  1. Progress Report:Development of Operations Standards April 7, 2004 Electric Facilities Generation Standards Committee Meeting (Agenda Item #4)

  2. Outline of Progress Report • Scope of Proposed Standards • Project Team Measures of Success • Status of Operations Standards • Structure of Proposed Standards • Summary of Technical and Non-Technical Standards • Proposed Next Steps • Tentative Committee Schedule • Tentative CPUC Schedule

  3. Scope of Proposed Standards • Emphasis on larger (and older) thermal plants (e.g. combined cycle and boiler plants). • Includes major systems typical at hydroelectric and geothermal plants, and peakers

  4. Project Team Measures of Success* • Operating Standards Must: • Reflect an understanding of operating practices, conditions and procedures in CA power plants • Cover important systems, components, modes of operations and various technologies • Clearly articulate what’s expected from generators • Allow generators to explain how they comply with detailed requirements *CPUC Project Team

  5. Project Team Measures of Success* (Continued) • Operating Standards Must: • Facilitate clear follow up audit process and related procedures • Be compatible with existing Maintenance Standards • Be developed in cooperation with Committee, ISO, and ongoing CPUC Review Team So far, the proposed standards are conforming to these measures of success *CPUC Project Team

  6. Status of Proposed Standards CPUC Review

  7. Structure of Proposed Standards • Standard: One paragraph that summarizes GAO responsibility • General Requirements: States specific operational components • Detailed Requirements: Provides more specific guidance for the preparation of Operations Plans to be reviewed by CPUC Staff.

  8. Integration of Maintenance Standards with Operations Standards Maintenance Standards Operations Standards (Proposed) (Existing) Standard (Approved) Standard Assessment Guidelines (Approved) General Req’ts Detailed Req’ts for Maintenance Plans DetailedReq’ts for OperationsPlans

  9. Alternative Committee Approaches • Committee adopts standards only. (One Component) • Committee adopts standards and general and detailed requirements for operating plans. (Three Components) • Committee adopts standards and general requirements and recommends detailed requirements for operating plans. (This is consistent with Committee approach for maintenance standards.) (Two Components)

  10. Safety Organizational Structure & Responsibilities Operations Management & Leadership Problem Resolution & Continuing Improvement Operations Personnel Knowledge & Skills Engineering & Technical Support Regulatory Requirements Operations Facilities, Tools, & Equipment Plant Status and Configuration Non-Technical Standards (Consistent with Maintenance Standards)

  11. Training Program Operations Procedures Operations Conduct Routines Clearances Communication Work Orders Records Emergency Grid Operations On Site Emergency Off Site Emergency Security Readiness Notification for Plant Status Change Transfer of Ownership Non-Technical Standards (New Proposed)

  12. Site Performance Mothballing/Lay Up Fire Protection System Operating Fuel Delivery Systems Instrument/Service Air System Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEMS) Feedwater Systems DC System Turbine Generator Seal Oil Lube Oil Circulating Water Condensate System Technical Standards (30 Total)

  13. Gland Seal System High Voltage System Medium Voltage System Low Voltage System Bearing Cooling Water System Drum Boiler Once Through Boiler Boiler Chemistry Cooling Tower System Water Treatment Control Systems Auxiliary Steam Gas Turbine Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) Raw-Water Pre-Treatment Water Turbine & Penstocks Technical Standards (Continued)

  14. Proposed Next Steps • CPUC Project Team Final Review • Committee Final Review • Two CPUC Sponsored Generator Workshops • 30-day public notice • Committee posts Draft Standards for public review and solicits informal comments • Minimum two days of workshops in San Francisco • Based on generator feedback, Committee posts Revised Draft Standards for public review and solicits formal comments

  15. Tentative Committee Schedule March 1 CPUC staff provides detailed direction to contractor regarding content, structure, & format April 7? Standards redrafted April 14 Review by Committee Members April 28 Public release of Standards May 5 Informal comments by parties May 18 First Workshop with parties May 25 Second Workshop with parties Note: Final Schedule to Be Set By Formal Written Notice

  16. Tentative Committee Schedule (Continued) June 8 Formal service of revised standards on parties for formal comments June 22 Formal comments July 6 Reply comments July 20 Committee adopts Standards and transmits them to the Commission Note: Final Schedule to Be Set By Formal Written Notice

  17. Tentative CPUC Schedule July 20 Request for Comments on Implementation, with proposal that standards be incorporated into the existing GO. August 3 Comments August 10 Reply Comments September Proposed Decision October Final Decision Note: Final Schedule to Be Set By Formal Written Notice
