Description: | This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) changes the five day (40 hours) emergency training requirements to 32 hours for QSEs who represent Generation or Load Resources and eight hours for Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE) operators who do not represent Generation or Load Resources. |
Reason: | The existing five days of emergency training that is in the Nodal Operating Guides is reasonable for Transmission Operators (TOs), Control Area authorities and QSEs that operate the generation they represent. However, this requirement is excessive and unnecessary for QSEs that do not operate the Generation Resource(s) they schedule. The role of these QSEs is generally limited to acting as a conduit for emergency information between the QSE and the generator. This role is important, but 40 hours of annual training is simply not needed for the QSEs to ensure they are capable of meeting their emergency-related responsibilities. Thus reducing the emergency training to one day (eight hours) per year for QSEs that do not operate the generation they schedule is more appropriate and consistent with the need to have operators that are properly trained. |
