The new TOP-002-4 recently passed the ballot: R1. Each Transmission Operator shall have an Operational Planning Analysis that will allow it to assess whether its planned operations for the next day within its Transmission Operator Area will exceed any of its System Operating Limits (SOLs). R2. Each Transmission Operator shall have an Operating Plan(s) for next-day operations to address potential System Operating Limit (SOL) exceedances identified as a result of its Operational Planning Analysis as required in Requirement R1. Standards Changes on the Horizon Western Electricity Coordinating Council

Excerpt from the NDSTF Strategy Document: “Once the NDSTF has accomplished these specific work items, it is envisioned that the NDSTF would potentially exist as a working group to serve as a forum for discussion and continuous improvement of all aspects of near-term study processes.” Is there value in continuing the NDSTF effort (or forming a Working Group or other) to ensure TOPs are successful with TOP-002-4?
