ERCOT requests that Resource Entities and TSPs provide a list of pote= ntial equipment removed from service as a result of Protection System opera= tion or Misoperation due to harmonics that could result from the benchmark = GMD event as described in =93Table 1: Steady State Planning GMD Event=94 of= North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Reliability Standar= d TPL-007-1, Transmission System Planned Performance for Geomagnetic Distur= bance Events (GMD event contingencies). ACTION REQUIRED: Resource Entities and TSPs are required to assess the i= mpact of the benchmark GMD event on their equipment to develop the list of = potential equipment removed from service during the benchmark GMD event. S= end all responses via e-mail to [log in to unmask]<mailto:ClientServi= [log in to unmask]> with =93Benchmark GMD Event=94 in the subject line by March = 31, 2019. Additionally, Resource Entities and TSPs with no potential equip= ment that may trip offline due to harmonics during the benchmark GMD event = should so state in their email submission. If a reply to ERCOT=92s origina= l request has been made applying the additional information in this request= , no further action is required. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: On January 22, 2019, ERCOT partially implemented P= lanning Guide language associated with Planning Guide Revision Request (PGR= R) 057, Responsibilities for Performing GMD Vulnerability Assessments. Spec= ifically, paragraph (2) of Section 6.11, Process for Developing Geomagnetic= ally-Induced Current (GIC) System Models, was unboxed. Remaining portions = of PGRR057 will be implemented at a later date. PGRR057 aligns the Plannin= g Guides with NERC Reliability Standard TPL-007-1, Transmission System Plan= ned Performance for Geomagnetic Disturbance Events, by identifying responsi= bilities for performing studies needed to complete GMD vulnerability assess= ments. In addition to Resource Entities and TSPs, this Notice is also issued to co= mpliance contacts for all Generator Owners and Transmission Owners register= ed with NERC.
