Status
All
but four standards in this set have been approved by the NERC BOT.
Field testing of the generator capability verification (2) and
protection and control (2) standards is expected to continue into 2007.
Purpose/Industry Need
Certain
planning standards that were part of the Phase III-IV NERC compliance
program were not included in the Version 0 reliability standards. The
Version 0 drafting team, supported by industry comments, realized it could
not achieve industry consensus on these specific standards in the timeframe
or within the scope of the Version 0 standards project. These
standards are important, nonetheless, as they contain critical reliability
requirements in support of recommendations from the NERC and U.S./Canada
Power System Outage Task Force reports on the August 14, 2003 blackout.
Recognizing the importance of these standards, the NERC board resolved on
October 15, 2004, that: "A satisfactory resolution of the issues regarding
Phases III and IV of the planning standards would be to: (1) develop
reliability standards covering the Phase III and Phase IV issues separate
from the Version 0 effort, using the NERC standards development process; (2)
have the Planning Committee expeditiously complete the drafting of the
proposed standards needed to address the Phase III and Phase IV issues, and
move those standards through the NERC standards development process as
promptly as possible, but not later than the May 2005 board meeting."
This SAR proposes the development of reliability standards that address the
disturbance monitoring and reporting requirements of those Phase III-IV
planning standards.
