Transmission and Generation Protection System Maintenance and Testing (Project 2007-17)

Registered Ballot Body | Related Files | Drafting Team Rosters

Status: 
The Standards Committee is seeking industry experts to serve on the Transmission and Generation Protection System Maintenance and Testing Standard Drafting Team.

Purpose/Industry Need 
The purpose of standard PRC-005 should remain “To ensure all transmission and generation Protection Systems affecting the reliability of the Bulk Electric System (BES) are maintained and tested.”

In Order 693, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission directed that changes be made to these standards.

These standards should be consolidated into a single standard to reduce the costs of compliance and a number of technical short comings in these standards should be corrected to provide reliable performance when responding to abnormal system conditions.
