Texas Reliability Entity Facilitator: Reliability Standards Manager

The SAR-003 Standard Drafting Team (SDT), reporting to the Reliability Standards Committee (RSC), is a group of technical experts responsible for developing a proposed standard based upon the approved Standard Authorization Request (SAR) – FERC-Ordered Modification to ERCOT Waiver to R2 of BAL-001-0 CPS2. The SDT was assigned by the ERCOT Reliability and Operations Subcommittee (ROS) and was approved by the RSC.

The SDT is responsible for addressing the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-directed modification to the ERCOT regional difference to Requirement 2 in Reliability Standard BAL-001-0, Real Power Balancing Control Performance. The detail of the determination is found in FERC Order No. 693, paragraphs 313 through 315.

Collectively, the SDT has the necessary technical expertise and work process skills pertaining to the particular SAR subject. The SDT reviews stakeholders’ comments and considers modifications to the draft standards. It includes a member of the Texas Reliability Entity, Inc. staff and the SAR’s originator in addition to the field subject matter experts assigned by ROS. All SDT meetings are open to all interested participants.
