Standards in development Project 2016-01 Modifications to TOP and IRO Standards: Proposed changes to TOP-001 Monitoring non-Bulk Electric System facilities Redundancy and Diverse Routing of Data Exchange Capabilities Testing of the Alternate or Less Frequently Used Data Exchange Capability Standards becoming effective in 2017 TOP-001-3 (R9, R19 and R20) Requires each TOP and BA to notify its RC and known impacted interconnected entities of all planned outages, and unplanned outages of 30 minutes or more, for telemetering and control equipment, monitoring and assessment capabilities, and associated communication channels between the affected entities. Also requires each TOP and BA to have data exchange capabilities with the entities that it has identified that it needs data from in order to maintain reliability. TOP-003-3 (R1-R5) Requires each TOP and BA to document and distribute data requests for all data required to perform its monitoring, analyses and assessments; and for each data-owner to satisfy the data request.
