Other items.

Some questions for OWG and TRE to consider as we implement PER-005 here in ERCOT are:

Do all System Operators operating in ERCOT (the TRE Region) have authority or control over Facilities with or affecting IROLs?

What is the subset of System Operators in ERCOT that this requirement applies to?

What applications or forms of "technology that replicates the operational behavior of the BES during normal and emergency conditions" would be considered acceptable simulation technology by TRE and NERC?
