| Title: ●Mandatory Reliability Standards for Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits | |
| Abstract: Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to approve three new Interconnection Reliability Operations and Coordination Reliability Operations and Coordination Reliability Standards and seven revised Reliability Standards related to Emergency Preparedness and Operations, Interconnection Reliability Operations and Coordination, and Transmission Operations. These proposed Reliability Standards were submitted to the Commission for approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, which the Commission has certified as the Electric Reliability Organization responsible for developing and enforcing mandatory Reliability Standards. The proposed Reliability Standards were designed to prevent instability, uncontrolled separation, or cascading outages that adversely impact the reliability of the interconnection by ensuring prompt action to prevent or mitigate instances of exceeding Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits. The Commission also proposed to approve the addition of two new terms to the NERC Glossary of Terms. In addition, pursuant to section 215(d)(5) of the Federal Power Act, the Commission proposed to direct NERC to develop a modification to the proposed term "Real-time Assessment" to address a specific concern identified by the Commission. Furthermore, the Commission raised some concerns with regard to certain aspects of NERC's proposals and, based on the responses from NERC and industry, the Commission stated it may choose to direct certain modifications to the proposed new and revised Reliability Standard, as well as the new Glossary Terms, (RM10-15-000). | |
