Status:
The second ballot for the definition of
“Protection System” ended on August 2, 2010. The
drafting team will review and respond to the comments received, and will
determine whether to make additional changes to the definition or its
implementation plan, based on those comments. Should the team
decide to make revisions the revised item(s) will be posted for a 30-day
comment period with another ballot conducted during the last ten days of
that comment period.
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.
