PER-005 Fast Track Compliance

For over 20 years IncSys has been an innovator in the development and implementation of forward thinking solutions to meet the evolving challenges of power system operators. The newest challenge is NERC Standard PER-005. All Reliability Coordinators, Balancing Authorities, and Transmission Operators need to become aware of how this NERC standard will significantly transform your company's training requirements. Now companies must:

» Create a list of company-specific reliability-related tasks performed by System Operators
» Develop learning objectives and DELIVER training materials based on the task list
» Verify & document that each System Operator is capable to perform each task identified
» Every 12 months provide each System Operator with 32 hours of emergency operations training, which includes system restoration drills, exercises, or other training
» Provide each System Operator with emergency operations training using simulation technology (NOTE: requirement is currently dependent of relationship to IROLs)

Solution

With the release of PowerSimulator in 1999, all power system operators were given access to the unparalleled training capability of simulation without the hassle of EMS vendors and long delay times for engineering. PowerSImulator can have a simulator of your model up and running in 3 months. Now any size organization can afford to train with simulation.

"We tell our clients, don't just comply with PER-005, but train well. Let us help you use simulation to both comply with the standard and help you deliver the best possible training program."

- Dr. Robin Podmore, IncSys President

Clients work with an IncSys representative to develop a training plan using simulation which can help any organization:

» Own a system-specific simulator
» Develop systematic exercises which train to the specific job task list
» Document the effectiveness of your simulation training program
» Ensure the training program is adequate to pass NERC audit
» Prepare for future modifications to the standards (read FERC PER-005 comments)

The products and programs using PowerSimulator™ are designed to meet the NERC simulation compliance standards:
