1 Analysis of EMS Outages Venkat Tirupati, LCRA, Supervisor EMS & Advanced Applications NERC 2 nd Annual Monitoring and Situational Awareness Conference September 22, 2
2 Agenda Introduction Common themes with examples Analysis of EMS outage restorations Contributing and Root Cases Q & A 2
3 Introduction Energy Management Systems (EMS) are extremely reliable EMS Outages increase the risk to the reliability of the grid From October 26, 2 September, 2 86 Category 2b events reported From October, 2 September, 2 7 Category 2b events & 57 Category h events reported entities reported either a h or a 2b or both 7 experiencing multiple outages Several noticeable themes
4 Introduction Event Category (Oct, 2 Sept, 2) 2b - Complete loss of SCADA, control or monitoring functionality for minutes or more - 7 h - Loss of monitoring or control, at a control center, such that it significantly affects the entity s ability to make operating decisions for continuous minutes or more - 57 Examples include, but are not limited to the following: I. Loss of operator ability to remotely monitor, control Bulk Electric System (BES) elements, or both - 5 II. Loss of communications from SCADA RTUs - 6 III. Unavailability of ICCP links reducing BES visibility - 7 IV. Loss of the ability to remotely monitor and control generating units via AGC - 6 V. Unacceptable State Estimator or Contingency Analysis solutions - 2
5 Introduction Event Category Counts (Oct, 2 Sept, 2) Event Category Counts 25 2 Event Count b - Complete h.i - Partial h.ii - RTUs h.iii - ICCP h.iv - AGC h.v - SE/CA Event Analysis Category 5
6 Common Themes for Complete Outages Facilities maintenance affecting EMS Planned UPS work led to events. Software failures Bugs in network infrastructure firmware Latent bugs in network encryption software Bug in vendor front end code Incorrect scripts Configuration Firewall Improper VLANs Switch Memory allocation File system mounts 6
7 Common Themes for Partial Outages Software bugs Contingency Analysis code ICCP code AGC code Initialization routines Modeling of external network Inadequate Incorrect statuses Incorrect tap positions Human Performance Error Set tuning parameters Turn on automatic SE/CA runs Alarm for failed SE/CA runs 7
8 Common Themes for Partial Outages External Vendor or Contractor Leased lines from ATT, Verizon etc. SONET ring maintenance Hardware failure NIC Cards Inverters Routers Failover Testing Incorrect procedures Missing files Corrupted executables 8
