• Why the seemingly sudden interest in NERC PRC-005-2 within the Electric Utility Industry?
• Why the inclusion of stationary batteries in the NERC PRC-005-2 Standard?
• How broad is the scope of NERC PRC-005-2?
• And, what does it mean?
A Few Questions that Form the Backdrop for this Presentation
![Page 4: NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in ... · PDF filein Substations and Power Generation Plants ... NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in Substations](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5a8a24657f8b9adb648bd08e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• First, What is the Mission (or Goal) of NERC?To ensure the reliability of the North American (USA & Canada) bulk power system.
• Second, What are the Means for Accomplishing this Goal? Hold entities accountable for compliance with mandatory
Reliability standards
Act as a catalyst for positive change within the industry
A Bit of Background
![Page 5: NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in ... · PDF filein Substations and Power Generation Plants ... NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in Substations](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5a8a24657f8b9adb648bd08e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• NERC defines reliability as “ensuring that the Bulk Electric System [BES] or Bulk Power System [BPS] is able to meet the electricity needs of all end-user customers, even when unexpected equipment failures reduce the amount of available electricity.”
Please Define Reliability
![Page 6: NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in ... · PDF filein Substations and Power Generation Plants ...

• NERC states that membership is open to all entities interested in the Bulk Power System
• However, there are 12 or 14 membership categories depending on your breakdown:
Who Makes up NERC?
Investor Owned Utility Electricity Marketer
State or Municipal Utility Large End-User Electricity Customer
Cooperative Utility Small End-User Electricity Customer
Federal or Provincial Utility Independent System Operator
Power Marketing Administrator Regional Transmission Organization
Transmission dependent Utility Regional entity
Merchant Electricity Generator Government Representative

• Eight (8) Regions have been established to ensure Implementation of the NERC Standards throughout the United States:
1. NPCC – Northeast Power Coordinating Council2. RFC-Reliability First Corporation3. SERC-Southeastern Reliability Corporation4. FRCC-Florida Reliability Coordinating Council5. TRE-Texas Reliability Entity [aka ERCOT]6. SPP-Southwest Power Pool7. MRO-Midwest Reliability Organization8. WECC-Western Electricity Coordinating Council
But what about the Regional Service Contractors?

PRC-005 is one of the 83 approved standards
A Glossary of Terms is also approved to define “reliability” in the context of the approved “standards”
NERC is required to submit significant improvements in 56 of the approved 83, with PRC-005 being one of them
FERC also mandates that PRC-008, PRC-011 and PRC-017 be combined into PRC-005

What Are the Consequences of Non Compliance?
• Compliance monitoring – assess, investigate, evaluate, and audit to measure compliance with NERC standards.
• Compliance enforcement – penalties and sanctions (could be up to $1,000,000 per day); penalties based on Violation Risk Factors, Violation Severity Levels, and Violation History.
• Mitigation – Entities found in violation of any standard must submit a mitigation plan for approval by NERC and must execute this plan as submitted

So What’s my Obligation?
Requirement R1:
“Each Owner shall establish a Protection System Maintenance Program (PSMP) for its Protection Systems identified in Section 4.2 (detecting faults on BES, under-frequency load-shedding, under-voltage load-shedding, Special Protection System, trip generator directly or via lockout or auxiliary relay, generator step-up transformer, transformers for aggregated generation, and generator station service transformer).”

What Is the Distinction with Station Batteries?
The Implications are articulated in Requirements R1, 1.1:
1.1 Identify which maintenance method (time-based, performance-based or a combination) is used to address each Protection System Component Type. All batteries associated with the station dc supply Component Type of a Protection System shall be included in a time-basedprogram as described in Table 1-4 and Table 3.

Why Is Time-based Maintenance my Only Option?
Requirement R3
Each Owner that utilizes time-based maintenanceprogram(s) shall maintain its Protection System Components that are included within the time-based maintenance program in accordance with the minimum maintenance activities and maximum maintenance intervals prescribed within Tables 1-1 through 1-5, Table 2, and Table 3.

What Does PRC-005-2 Say We Must Do?
Tables 1-4(a) thru 1-4(f) specifically address requirements for batteries (dc power supply):
Table Component Type
Table 1-4(a) Vented Lead-Acid (VLA) Batteries
Table 1-4(b) Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) Batteries
Table 1-4(c) Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) Batteries
Table 1-4(d) Non Battery Based Energy Storage (e.g. NAS, flywheel, etc.)
Table 1-4(e) Non-BES Interrupting Devices (see Note)
Table 1-4(f) Exclusions if using Station dc Supply Monitoring Devices
Note: Tables 1-4(e) needs to be subject of a separate discussion, and is not the initial primary concern of the SBC NERC TF.

4 Calendar Months• Verify Station dc supply voltage• Inspect Electrolyte level• Check for unintentional grounds
18 Calendar Months
• Verify:• Float voltage of the battery charger• Battery continuity of all cells• Battery terminal connection resistance• Battery intercell or unit/unit connection resistance
• Inspect:• Condition of all cells where visible; measure internal ohmic
values of all cells where not visible• Inspect physical condition of battery rack

Summary & Conclusion
1. NERC PRC-005-2 is now a required standard for all functional entities.
2. This standard will force all functional entities who fall under the NERC umbrella to adopt a Protection System Maintenance Program (PSMP) if they don’t already have one:1) Enforces a minimum requirement to a maximum time interval2) Applies to the Protection and Control system only within the BPS/BES
3. Audits are part of the process, and fines will be assessed for non-compliance.

Summary & Conclusion4. The Supplemental Guide and FAQ encourages complete battery
maintenance procedures in accordance with IEEE 450/1188/1106 serving as excellent guidelines for most reliable service.
5. The functional entity must define its meaning of true battery reliability .Note: Reliability may not necessarily equate to capacity as it relates to this
standard.
6. Ohmic measurements are not a true source for measuring battery string capacity until more data substantiates the correlation.

NERC PRC-005-2 and Its Impact on Stationary Batteries in Substations](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5a8a24657f8b9adb648bd08e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Summary & Conclusion7. Each user must assess his/her own risk management tolerance and
understand the consequences of failure if he/she does not perform capacity testing at all.
8. Four Options:1) Ohmic Measurement Test every 6 or 18 monthsthat should lead to
Condition Based Capacity Testing on a “demand basis” determined by careful analysis
2) Capacity Test every 3 or 6 years (or)
3) Automatic Replacement at shortened intervals
4) Ignore or Modify the first 3 Options at the entity’s peril
