NERC Submits EOP Reliability Standards
- Filter By Electric Reliability Law Blog
On March 27, 2017, in Docket No. RM17-12-000, NERC submitted a petition for approval of proposed Emergency Operations (EOP) Reliability Standards EOP-004-4 (Event Reporting), EOP-005-3 (System Restoration from Blackstart Resources), EOP-006-3 (System Restoration Coordination), and EOP-008-2 (Loss of Control Center Functionality). The objectives of the proposed EOP Reliability Standards are (1) to provide accurate reporting of events to NERC’s Event Analysis group (EOP-004-4); (2) to delineate roles and responsibilities of entities that support System restoration from Blackstart Resources which generate power without the support of the grid (EOP- 005-3); (3) to clarify the procedures and coordination requirements for Reliability Coordinator personnel to execute System restoration processes (EOP-006-3); and, (4) to refine the required elements of an Operating Plan used to continue reliable operations of the BES in the event that primary control functionality is lost (EOP-008-2). NERC believes the proposed EOP Reliability Standards improve upon existing standards by enhancing the requirements for Emergency operations, including the communication and coordination amongst reporting entities.
