PER-005 1, “
System Personnel Training”
Purpose/Applicability
Purpose: To ensure that System Operators performing real-time, reliability-related tasks on the North American Bulk Electric System (BES) are competent to perform those reliability related tasks.
Reliability Coordinator
RC TOP
Reliability related tasks on the BES
BA
Transmission Operator Balancing Authority

PER-005 2, “
Operations Personnel Training”
Purpose/Applicability
Purpose: To ensure that personnel performing or supporting Real-time operations on the Bulk Electric System (BES) are trained “Certain” using a systematic approach.
GOP
Reliability Coordinator
ENFORCEMENT 7/1/2016
Generator Operator
“Certain” TO
Reliability related tasks on the BES Transmission Owner Balancing Authority Transmission Operator

PER-005-2 (Enforceable 7-1-2016 )
•
Expansion of “Applicable Entities”
Recognizes that personnel OTHER than System Operators need formal Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) if they perform RR tasks!
20
IEEE/WGOT December 9-10, 2014, Orlando FL
“Other” Personnel - TO
•
Expanded list of “Applicable Entities”
• RC, BA, TOP (as before), but added 4.1.4
Transmission Owner
that has: 4.1.4.1 Personnel, excluding field switching personnel, who can act independently to operate or direct the operation of the Transmission Owner’s Bulk Electric System transmission Facilities in Real-time.
Addresses FERC Directive about “Local Transmission Control Center (LTCC)” Personnel. Under direction of TOP, but exercise control over a significant portion of the BES. Example?
IEEE/WGOT December 9-10, 2014, Orlando FL
“Other” Personnel - GOP
21 •
Expanded list of “Applicable Entities”
• RC, BA, TOP (as before), but added: 4.1.5
Generator Operator
that has: 4.1.5.1 Dispatch personnel at a centrally located dispatch center who receive direction from the Generator Operator’s Reliability Coordinator, Balancing Authority, Transmission Operator, or Transmission Owner, and may develop specific dispatch instructions for plant operators under their control.
These personnel do not include plant operators located at a generator plant site or personnel at a centrally located dispatch center who relay dispatch instructions without making any modifications.
Addresses FERC directive about including “generator operators”. NOT plant operators of individual units!
Example: BA directs GOP to deliver 300 MW to grid and GOP’s central dispatch determines best way to deliver from its portfolio of units . . .the key is – does GOP have decision-making duties?

New NERC Glossary Definition: Operations Support Personnel
Individuals who perform current day or next day outage coordination or assessments, or who determine SOLs, IROLs, or operating nomograms, in direct support of Real-time operations of the Bulk Electric System.
23
IEEE/WGOT December 9-10, 2014, Orlando FL
Revised NERC Glossary Definition: System Operator
An Individual at a Control Center of a Balancing Authority, Transmission Operator, or Reliability Coordinator, who operates or directs the operation of the Bulk Electric System (BES) in Real-time.

Comparison Highlights
PER-005-1 PER-005-2
3 Requirements • R1: SAT for RC, BA, TOP • R2: Verify RR Tasks • R3: 32 hours emergency ops training per year – R3.1: Simulation technology for emergency training if entity meets IROL/SOL criteria 6 Requirements • R1: SAT for RC, BA, TOP • R2: SAT for applicable TOs • R3: Verify RR Tasks • R4: Simulation technology for emergency training if entity meets IROL/SOL criteria • R5: SAT for Operations Support Personnel • R6: SAT for applicable GOPs

PER-005-2:
FERC Directives Addressed
• Includes Local Transmission Control Center Personnel (TO) – Order 742 • Includes applicable GOPs Order 693 • Includes outage coordination & assessment personnel and those who determine SOL/IROLs and operating nomograms. Order 693 • Considers an implementation plan for entities gaining IROL control/authority and thus becoming subject to R4. The implementation plan is that the entity has 12 months to comply with R4.
Order 742
26
IEEE/WGOT December 9-10, 2014, Orlando FL PER-005-2:
32 EOPs Hours Eliminated
• To mandate a pre-set number of hours is inconsistent with a systematic approach to training (SAT). • The number of emergency training hours should be dictated by the RR tasks that need to be trained upon
.
• The removal of 32 hours is also considered to qualify for paragraph 81 because it is redundant to SAT process.

Summary
The original PER Training Standard, “Operating Personnel Training” (PER-002-0) was among the top 10 most violated standards.
• PER-005 1 has a much better compliance “track record” PER-005 1, “System Personnel Training” is currently in effect. Fully enforceable on April 1, 2014, will be retired June 30, 2016.
PER-005-2, the emerging standard, has broader applicability and more requirements than the currently enforceable standard. It also eliminates the 32 EOPs hours per year.
