Summary:

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation will host a webinar to review the Joint Review of Protection System Commissioning Programs report that was published on November 4, 2021. In April 2020, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Regional Entities (collectively), joint staff review team initiated a joint review to assess certain registered entities’ (hereinafter, participants) protection system testing or protection system commissioning (PSC) programs and procedures. The joint staff review team was initiated after a review of a sample of the Misoperation Information Data Analysis System (MIDAS) data indicated that an estimate of between 18 percent and 36 percent of misoperations in MIDAS, on January 1, 2019, can be attributed to issues that should have been detected through PSC. The goal of the review was to reduce misoperations attributable to PSC by identifying opportunities for improvement and developing recommendations and best practices for registered transmission and generator owners’ PSC programs. The joint staff review was not a compliance or enforcement initiative. In conducting this review, the joint staff review team gathered information and examined PSC programs from a representative sample of eight participants with diverse Bulk-Power System geographical locations and one contractor entity with experience aiding registered entities with their PSC programs.
