MOPC Meeting Oct , 2016
Little Rock, AR
Ron Ciesiel SPP RE General Manager

2. Violations by Year

3. GO/TO Self Certification, Sept. 2016
New standards effective 7/1/16 with phased-in implementation
MOD – Verification of Generator Real and Reactive Power Capability and Synchronous Condenser Reactive Capability
PRC Coordination of Generating Unit or Plant Capabilities, Voltage Regulating Controls and Protection
PRC – Generator Frequency and Voltage Protective Relay Settings
40% of applicable generation units capability tested or settings verified by 7/1/16
Based on each NERC registration
e.g. Entity registers one wind farm; it needs to be fully compliant by 7/1/16

4. GO Self Certification, Sept. 2016
71 violations reported as of 9/30/16
MOD-025-2: 30 violations
PRC-019-2: 14 violations
PRC-024-2: 27 violations
Primarily individually registered wind farms
Reasons:
Did not understand Implementation Plan
Arranging outages for testing
Awaiting third-party availability for testing

Chart represents most violated standards at SPP RE
NERC 2016 Top 10 most violated standards are noted with an asterisk (*)
MOD-025-2, PRC-024-2, and PRC include new requirements for Generators effective July 1, MOD also applies to synchronous condensers. Of the violations in the chart, the following came in through SELF-CERTIFICATION: Mod-025 = 30; PRC-019 = 14; and PRC-024 = 27. The violations in the chart are slightly higher because they also include the SELF-REPORTS that came in ahead of the SELF-CERTIFICATION.
The current period is the most recent 12 months.
The previous period is the previous 12 months.
