  1. Transition to the MRO Obligations of the Reliability Council

  2. Standards • NERC and Regional Standards • Regional process to develop and approve standards • Needs to be developed and implemented • Compliance and Enforcement • Programs exist today • Not all compliance templates are mature

  3. Compliance Program • Reliability Compliance Self-Certification • Self-Certification is a process whereby an entity assesses itself for compliance to NERC and regional standards. • August 1 (annual) • Final Compliance Report to NERC • Program runs through the end of the year; submitted to NERC office by the end of February

  4. Compliance Program • Compliance Program • MAPP Compliance Office (MCO): MAPPCOR staff • MAPPCOR currently provides all services to the reliability compliance function in MAPP. • Compliance Data Management Data System (CDMS) • Database system that manages all aspects of the compliance program; owned and operated by MAPPCOR. SPP used the CDMS to manage their 2003 compliance program. • Annual Self-Certification • Periodic Operational reviews • On-site audits on 3 year cycle

  5. Model Building • NERC Model Data • Each NERC Region is required to submit loadflow and stability data to the NERC Multi-regional Modeling Working Group (MMWG) annually. • The purpose of MMWG is to coordinate the development of designated power flow and dynamics simulation base case models, realistically simulates steady state and dynamic bulk electric system behavior. MMWG develops a library of operating and planning power flow and dynamics simulation models, for the use of NERC members for reliability and transfer capability studies. • First submission mid-July. Final submission mid-September.

  6. Model Building • Who builds the regional models? • MRO – NERC assigns responsibility to the Region • RTO – FERC assigns responsibility to RTO • MRO & MISO need to develop clear process • No duplication of efforts • Models are accurate • Done in timely manner • Clearly defined responsibilities and accountabilities

  7. Reliability Assessments • NERC Summer Assessment • This report assesses the expected peak demand and available resources to meet that demand this summer based upon data submitted by the Regions. • April 1 (annual)

  8. Reliability Assessments • NERC Winter Assessment • This report assesses the expected peak demand and available resources to meet that demand this winter based upon data submitted by the Regions. • October 1 (annual)

  9. Reliability Assessments • NERC Long Term Reliability Assessment • NERC’s Reliability Assessment Subcommittee (RAS) prepares an independent report, which includes: an assessment of the long-term electric supply and demand and transmission reliability through ten years outward; a discussion of key issues affecting reliability of future electric supply and transmission, and; Regional assessments of electric supply reliability, including issues of specific regional concern. • May 15 (annual)

  10. Reliability Assessments • MAPP-MAIN-SPP (MMS) Transfer Capability Study • MAIN-MAPP-SPP (MMS) Agreement is to review the reliability of the interconnected system along the interface of the three regions. A study is performed to determine the ability of this system to transfer power between MAIN, MAPP and SPP. • Summer Study – April 1 (annual) • Winter Study – October 1 (annual)

  11. Data Collection and Reports • EIA 411 & 860 • The Load and Capability Report is prepared in response to the requirements of DOE, NERC and as set forth in the MAPP Agreement and the MAPP Reliability Handbook for a two-year monthly and a ten-year seasonal load and capability forecast from each MAPP Participant. Information is also used in the NERC assessments. • April 1 (annual)

  12. Miscellaneous Data Requests • Unscheduled Data Submissions (examples of past requests) • Merchant Plant Data • Spare Transformer Data • Weather Normalization • Resource Subcommittee requests (e.g., AIE surveys)

  13. Certification • Control Area Certification Process • Process for certifying a control area meets the standard. • Functional Model • Certification of certain functions (future)

  14. Conclusion • Transition Plans needed for: • Standards development • Compliance Program • Model Building • Reliability Assessments / Studies • Data Collection and Reports • Certification • Committee structure / Staff support
