Status:
SAC directed Staff to advise the Requestor of this
SAR to solicit support from IDCWG and/or the ORS for volunteers to this
drafting team.
Initial drafting team solicitations were due June 1, but there were
no volunteers.
Purpose/Industry Need:
This SAR is required to revise IRO-004-0 Requirement 4 to require the
submission of system operational data by noon the day prior as soon as
it is known to be in effect for the next day.
The Interchange Distribution Calculator Working Group (IDCWG) and
the Operating Reliability Subcommittee (ORS) reviewed Section A (System
Data Exchange (SDX) — Eastern Interconnection) of the Reliability
Coordinator Reference Document contained in the NERC Operating Manual,
and concluded that the existing reliability standards do not adequately
address the requirements placed on reporting entities within the
reference document.
Therefore, the IDCWG and the ORS support a revision to IRO-004-0 to
require the timely submission of system operation data used by
reliability coordinators, transmission operators, and balancing
authorities to perform next day operational analysis.
This SAR would also modify the Compliance Section of IRO-004.
Existing reliability standards do not adequately address the
requirements for the submission of system operational data, used in
Available Transfer Capability calculations, the Transmission Loading
Relief application, and power system applications, from Balancing
Authorities, Transmission Owners/Operators, Generation Owners/Operators,
and Load Serving Entities to their Reliability Coordinator.
Section A, (System Data Exchange (SDX) — Eastern Interconnection), of
the Reliability Coordinator Reference Document, addresses the submission
of specific system operational data, including the timing associated
with the submission of the data.
However, the data submission specifications outlined in the Reliability
Coordinator Reference Document are not uniformly followed within the
Eastern Interconnection. Therefore, the IDCWG and the ORS support a revision to IRO-004 to
require timely submission of system operational data.
