Example 1 Source BA and Sink BA1 The net energy flows from the radial Source BA and sinks in BA1 at the receiving end of that radial tie. BA1 is responsible to recover for the entire loss as if the source was a generator inside the BA 1 fo...

AI summary The document describes the handling of energy flows and responsibilities in the event of a contingency loss in a radial tie between Source BA and Sink BA1. BA1 is responsible for recovering losses as if the source were within its footprint and may request SAR if conditions are stressed or losses exceed NPCC thresholds.

Example 3 Source BA, intermediary sink BA1, and sink BA2 The energy is flowing from the radial Source BA with portions sinking in BA1, and BA 2. This example applies to SAR participants. BA1 and BA2 are responsible to recover the portions...

AI summary Energy flows from a Source BA to BA1 and BA2, with responsibilities for recovering lost MW. In case of a contingency loss exceeding the NPCC reportable event threshold, BA1 must notify the SAR Coordinator for SAR activation. Communication protocols are outlined between Balancing Authorities.

4.3 Notifications When a Balancing Authority becomes deficient in thirty-minute reserve and the Balancing Authority cannot restore these reserves using the actions specified in section 4.1 of this Appendix, the following actions are requir...

AI summary This section outlines the procedures for notifying and coordinating actions when a Balancing Authority is deficient in thirty-minute reserve and cannot restore it using specified actions. Notifications are sent to the Reliability Coordinator, who may then initiate emergency preparedness conference calls with other reliability coordinators.

1.2 Notification of Contingency A participating Balancing Authority that experiences a contingency and wishes to receive SAR assistance shall report the following information to the SAR Coordinator via the direct telephone lines: - Estimat...

AI summary This section outlines the procedure for notifying a contingency and requesting SAR (Simultaneous Activation of Ten-Minute Reserve) assistance. A Balancing Authority experiencing a contingency must report specific details to the SAR Coordinator, including the estimated time of the event, resources affected, megawatts lost, and the cause of the contingency. The contingent Balancing Authority must request assistance in a timely manner to allow for the distribution of shares and implementation of schedule changes within five minutes of the contingency.

4.3 Notifications When a Balancing Authority becomes deficient in thirty-minute reserve and the Balancing Authority cannot restore these reserves using the actions specified in section 4.1 of this Appendix, the following actions are requir...

AI summary When a Balancing Authority lacks thirty-minute reserve capacity and cannot restore it through specified actions, it must notify its Reliability Coordinator, who then informs other NPCC Areas and may initiate an emergency conference call with other reliability coordinators if needed. This process repeats as operating reserve status changes.
