Coordinate Operations Standards:

IRO-014

Procedures, Process or Plans to Support Coordinate Between Reliability Coordinators

IRO-015 Notification and Information Exchange

Between Reliability Coordinators

IRO-016 Coordination of Real-Time Activities Between

Reliability Coordinators


Key Concepts Purpose & Scope

Ensure RC’s operations are coordinated such that there’s no adverse impact on other RCs

Preserve the reliability benefits of interconnected operations

Focus solely on RC to RC coordination


Key Concepts: Build on Other Standards

Other Standards Require: Each RC must be Certified Each RC must have procedures, processes

& plans for its own area Each RC must monitor & direct others to

protect its own area


Key Concepts:Require RC to RC Cooperation Agree to take actions under specified

conditions (documented in procedures, processes, plans)

Exchange information Notify others of impactive conditions or

events

Coordinate actions


IRO-014Procedures, Processes, Plans

Ensure documents address all required topics Have agreement from those who will take actions Have latest version of each document available to

system operators (includes those developed by other RCs)

Company-specific version of documents developed by other RCs may be developed to support (not replace) an RC to RC document

Available to system operators Reference source document Support source document


IRO-014Procedures, Processes, Plans

Documents that require notification, information exchange or coordination involving multiple RCs

‘Impactive’ operating scenarios Other activities:

Communication and real-time notifications

Energy and capacity shortages Outage information Voltage control Information exchanged to support

reliability assessments


IRO-015 Notifications & Information Exchange

Follow approved procedures: Notify other RCs of impactive issues

Participate in agreed-upon conference calls and other communications forums

Provide reliability-related information upon request


IRO-016Coordination

RC that identifies a problem notifies impacted RCs

RCs involved agree on problem, solution, actions –document actions & notify others

If RCs disagree – each re-evaluates conflicting information, takes action to preserve RC Area and Interconnection, documents actions & notifies others


Blackout Findings:

Need to communicate emergency conditions to neighbor systems

These standards: Require a procedure (agreed-upon with other

RCs) for making notifications Require following procedure in making

notifications of anything ‘impactive’ to another RC’s Area

Require participation in agreed-upon conference calls and other communications forums


Implementation Plan – Revise V0

COM-002 Communications and Coordination

EOP-002 Capacity and Energy Emergencies

IRO-003 RC – Wide Area View

IRO-004 RC – Operations Planning

IRO-005 RC – Current Day Operations

TOP-005 Operational Reliability Information


COM-002 Communications & Coordination

Revise/retire requirements R2., R2.1, R2.2, R2.3 for RC to relay information to other RCs for a select set of scenarios

New standards require RCs to relay information to one another for a wider scope of scenarios


EOP-002 Capacity & Energy Emergencies

Retire/revise requirements R2 and R4 for RC to implement its capacity and energy emergency plan & inform other RCs

New standards require RCs to coordinate the development and implementation


IRO-003 RC – Wide Area ViewIRO-005 Current Day Operations

Retire/revise requirements (IRO-003 R2 and IRO-005 R11) to notify neighboring RC of operational concerns in the neighboring RC Area

New standards require notification and cooperation in resolving the operational concern


IRO-004RC – Operations Planning

Retire requirement R6 for RC to initiate a conference call if warranted based on a reliability analysis

New standards require RCs to initiate conference calls for a wider array of scenarios


IRO-004 - RC – Operations Planning

Modify the RCs requirements to issue alerts (IRO-004 R7 and IRO-005 R15)

New Standards require notifications for a wider array of scenarios – alerts may not be practical for all situations – new Standards don’t reference a specific tool


IRO-005RC – Current Day Operations

Retire part of R7 that requires the RC to participate in NERC hotline discussions

New Standards require participation in a wider array of communications for a more specific set of scenarios – new Standards don’t reference a specific tool



Retire part of R9 that requires the RC to coordinate with other RCsto develop action plans for exceeding limits and to coordinate outages

New Standards require coordination be agreed upon in advance and then coordinated per agreement for a wide array of scenarios, including limits and outages



Retire parts of R12 that require the RC to be aware of the impact of a special protection system on inter-area flows

New Standards require the RCs to have procedures that address issues in one RC Area that may have an adverse reliability impact on other RC Areas


TOP-005 Operational Reliability Information

Retire requirement (R5) for the RC to share data needed for reliability assessments and coordination of operations

New Standards require coordination be agreed upon in advance and then coordinated per agreement for a wide array of scenarios, including coordination of info needed for reliability assessments


Effective Dates 1st Ballot Oct 4 – 13, 2005

2nd Ballot Oct 21-31, 2005

BOT Adoption Nov 1, 2005

Effective Nov 1, 2006

RCs have 1 full year to become compliant
