Background

Status: Approved
Date Posted: Mar 9, 2011
Sponsor: Luminant Energy
Urgent: No
Sections: 7.1.2
Description: This Nodal Operating Guide Revision Request (NOGRR) deletes the requirement to terminate the Wide Area Network (WAN) connection at the Market Participant’s control center.
Reason: The requirement to terminate the WAN at the Market Participant’s control center was not specified in the zonal Operating Guide; it is unclear why it was added to the Nodal Operating Guide. For some Market Participants, terminating at the control center would potentially be less secure and less reliable if the control center is remote from the control system servers, applications, and data warehouse in the primary and backup data centers.
