Today’s LiveWire Spotlight examines the second drafts of IRO-002-5 and TOP-001-4 Draft 2 – two NERC standards governing the collection and exchange of situational awareness data. They address three reliability actions directed by FERC concerning the monitoring of non-BES facilities and the diverse routing of data exchange capabilities between operating entities.
The second drafts of IRO-002-5 and TOP-001-4 have been posted for a 45-day review and informal ballot. Clients have until October 14, 2016 to provide comments back to the drafting team and vote on the standards.
