1 NERC Monitoring and Situational Awareness Conference: Loss of Control Center Procedures and Testing Practices Ed Batalla Director of Technology Florida Power & Light Company September 19, 2013

2 Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) Overview FPL EMS Overview FPL Control Centers / Infrastructure Philosophy Problem Statement EMS Availability Viability of Backup Processes Solutions Agenda PLAN: Solidify Backup Procedures PREPARE: Failover Testing Processes MITIGATE: Improve Alternative Real-Time Assessment Tools/Methods Q&A 2

3 Florida Power & Light (FPL) is the largest electric utility in Florida and one of the largest rate-regulated utilities in the United States FPL is a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) One of the largest U.S. electric utilities Vertically integrated, retail rate-regulated 4.6 MM customer accounts 24,653 MW in operation $10.1 B in operating revenues $36 B in total assets FPL Overview NOTE: All data as of June 30, 2013, except operating revenue which is for the year ended December 31,

4 FPL s Energy Management System (EMS) was upgraded on 11/10/2012 it is a major component of the suite of missioncritical systems grouped as Grid Control Systems (GCS) Energy Management System (EMS) Overview Vendor: Commissioned: 11/10/2012 Version: Benefits of the upgrade Improved redundancy and geographic diversity Advanced reliability tools Enhanced cyber security (user authentication) EMS Interfaces Power Plants Substations (T&D) External Utilities Distribution Control Centers Performance Diagnostic Centers Historian Systems Other Corporate Systems FPL s EMS was upgraded to modernize system technology and infrastructure 4

5 FPL has geographically diverse and redundant control centers which contain the Grid Control Systems (GCS) an integral part of our business continuity and recovery plans Backup Control Center (BUCC) Facility FPL EMS is also used by FRCC Reliability Coordinator (RC) Distribution Control Centers (use and access same EMS) Fully functional backup control center capable of being activated within the required standards and has tools that closely replicate the primary control center and minimizes activation confusion System Control Center (SCC) Facility Local Backup Control Center Remote Backup Control Center The control room has emergency communication methods for loss of the primary communication tools; also has access to the Backup Control Center 5

6 FPL s EMS uses state-of-the-art infrastructure systems and technology Infrastructure Design/Philosophy Geographically diverse and redundant control center facilities Each facility equipped with redundant systems, but each facility backs up the other facility Connected via dedicated and redundant communication links Diverse and redundant communications to all FPL substations SCADA data from FPL substations are dual-scanned from both the primary and backup control center facilities Cybersecurity via defense-in-depth philosophy (logical separation of control center network from corporate network) 6

7 There are event categories directly related to the loss of monitoring or control functionality for control centers procedures and testing practices need to be strengthened Event Categories Category 1 Events Unplanned evacuation from a control center facility with BPS SCADA functionality Loss of monitoring or control, at a control center, such that it significantly affects the entity s ability to make operating decisions Category 2 Events Complete loss of all BPS control center voice communication systems Complete loss of SCADA, control or monitoring functionality Source: Electric Reliability Organization Event Analysis Process Version 2 (July 2013) 7

8 FPL implemented solutions to improve control center procedures and testing practices PLAN: Solidify recovery and business continuity plans PREPARE: Validate backup control center processes through actual technology viability validation Failover processes Solutions Track performance MITIGATE: Continuous improvements on alternative real-time assessment tools Measuring performance is key to ensure backup process viability 8

9 FPL has extensive business continuity / recovery plans for all electronic systems Business Continuity Plan (BCP) / Recovery Plan (RP) Primary Control Center Facility Manned with Operators (RC, TOP, BA, IA) Technology Support Provided through Operational Technology Center (OTC) and callout support Backup Control Center Full redundant system (with diverse communication paths) Unmanned no Operators BCP and RP specify criteria for evacuation Technology Support -- remotely supported (technical team located at primary facility) The recovery plan is reviewed and tested annually pursuant to NERC CIP Standards 9

10 BCP and RP has defined a set of criteria to evacuate the primary control facility Evacuation Criteria Criteria for Evacuation Incapacitated facility (fire, terrorist attack) Total loss of building power supply Critical function unavailability at the primary control center facility With no ability to connect to backup control center servers Redundant pair EMS or SCADA Front End not available Evacuation Process and Interim Provisions Since the backup control center is unmanned, FPL implemented interim control centers to facilitate evacuation process to meet the EOP Standards Local Backup Control Center (adjacent building) Remote Backup Control Center (approx. 5 miles away) 10

11 Health of the system is monitored constantly by 24/7 technology personnel System and Application Health Check FPL established the Operational Technology Center (OTC) organization to improve operational certainty 11

12 Improved monitoring process capabilities with alarming on CA failures CA Solution Progress Monitoring Dashboards were developed to improve situational awareness on real-time assessment tool viability OTC and operators are instructed to be on the high alert for CA yellow and red bar displays 12

13 A CONS OPS button has been added to access Conservative Operations display shows contingency data at key interfaces (in case CA is not available) Conservative Operations Cons Ops Button 13

14 FPL s EMS/SCADA uses high-speed replication of data between two control center sites Memory Replication Services (MRS) is used to replicate data between systems Essential to support failover schemes MRS to Support Failover Schemes Critical operational data is replicated automatically MRS provides a state-of-the-art, high availability configuration and failover scheme for FPL s EMS/SCADA 14

15 FPL purposely performs a weekly scheduled failover of its EMS (and corresponding peripheral systems) to ensure viability of its critical systems (primary and backup systems) Testing Practices Weekly Scheduled Failover Test Cycle through different system configuration to ensure viability Ensures that failover logic is fully functional Coordinated with all users (done every Wednesday morning) Other EOP processes and procedures reinforced during operator training Operators cycle through familiarization of backup systems and control centers CIP required test of recovery plan fulfilled (at least annually) 15

16 Target (Max minutes downtime) Unplanned EMS Unavailability Cumulative Downtime YTD = minutes EMS Unplanned Unavailability Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec G O O D Planned and Unplanned Unplanned FPL tracks cumulative EMS unavailability as part of its key performance indicators 16

17 Depending on the situation, FPL incorporated processes for operators to access alternative real-time assessment tools Alternative Real-Time Assessment Tools Flowgate Display Pre-calculated flowgate limits Uses data that is not dependent on the EMS Other displays were developed that uses non-ems data sources CA solution sharing between reliability entities within the FRCC Currently being piloted 17

18 FPL has three major focus areas for its continuous improvement plan to continue to strengthen control center procedures and testing practices Final Note Reliability entities need to continue to strengthen control center procedures and testing practices FPL has three major focus areas for its continuous improvement plan: PLAN: Solidify recovery and business continuity plans PREPARE: Validate backup control center processes through actual technology viability validation MITIGATE: Continuous improvements on alternative real-time assessment tools 18
