NPCC Whitepaper on NERC Reliability Standard CIP-012

NPCC Whitepaper on NERC Reliability Standard CIP-012

• The whitepaper supports a coordinated approach to meeting the requirements of the CIP-012-1 standard for NPCC Reliability Coordinators (RCs), Balancing Authorities (BAs), and Transmission Operators (TOPs). Consistent with CIP-012-1, the coordinated approach in this document includes NPCC Transmission Owners (TOs), Generator Operators (GOPs), and Generator Owners (GOs). This document is intended to address those cases of communication paths between RCs, BAs, TOPs, TOs, GOPs, and GOs as well as cases of communications of Real-Time Assessment and Real-time Monitoring data between Control Centers of a single Responsible Entity.
• This whitepaper discusses a risk management process and methodology for CIP-012-1 as opposed to becoming overly involved with explicit technical solutions. Conceptually, this will provide a future-proof approach and should not require frequent and multiple revisions as new technologies become available.
