Integrated System Planning and Reliability

The electric industry today is facing unique and unprecedented challenges. A changing generation mix, more frequent “100-year” storms, and tremendous load growth are all changing the way utilities need to plan the electric system.

Thank you, Stephen. Appreciate the response.

For those of us in the older generation, integrated planning that coordinated generation and transmission expansion was the norm. Deregulation and the formation of ISO/RTOs in the 90s altered all that. Most utilities deffer that type of planning to their respective regional organization and by state mandate, are precluded from owning genetation assets. Throw in capacity markets and...

Thank you, Mike. This is a great question! ISP would benefit from aligning disparate data sources, but it does not require a single data management system across transmission, substation, and distribution planning and operations.

How to create a Design Basis Threat for physical security

What does a simple Design Basis Threat process look like for physical security assesments?

Great question and thanks for commenting. This could be its own topic and I will try and answer your questions the best I can speaking generally.

What constitutes an acceptable level of risk and who decides what that risk level is? That has a massive impact on the cost. This should not be a government decision as the bureaucrats are badly decoupled from the cost consequences of their actions. Some form of consensus industry code/standard (which includes government input) strikes me as fair and impartial. The matter should be kept...

Great point and thanks for your comment. Next steps after creating a plan are indeed extremely important. My aim in this post was to help security teams understand how to build a profile for the locations that really need better protections. Since upgrading every single station is not usually financially feasible, but there needs to be a priority list as a starting point.
