In the order, FERC directed NERC to develop certain modifications to the Standard, or to develop other new or revised Standards. The revisions include: • Modify the benchmark GMD event definition used for GMD Vulnerability Assessments; • Make related modifications to requirements pertaining to transformer thermal impact assessments; • Require collection of GMD-related data. NERC is directed to make data available; and • Require deadlines for Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) and GMD mitigating actions. FERC established a deadline of 18 months from the effective date of Order No. 830 for completing the revisions, which is May 2018. This webinar will present revisions made by the standard drafting team. The standard is posted for industry comment through August 11, 2017. There are also a number of supporting documents posted with the standard on the project page<http://www.nerc.com/pa/Stand/Pages/Project-2013-03-Geomagnetic-Disturbance-Mitigation.aspx>.
