  49. Operational Liaison (5.6) • Introduction a) requirements for the exchange of information in relation to Operations/Events on the total grid system which have had or will have an effect on: • National grid • the regional grid • the ISTS in the region • the system of a User/STU (the above generally relates to notifying of what is expected to happen or has happened and not the reasons why) b)Operational liaison function is a mandatory built-in hierarchical function of the NLDC/RLDC/SLDC/Users to facilitate quick transfer of information to operational staff

  50. Procedure for Operational Liaison • Procedure for Operational Liaison a) Operations and event on the regional grid • before carrying out any operation, RLDC will inform User/SLDC/CTU whose system will be affected • immediately following an event, RLDC will inform the User/SLDC/CTU with details of what happened but not the reasons why • RLDC to NLDC if other region is going to be affected • immediately following an event, NLDC would keep all RLDCs informed b) Operations and events on a User/STU system • before carrying out any operation that will affect regional grid, constituent shall inform RLDC with details • RLDC to NLDC if other region is going to be affected • immediately following an event, the User/SLDC shall inform RLDC with details but not the reasons why • immediately following an event, NLDC would keep all RLDCs informed • Prolonged Forced outages – monitored at RPC level. RPC shall send a monthly report to CERC
