1 State of Reliability Report 2013 Jessica Bian, Director of Performance Analysis Reliability Assessment and Performance Analysis (RAPA), NERC Risk Issues Steering Committee Meeting, July 11-12, 2013
2 State of Reliability Report NERC s annual, independent assessment of reliability performance Provides an integrated view of reliability performance The report assesses 18 metrics that address the characteristics of an adequate level of reliability Guidance that enables industry and policy makers to take effective steps and make sound decisions supporting reliability The Report is a step forward and it delivers analytical information which can be used for Project Prioritization Process Improvement Characterization and Identification of Risk Development of coordinated and multifunctional solutions 2
3 Metrics and Performance Analysis History Reliability Metrics Working Group formed, reporting to NERC Operating Committee (OC) and Planning Committee (PC) reliability metrics approved by OC and PC, details at: G_Metric_Report pdf 2010 Another 9 metrics approved by OC and PC, first annual performance report published: G_AnnualReport6.1.pdf 2011 Second reliability performance report published: RARPR_FINAL.pdf 3
4 Performance Analysis History (continued) 2012 First annual state of reliability report 2013 Second state of reliability report New in 2013 Advanced risk identification methods Consistent and predicable pattern Correlation between initiating factors and transmission outage events Used in other industries (NASA, NRC, etc.) extremely effective 4

14 Protection System Misoperations Task Force (PSMTF) Analysis Reviewed historical (pre-2011) Regional Entity misoperations Analyzed 1,500+ misoperations from January 1, 2011 to April 1, 2012 submitted in NERC misoperations template Focused on top 3 misoperation causes: Incorrect settings/logic/design Relay failure/malfunction Communication failures Classified misoperations in top 3 misoperation causes by sub causes Based on the analysis of top issues, developed suggestions for improvement to reduce top misoperation areas Recommended data monitoring and data improvements 14
15 Misoperations by Cause Code NERC-wide Misoperations by Cause Code (Jan 1, 2011 April 1, 2012) Communication failures, 396, 17% AC system, 193, 8% As-left personnel error, 201, 9% DC system, 112, 5% Relay failures / malfunctions, 465, 20% Unknown / unexplainable, 273, 12% Incorrect setting / logic / design errors, 628, 28% Other, 11, 1% 15
16 Suggestions for Improvement Proper Application of Relay Elements Settings Errors Microprocessor-based Relay Firmware Application of Power Line Carrier Communication Aided Protection Performance Monitoring and Data Improvements 16
17 Settings Errors Misoperations due to setting errors can potentially be reduced. Techniques that could be used to reduce the application of incorrect settings include: Peer reviews Increased training More extensive fault studies Standard templates for setting standard schemes using complex relays Periodic review of existing settings when there is a change in system topography The IEEE Power System Relaying Subcommittee, IEEE PSRC, published a working group report to provide additional technical guidance for protective relay setting quality control. 17
18 Risk Patterns/Event Analysis NERC Event Analysis 2012 o 116 Category 1-5 Events o 42 Events (36%) with misoperations ALR1-4 - Transmission outage events led to firm load loss Only Two events in 2012 o Oct 15, 2012, 665 MW firm load loss due to relay misoperations o Dec 6, 2012, 300 MW+ firm load loss due to SPS/RAS misoperation Preliminary 2013 Event Analysis as of 4/30/ events, 10 with misoperations 18
19 NERC/Industry Actions One of High Priority Risk Issues from RISC 15+ Lessons Learned distributed since 2010 PSMTF Report Approved by PC in April 8, 2013 Developed targeted, actionable solutions for registered entities to reduce misoperations Enhance data reporting, including subcause codes NERC Industry Webinar May 7, 2013 Highlighted three identified primary causes Suggested registered entities to apply the solutions based on their particular circumstances. 19
