What is NERC?
• Northeast U.S. blackout of 1965
• Electric Power Reliability Act of 1967
• Ten regional councils
• Organizational objectives– Define and measure reliability– Influence and interpret legislation regarding
the power industry– Study interregional connections

Introduction to the Operating Policies
NERC Doctrine• Policies -- Place responsibility for operating
reliability on the Control Areas
• Standards -- Requirements that are measurable and may be audited with surveys
• Requirements -- Describe the obligations of a Control Area
• Guides -- Operating practices to be considered

Control Area
• An electrical system bounded by interconnection (tie-line) metering and telemetry
• Two requirements:– Directly controls its generation to balance
its actual and scheduled interchange– Helps regulate and stabilize the
Interconnection’s alternating-current frequency

Security Coordinators
• Established in 1996
• Established the requirements for sharing of data and information about the “health” of the Interconnection
• Established the Interregional Security Network for each Interconnection
• Required every Region, subregion, or interregional coordinating group to establish a Security Coordinator
• Required that each Region develop a security plan
• Rely on common operating terminology, criteria and standards

Confirmation as a Control Area
To be recognized as a NERC-Certified CONTROL AREA, the entity must be
reviewed by the REGIONAL COUNCIL in which the entity is a member and and
confirmed that it meets the requirements of the specified Criteria.
