2010 SGS Study Conference User Group Sessions Survey INSTRUCTIONS

System Name

Subject Area

Topic

Reliability Decision Support Using Data Management and Analysis INTEREST

Key Process Indicators used for your Transmission Business (Who, What,

When, Where, Why, How). Are they a “dashboard” with sophisticated

gauges or a simple format (e..g., red-yellow-green stoplight)? Are KPIs

used for incentives (if so, how)?

Examples of Applying the SGS Study Results

Development and Application of Circuit Importance Measures

Examples of Statistical Analysis of Reliability

Lessening Transmission Impacts on Distribution Systems

 Application of Probabilistic Methods

Decision Support Methods for Budgeting Maintenance Resources

What sort of outage exclusion or Screening Criteria does your system use?

Weather Normalization (removing the effects of weather to assess

underlying reliability)

Transmission Benchmarking

How are Results from Between-System Benchmarking Surveys Used?

What are the most effective forums for between-system information

exchange?

Does your system benchmark costs and practices? If so how and where?

How are results used and interpreted?

Success Stories INTEREST

Does your system have long-term, sustainable improving reliability trends?

If so, how have you accomplished this and how will they be maintained?

Individual Line or Area improvement success stories (Who, What, When,

Where, Why, How)

NERC TADS, RMWG and Regional Entity Reliability Reporting

Experience with Implementing, Interpreting or Applying NERC TADS

Results (either from SGS or NERC)

 Application of Results from NERC TADS or WECC Common Transmission

Outage Database

Experience with NERC RMWG metrics – data provision, use of results, etc.

Will NERC RMWG metrics supplant internal KPIs (i.e., similar to state

distribution reliability mandates?)

Capital Projects and Major Project Management

Decision Support Methods for Budgeting Capital Resources

Experiences of systems involved in major, system-wide transmissionCapEx?

Transmission Engineering and Maintenance

Transmission Line Engineering Practices (structures, designs, insulation,

grounding)

Transmission Line Inspection Practices

Restoration and Recovery from Disasters

Maintenance Practices for “Old” Lines and Facilities

Determination of “End of Life” and Replacement for Transmission Lines

and Facilities

Maintenance Management Systems (What does your organization use?

e.g., SAP, Maximo, Cascade, etc.). How are these system utilized in terms

of helping your maintenance organization prioritize work (time based PMs,

condition based, both?).

Post Event and Root Cause Analysis INTEREST

 Analysis and Mitigation of Lightning (FALLS or other options). FALLS and

lightning correlation criteria (DFR satellite time-stamp or largest amplitude

stroke)

What is your practice for establishing a threshold for determining that

lightning caused outages are non-preventable (stroke KVA vs. BIL rating of 

line)?

Use of TADS and TADS+/TOOF root cause descriptors

Internal Root Cause determination practices and procedures

When is post-event line patrol warranted? What is the feedback process

from the field to communicate patrol findings?

Regulation

Impacts or Oversight of State or Provincial Regulation on Load-Serving

Transmission

Miscellaneous Topics

Implementation of New Technologies (e.g., System Protection, Planning,Operations, new Outage tracking systems)

Reliability Programs, Organizational Practices and Methods (e.g., Six

Sigma, Lean Methods, etc)
