to be rearranged; ERCOT's operating and planning criteria wouic require extansive modifocation; and Comunication procedures would require alteration.
A detailed analysis of one " Mode 4" plan as proposed by CS*.4 is contained in the direct testimony of Mr. E. D. Scarth as filed in SEC Cocket No. 3-4951 on July 2, 1979, and as is attached hereto.
