Specifically, OER staff is seeking: (1) Develop a process to distinguish those facilities that should not be considered part of the BulkPower System from those facilities that should be considered part of the BulkPower System; (2) identify the elements needed to operate each of the electric interconnections; and (3) rank the importance of those elements. This project may lead to a methodology that could be utilized in future proceedings to aid in refining the scope of what constitutes the Bulk-Power System subject to section 215 of the Federal Power Act. The University of WisconsinMadison, in conjunction with OER staff, has developed and tested a mathematically-based model intended to reflect the physics of the Bulk-Power System. Dr. B. Lesieutre, Dr. C. DeMarco and Mr. D. Schwarting, faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will give the presentation. The TIER report will be made available on the FERC Web calendar page for this event and on eLibrary when it is released. The Commission will accept comments on this report within 30 days after it is posted on the FERC Web site.
