  15. Kenneth WilsonWECC Staff Bulk Electric System (BES) Definition Update May 15, 2014 Outreach Webinar

  16. BES Definition at a Glance • Consistent, uniform way to determine BES assets • Effective 7/1/2014 • Transition period through 7/2016 • ERO enterprise common process and tool for implementation • Documents and training readily available • BES web page – one stop shopping • Regional and NERC staff resources available to answer detailed questions and implementation

  17. Bulk Electric System (BES): Unless modified by the lists shown below, all Transmission Elements operated at 100 kV or higher and Real Power and Reactive Power resources connected at 100 kV or higher. This does not include facilities used in the local distribution of electric energy. Establishes the overall demarcation point between BES and non-BES Elements. BES ‘Core’ Definition

  18. Provide additional clarification for the purposes of identifying specific Elements that are included in the BES.  I1. BES Transformers I2. Real Power Resources I3. Blackstart Resources I4. Dispersed power producing resources meeting certain criteria I5. Reactive Power Resources BES Definition Inclusions

  19. Provide additional clarification for the purposes of identifying specific Elements that may be excluded from the BES.  E1. Radial Systems E2. Retail Generation E3. Local Networks E4. Reactive Power Devices installed solely for retail customers BES Definition Exclusions

  20. Consistent methodology outlined in the BES Definition Reference Document STEP 1: CORE DEFINITION STEP 2: INCLUSIONS STEP 3: EXCLUSIONS STEP 3: EXCLUSIONS should be applied in the following sequence: E2 Retail Generation (supersedes I2 Real Power Resources) E4 Retail Reactive Power Devices (supersedes I5 Reactive Power Resources) E3 Local Networks (does not exclude interconnection facilities or generators) E1 Radial Systems (does not exclude interconnection facilities or generators) How to Apply the BES Definition, Inclusions, and Exclusions

  21. BES Notifications • Applies to newly self-identified inclusions to and exclusions from the BES • Assures that entities are appropriately implementing the revised definition • Compliance obligations cease for facilities excluded from the BES • 24-month implementation period to bring newly-identified Facilities included in the BES into compliance

  22. Self-Determination Notification Information Requirements • Each notification should at a minimum include the following: • Current one-line diagrams • For E2 Retail Generation Exclusion notifications • Net Capacity Transactional Data (12 months of hourly data) • Standby, back-up and maintenance power service documentation • For E3 Local Network Exclusion notifications • Power Flow Transactional Data (24 months of hourly data)

  23. BES Exception Requests • Considerations: • Applicable to all Exception Requests • Applicable to specific Elements or groups of Elements Must demonstrate that the requested facilities are (for inclusions) or are not (for exclusions) necessary for the reliable operation of the interconnected transmission system

  24. Who can Submit an Exception Request? • Owner of the Element(s) • Regional Entity • Entity with Scope of Responsibility for the Element(s) under consideration: • Regional Entity • Planning Authority • Reliability Coordinator • Transmission Operator • Transmission Planner • Balancing Authority

  25. The Exception Request Process Submitting Entity prepares Exception Request RE initial screening and applicable entity input Appeal of Rejection based on completeness Up to 75 days RE substantive review and recommendation Technical Review Panel input (if applicable) Up to 6 months NERC Panel Review and Decision Challenge of NERC Decision (Rule 1703) Up to 120 days

  26.

  40. Reliability DirectivesWECC Open WebinarMay 15, 2014 Phil O’Donnell Manager, Operations and Planning Audits

  41. Standards Involving Directives

  42. Generic Directive Language Deconstructed The receiver of the directive “shall comply with reliability directives issued by…” the issuer of the directive… “unless such actions would violate safety, equipment, regulatory or statutory requirements”. “Under these circumstances” the receiver of the directive “shall immediately inform” the issuer of the directive “of the inability to perform the directive so that” the issuer of the directive “can implement alternate remedial actions”.

  43. What You Should Not Do. • Receiver is not expected to take directive actions which would • Jeopordize safety • This includes safety of your company personnel and safety of the public • Damage equipment • Should not be expected to damage equipment or exceed any limits which could violate operating requirements • Violate regulatory requirements • Do not follow one regulation which violates another • Violate statutory requirements • Do not break the law

  44. Be Aware • Issuer of the directive will generally be focused on a bigger picture of the situation. • Receiver may not initially be provided all of the information. • Time may be critical. (for reliability conditions) • Issuer knows that load shed will impact street lights and elevators and can have some safety impacts. • Issuer may not know of unusual local conditions, unique circumstances, laws or regulations.

  45. Your Obligations • Inform the issuer of the directive if complying with the directive as issued would cause any impact on safety, equipment or other regulatory or legal obligations. • Offer any alternatives you can come up with. • Agree on expectations and outcomes. • The directive as issued may be the only option.
