Project-2009-02-Real-time-Reliability-Monitoring-and-Analysis-Capabilities

 

Status
IRO-018-1 and TOP-010-1 were approved by FERC in an order issued September 22, 2016. In that order, FERC directed changes to the Violation Risk Factors for some requirements.  The changes are posted to this page for NERC Board of Trustees review.

Background
Project 2009-02 is included in the 2015-2017 Reliability Standards Development Plan (RSDP) approved by the NERC Board of Trustees (Board) on November 13, 2014. Formal development of this project was paused in 2011 and has resumed to address outstanding Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) directives and issues that were not consolidated into Project 2014-03 TOP/IRO Revisions.

Project 2009-02 was initiated in response to work done by the NERC Operating Committee's Real-time Tools Best Practices Task Force (RTBPTF). From 2009 to 2011, a SAR drafting team developed a SAR and technical white paper to establish requirements for the "functionality, performance, and maintenance of Real-time Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities." Since that time, new TOP and IRO standards have been developed that affect the scope of Project 2009-02.

Standard(s) Affected - Two new standards are being proposed: IRO-018-1 - Reliability Coordinator Real-time Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities and TOP-010-1 - Real-time Reliability Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities.

Purpose/Industry Need
The proposed standards will establish requirements for Real-time monitoring and analysis capabilities used by System Operators in support of reliable System operations. The SAR addresses selected recommendations in the RTBPTF Report and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 693 directives, and Bulk Electric System event reports as explained in the SAR Justification White Paper available at the link in the table below.
