These practices, developed through experience and study, include consideration of detailed factors that a transmitting utility may not list in the criteria that it submits under Part 4. For example, a utility might have certain operating restrictions and limitations that must be met by appropriate modeling within a simulation study. Also, through experience and study, each transmitting utility may have developed a list of various contingencies it typically tests against in the application of its transmission planning reliability criteria. For example, before testing for the limits of transmission capability that could be used for firm power transfers on its system, a transmitting utility will assume, based on experience or realistic expectation, that certain facilities will be unavailable for some period of time. Each transmitting utility must identify these contingencies and submit them under this Part. A description of the Respondent’s practices when applying the transmission planning reliability criteria submitted in Part 4 must be submitted under this part. The description must include the substantive planning assessment practices that a Respondent follows in the normal course of business. The information filed should help requesters to perform planning or screening studies and to better understand the process of determining available transmission capacity and known constraints. In subsequent years, Respondents need only identify and file changed assessment practices. If the practices are unchanged from a previous filing, please provide the date of that filing. If this date is prior to the 2010 filing deadline, Respondents need only state that the previous filing was ‘‘prior to the 2010 filing.’’ F. Part 6: Evaluation of Transmission System Performance The transmitting utility must provide a narrative evaluation or assessment of the performance of its transmission system in future time periods based on the application of its reliability criteria. It must provide a clear understanding of existing and likely future transmission constraints, their sources, how it identified these constraints, and a description of any plans to mitigate the constraints. The evaluation must provide a clear understanding of the existing and expected system performance of the Respondent’s transmission system. The evaluation should include a description of all existing transmission stability limits that the transmitting utility has uncovered through dynamic system simulation studies. If, in their studies, Respondents identify stability as a regional transmission limiting factor, Respondents must, on request, provide the results of their studies. The required evaluation is to be drawn from existing utility transmission planning studies and the experience and judgment of the Respondents’ transmission system planners. Respondents may base the required evaluation, in part, on recently performed VerDate Nov<24>2008 18:28 Dec 01, 2009 Jkt 220001 operating studies that determine transfer capabilities for the upcoming peak load season.
