Are you compliant with NERC regulatory requirements?
The North American Electrical Reliability Corporation (NERC) continues to expand its standards, striving to increase power grid reliability and resilience to system disturbances. History-making blackouts, unexpected equipment failures, power disturbances, and the growing cyber threat are all factors leading to regular releases of new and updated standards.
With each new or updated standard NERC specifies a set of requirements and rolling compliance deadlines making it a challenge to maintain compliance. Maintenance engineers and compliance managers must be current on the latest updates, have a detailed understanding of each standard’s requirements, and also have the expertise to know how to apply the standards to their electrical system.
Service Solutions
NERC Engineering Evaluation and Compliance Assessment
Achieving compliance with NERC requirements takes knowledge of the complex and ever-changing regulations. Start with our initial compliance assessment. Evaluation of your infrastructure involves on-site data collection and analysis by our highly-trained and experienced engineers. They will perform computer modeling and analysis of your electrical system and will provide you with a detailed report with recommendations and possible corrective actions required for achieving NERC compliance.
Relay Settings, Logic & Programming
ERS' protection and control engineers can help determine the best configurable relay settings and logic to provide maximum system protection, advanced functionality, and compliance with NERC requirements. Our engineers will take time to fully understand and define your system's requirements, such as how the protection system should respond in the event of a fault, how protective relays should communicate with other systems, and what functions, in addition to protection, the relays should perform.
