Status:
The Real-time Operations Standard Drafting Team is developing its consideration of comments from a parallel comment period and ballot for TOP-001-2, TOP-002-3, and TOP-003-2, the Implementation Plan, and associated VRFs and VSLs for a 30-day comment period that ended on  January 12, 2011.  TOP-001-2 failed ballot while TOP-002-3 and TOP-003-2 passed ballot.

Purpose/Industry Need:
The industry needs clearer, unambiguous and enforceable standards in order to effectively operate the Bulk Electric System.

  1. Clarify requirements for real-time operations of the Bulk Electric System in the cited standards. 

  2. Consider stakeholder comments received during the initial development of the standards and other comments received from ERO regulatory authorities as noted in Appendix B.

  3. Consider other general improvements as described in Appendix A.

  4. This satisfies the ANSI procedure requirement for five-year review of the standards.

Applicable Standards:    

  • TOP-001-1 Reliability Responsibilities and Authorities

  • TOP-002-2 Normal Operations Planning

  • TOP-003-0 Planned Outage Coordination

  • TOP-004-1 Transmission Operations

  • TOP-005-1 Operational Reliability Information

  • TOP-006-1 Monitoring System Conditions

  • TOP-007-0 Reporting Sol and IROL Violations

  • TOP-008-0 Response to Transmission Violations

  • PER-001-0 Operating Personnel Responsibility and Authority
