7514: Controlling to NERC Standards : Interconnection Operations
The objective of "System Control" is to bring about an orderly flow of power from the generating source to the load (power consumer) while maintaining the utmost level of safety, reliability and stability throughout the system. This course discusses the requirements and procedures of "System Control" and the relationships of these requirements and procedures to applicable NERC Standards.
7516: Controlling to NERC Standards – Generation Control and Performance
Aspects of generation control and performance are discussed throughout the course through the application of relevant NERC Standards pertaining to specific aspects of system control.
7517 - Controlling to NERC Standards: Aspects of System Operations
This course is an excellent way to brush up on those NERC Standards that are important components of many aspects of system operations and to the proper execution of system operations.This module deals with aspects of NERC TOP and VAR Standards of control area transmission, operations, coordination and voltage and reactive control. 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
7518 - Controlling to NERC Standards: System Transactions & Coordination
This module stresses information dealing with a number of issues related to the transfer of energy on the power system as well as the background necessary to fully understand interchange schedules that result from transaction tags established by PSEs.
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.
