This course discusses the requirements and procedures of “System Control” and the relationships of these requirements and procedures to applicable NERC Standards.

Topics Covered

  • Interconnection Principles
  • Generation Control
  • Measuring Generation Control Performance
  • Transmission System Reliability
  • Interchange Transactions
  • System Coordination
  • Emergency Operations
  • Islanding and Restoration
  • Disturbance Reporting

Topics Covered

  • Control Performance Standard
  • Disturbance Control Standard
  • Frequency Response and Bias
  • Time Control Standard
  • Automatic Generation Control Standard

This module will include information on NERC EOP Standards concerning emergency operations with specific reference to TOP-002 concerning the planning requirements for emergency operations and transmissions operations.

Topics Covered

  • Operating Reliability Limits and Voltage Control
  • System Coordination
  • Emergency Operations
  • Restoration and Reporting

During the latter portions of the course, you will review the provisions of NERC Standard IRO-004 which deals with planning for system operation during both normal and emergency conditions and during system restoration. Finally, you will review NERC’s requirements for reliability coordinators as set out in Standard EOP-006.

Topics Covered

  • Interchange Transactions and Tagging
  • Interchange Schedules
  • Reliability Operations Planning
  • Reliability Coordinator Procedures
