Functional Model Advisory Group Revisions to the Functional Model

Lacey Ourso (NERC staff)

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY 13

Background Information

• Purpose of the Functional Model (FM): Guideline that identifies the functions that must be performed to

ensure that the Bulk Power System is planned and operated in a reliable manner.

Describes the specific tasks that are required to perform the reliability functions, and the relationships between the functional entities that perform those tasks

• Functional Model Technical Document (FMTD): Companion document that elaborates on various functions, tasks and relationships between functional entities.


2016 FMAG project

• Version 5 (current version) of the FM and FMTD developed in 2009 and approved by the NERC Board of Trustees in 2010.

• Focus of 2016 FMAG project: Review the model to ensure it correctly reflects the industry today Identify changes needed to the model as a result of new and

emergent reliability-related issues Identify changes needed as a result of recent NERC initiatives (i.e.,

Risk-Based Registration initiative) and standard development projects (i.e., Alignment of Terms)


Overview of Proposed Revisions to the FM

• Clarified planning functions: Planning Coordinator (PC), Transmission Planner (TP), and Resource Planner (RP) Identified differences in the various functions and tasks performed

by the functional entities, and how the planners work together to ensure the BES has adequate reliability planning

Both the TP and PC perform assessments to evaluate whether future transmission system performance will meet the minimum acceptable system performance requirements

However, TP and PC may consider different system conditions (and BES facilities) in performing their respective assessments; this flexibility allows for studying a wider range of system conditions and allows for a more complete and comprehensive assessment of the BES



• Planning functions (cont): TP assessment includes the collection of transmission assets over

which the TP is responsible for planning (“TP Area”). PC assessment includes the collection of transmission assets over

which the PC is responsible for coordinating planning (“PC Area”). The PC Area is normally comprised of more than one TP. The PC focuses on assessments of both Transmission and resource planning for its PC Area.

Every BES facility must have one associated TP and at least one PC. This means that every facility in the TP Area should be included in the assessment conducted by the TP.



• Added cyber and physical security tasks (RC, BA, TOP, TO, IC, DP, GO and GOP) “Provide appropriate security protections for cyber assets and

physical assets, and their related support systems and data.” “Communicate to appropriate authorities and relevant functional

entities of an actual or suspected attack on cyber assets and/or physical assets.”

• Added TOP task related to operations: “Operate or direct the operation of Transmission Facilities in its TOP Area.”



• Revised tasks to clearly identify what actions are required for an Interchange transaction (IC, BA, TSP, PSE, and LSE)

• Clarified TSP task of acquiring Ancillary Services “Acquire Ancillary Services to support Transmission Service.”

• Clarified DP task includes delivery to end-use customer or

distribution-connected energy resource(s) “Provide and operate electrical delivery Facilities between

the Transmission system and the end-use customer or distribution-connected energy resource.”


Project Timeline Going Forward

• July 22 – September 7: Post proposed revisions for 45-day industry comment period

• September/October: FMAG meeting to review industry comments and revise FM and FMTD based on industry feedback

• December: Present final revisions to the FM and FMTD to standing committees (OC, PC, and CIPC) for endorsement

MOD-025-2 Jay Loock

O&P Senior Compliance Auditor August 18, 2016

WECC Compliance Outreach Open Webinar

Objectives

• MOD-025-2 vs MOD-026 / MOD-027 • WECC Generator Testing Program • MOD-025-2 Implementation • MOD-025-2 Audit Approach

MOD-025 vs MOD-26 / MOD-027

• MOD-025-2 – Verification and Data Reporting of Generator Real and Reactive

Power Capability and Synchronous Condenser Reactive Power Capability

• MOD-026-1

– Verification of Models and Data for Generator Excitation Control System or Plant Volt/Var Control Functions

• MOD-027-1 – Verification of Models and Data for Turbine/Governor and Load

Control or Active Power/Frequency Control Functions


• MOD-025-2 • Individual generating unit greater than 20 MVA (gross

nameplate rating) directly connected to the BES

• MOD-026-1 • Individual generating unit greater than 75 MVA (gross

nameplate rating) directly connected to the BES • MOD-027-1

• Individual generating unit greater than 75 MVA (gross nameplate rating) directly connected to the BES


• MOD-025-2 • 5-year unit verification period

• MOD-026-1

• 10-year unit verification period

• MOD-027-1 • 10-year unit verification period


From the June 3-5, 2015, CUG Outreach in SLC Presentation: “Audit Approach MOD-026 & MOD-027” Slide 33 states that the WECC Generator Testing Program satisfies the requirements of these two standards…

This is still the audit approach.

WECC Generator Testing Program

• Open-circuit saturation test • D-axis test • Exciter step response test • Partial load rejection test • Reactive capability test • ……others

33


Thermal Capability Curve (D-curve)

Thermal Capability Curve (D-curve)

• Entities must verify these reactive limit

scenarios: –Full load over-excited –Full load under-excited –Min load over-excited –Min load under-excited

34


WECC Reactive capability test

• To determine unit reactive power capabilities in steady-state operating conditions

• Test Procedure – The excitation is varied from minimum MVAR

(absorbing) to maximum MVAR (generating) at rated MW

– Hold for 15 minutes to verify that the minimum and maximum MVAR can be maintained without equipment overheating, alarming, and other prohibited impact

MOD-025-2 data differences

• 15 vs 60 minute test • Ambient conditions • Transformer information • Perform verification individually for every

generating unit • Bottom line…

– Need all information to complete Attachment 2 of the MOD-025-2 Standard

MOD-025-2 data

• What if I did not test for 60 minutes? • Operational data from within the two years

prior to the verification date is acceptable for the verification of either the Real Power or the Reactive Power capability but must meet the criteria (2.1 through 2.4 ) in Attachment 1.

MOD-025-2 Implementation

Standard was approved on March 20, 2014 • 40% by 2016 • 60% by 2017 • 80% by 2018 • 100 % by 2019

MOD-025-2 Audit Approach

Has entity submitted a completed Attachment 2 (or a form containing the same information as identified in Attachment 2) to its Transmission Planner within 90 calendar days of either (i) the date the data is recorded from a staged test; or (ii) the date the data is selected from verification using historical operational data?
