CONFERENCE PROGRAMWednesday,
March 14, 20188:00-8:30 a.m. Welcome and Introductions
8:30-9:15 a.m. The Advanced Grid: Xcel Energy’s PerspectiveEric Gupta, Program Manager: Grid Visibility and Control, Xcel EnergyOver the past 10 years, Xcel Energy has partnered with many of its stakeholders and regulators to pilot various aspects of Advanced Grid technologies, and in 2016 reached the point where it began to bring many of those ideas to light on a large scale and filed a request with its Colorado regulators for deployment of more than $500M of new capital investment on its Distribution grid. This pre-sentation will describe Xcel’s focus on Advanced Grid technologies, the approved projects being deployed in Colorado, and the plan for Xcel’s other operating com-panies in the future.
9:15-10:00 a.m. Transmission Tower Monitoring - Grid Sensor Initiative John Lauletta, CEO/CTO, ExacterThe IIoT Grid Sensor Initia-tive drives research, devel-opment, commercialization, and manufacturing of a new smart sensor platform designed for grid outage mitigation. 10 individual sensor functions are being developed for transmission, distribution and under-ground applications. Sensors will have the ability to communicate and integrate with one another in single or separate sensor packages.
The group has received grant funding in excess of $3 million dollars which is coupled with investments from utilities and commercial interests. The University of Akron and technology manu-facturer, Exacter, Inc. of Co-lumbus, OH are leading the development and collabora-tion between utility industry executives, researchers, commercialization special-ists, and manufacturers.
This presentation will intro-duce the Transmission Tower Monitor Sensor project, review the goals and objec-tives of the project, describe how utilities can participate in field trials and evaluations, and establish the plans to monitor large portions of the grid to improve overall grid maintenance and operations.
10:00-10:15 a.m. Networking Break
10:15-11:00 a.m. Where do I Begin? Designing Your Facility On-Time and Under BudgetKen Booth, Senior Facility Design Manager, HDRWhat are the steps to plan-ning and designing a new Operations and Maintenance Facility? An overview of important planning steps to estimate the size of the site, buildings and establishing a budget for a new facility.
11:00-11:45 a.m. Recent and Near Future NERC StandardsDouglas Brown, Reliability Compliance Manager, Western Area Power AdministrationThis presentation will discuss newer NERC Standard Requirements, potential impact to the industry, what was driving the standards
development, challenges, and things we can do as an industry to improve our situation.
11:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.Networking Lunch
1:00-2:00 p.m.Panel: Managing Accountable Outages and Lessons Learned Panelists will discuss how their utilities address this type of event:1. Are accountable outages tracked and if so, what crite-ria is used for determining if it was “accountable”.2. Are they sub-categorized to determine root cause (i.e. design, maintenance, opera-tions), and who determines the root cause (Operations or a standing committee that includes Maintenance and Engineering?).3. Is there a threshold measure for determining the level of investigative report-ing that needs to take place following an accountable outage?4. What measures have utilities put in place to improve their accountable outage record? Have they been successful?
Accountable Outage Program at Western Area Power Administration’s Rocky Mountain RegionPanelist #1: Orlando Reyes, Technical Writer, Power System Operations, Western Area Power AdministrationAn explanation will be provided on how account-able outages are currently defined and processed at WAPA’s Rocky Mountain Region. Since the incep-tion of this program in 2007, additional knowl-edge and tools have been
enhanced throughout vari-ous experiences. As such, this discussion will also include ideas on improv-ing WAPA’s accountable outage process in order to gain more efficient and effective impacts.
Accountable Outages at NPPDPanelist #2: Chris Overman, Director of Safety and Human Performance, Nebraska Public Power DistrictChris will be available as a panel member to describe and illustrate his experiences and some of NPPDs’ lessons-learned as they relate to increasing reliability in Transmission system operations. Topics of interest may include the design and implementa-tion of layers of defenses designed to anticipate, prevent, catch and recover from human errors to minimize disruptions and damages. Also available will be descriptions and if needed illustrations of processes and metrics used to track, trend evalu-ate and focus corrective attention on preventable human errors that lead to consequential outages.
2:00-2:45 p.m.Hurricane Harvey – Lessons LearnedVincent Herrera, Manager, South Texas Engineering, Texas New Mexico PowerThis presentation will cover:

2:45-3:00 p.m. Networking Break
3:00-4:30 p.m. Transmission Vital Issues RoundtableBring roundtable topics for discussion and/or send topics ahead of time to [email protected]. Roundtables offer a unique forum for peer-to-peer shar-ing of experiences, critical issues and expertise. The roundtable is a discussion group, open only to rmEL members. Discussion is based on topics brought by attendees. Roundtables are focused on the open discus-sion period and provide each attendee the oppor-tunity for participation and dialogue on their particular issue. Roundtables are held in conjunction with a conference and many topics presented at the conference are discussed further in the roundtable setting. The roundtable is a good oppor-tunity to share experiences, troubleshoot problems and network with peers in a smaller, informal setting. Each participant is offered a chance to pose questions and share information. All attendees are encouraged to bring issues for discussion and materials for sharing.

WHEN TO INFLUENCE DESIGN
Why Give the Facility Calculator Away? ….Isn’t this what you do for a living?
1. Yes – But it is not what you do. We believe that an informed and prepared owner - armed with a realistic project budget is better for everyone...
o your organization, o the tax payers, o the design professionals you engage
2. Nobody can do what we do - the way we do it.
THE FACILITY CALCULATOR
3 Easy Steps:1. Enter Fleet Information
2. Enter Facility Options
3. Review and Adjust Facility Budget Worksheet
o Excel© Spreadsheet – Limited data entry requirements.
o Data Entry based on your specific facility needs.
o Costs are Calculated on a Per Square Foot (SF) basis and are based on typical, durable, and sustainable materials and appropriate and modern systems and equipment.
o Fully Adjustable and Customizable – you own it!

First day of the first full calendar year that is 12 months after the date that the standard is approved by an applicable governmental authority or as otherwise provided for in a jurisdiction where approval by an applicable governmental authority is required for a standard to go into effect. Where approval by an applicable governmental authority is not required, the standard shall become effective on the first day of the first full calendar year that is 12 months after the date the standard is adopted by the NERC Board of Trustees or as otherwise provided for in that jurisdiction.
There is at least one solution
23WAPA Presentation for RMEL March 2018
I propose a table be provided within the standard that would be populated with the date the Standard is approved by the FERC BOT and would then calculate the dates that entities must be able to demonstrate compliance with each requirement.

Standard Efficiency Review
Project ScopeEvaluate NERC Reliability Standards using a risk-based approach to identify potential efficiencies through retirement or modification of Reliability Standard Requirements. Considering that many Reliability Standards have been mandatory and enforceable for 10+ years in North America, this project seeks to identify potential candidate requirements that are not essential for reliability, could be simplified or consolidated, and could thereby reduce regulatory obligations and/or compliance burden.
