Draft Minutes of the Protective Relay Subgroup (PRS) Meeting MRO Offices, St. Paul, MN
February 25-26, 2020
1. Call to Order and IntroductionsCommittee Chair Greg Hill called the meeting to order 1:00 p.m. and introductions were made. Heextended a welcome to meeting attendees.
Determination of Quorum, Standards of Conduct, and Anti-Trust GuidelinesIt was determined that a quorum was present. A complete list of attendees is included as Exhibit A.Pursuant to Policy and Procedure 4, MRO’s Standards of Conduct, Conflict of Interest and Anti-TrustGuidelines were presented.
2. Consent AgendaThe PRS reviewed the minutes from the November 19-20, 2019 meeting. A date correction was notedregarding future PRS meetings.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the PRS unanimously approved the minutes from theNovember 19-20, 2019, with corrections noted.
The PRS reviewed the meeting agenda. The following change was made to the agenda:• Agenda Item 7c.ii. was added to include the Sherburne County Event, presented by John
Grimm of Northern States Power (Xcel Energy).
There was a motion to approve the agenda as modified and the agenda was approved by the PRS.
3. Chair’s ReportGreg Hill indicated that there will be a vote for new Chair and Vice Chair of the PRS later in themeeting. Greg has held the chair position for a little over two years. Appreciation was extended toGreg for his participation and willingness to chair the group.
4. Secretary’s ReportMike Bocovich proposed the PRS look at a full day meeting as opposed to two half-day meetings. Twohalf-day meetings may be more convenient for members within the old MRO footprint due to theircloser proximity to the MRO office. One full day meeting can be more convenient for the newermembers whose locations are further south and may require multiple flights. The idea was wellreceived, and the PRS meetings will alternate between two half days and one full day in the future.
5. PRS Businessa. Nominees for the PRS Chair and Vice Chair were revealed. An opportunity was provided to add
names to the ballot. John Grimm was the only nominee for Chair. Nominees for Vice Chair wereprovided an opportunity to present their qualifications for the positon. A vote within PRS memberswas held. John Grimm of Northern States Power was elected Chair and Robert Soper of WesternArea Power Administration was elected Vice Chair. The positions were assumed. John Grimm
Page 2
and Robert Soper will be Acting Chair and Vice Chair Elect (respectively) until final approval by the MRO Organizational Group Oversight Committee.
b. It was noted the MRO Board of Directors approved the 2020 PRS members January 6, 2020. c. John Seidel presented results of a PRS member survey of SF6 breaker critical low gas philosophy.
Breakers that went into critical low gas state during the January 29-30, 2019 cold weather event were also discussed. A white paper development will be led by John Seidel, volunteers of the PRS include John Grimm, Cody Remboldt, Derek Vonada, and Robert Soper. The desire is to complete the white paper by August 2020. A tentative webex meeting is scheduled for March 18, 2020 from 9:00 – 12:00. A notice will be sent to the PRS subgroup members.
6. NERC Activities a. Mark Gutzmann gave a brief report on recent activities of the NERC System Protection and
Controls Subcommittee (SPCS) including work regarding: • PRC-019 SAR associated with inverter based resources • PRC-019 Implementation Guidance Document • The NERC definition of Protection System is being evaluated regarding multi-function
(protection and control) packages. • PRC-023 SAR regarding out of step blocking elements, looking for clarity or to remove
some requirements • A lesson learned is being developed related to a specific event associated with protection
system commission testing. • Impacts of inverter based resources is the main topic of discussion.
b. Mike Bocovich discussed activities of the MIDAS working group and other related matters. • The MIDAS data reporting instruction (DRI) was approved and published. • A new MIDASWG Chair and Vice Chair were selected. • Corrections and additions for the 2021 version of the DRI were discussed. • MIDAS training to be developed by the MIDASWG was discussed. • The procedure to make changes to the Section 1600 data request was presented by Jack
Norris of NERC. • The next MIDASWG meeting is tentatively scheduled for the week of July 13, MRO is a
likely location. It was mentioned the meetings are open, members of local Entities may want to attend the meeting to learn and participate.
• TADS and GADS reportable events reporting was questioned in the PRS meeting. The reporting of TADS and GADS Elements had been inconsistent and was not providing the desired link to the other databases. It is hoped the DRI will correct inconsistencies and allow a good link between MIDAS and TADS/GADS.
7. Misoperations a. 2019 Q3 Results and Trending: The MIDAS reported misoperations were reviewed with assistance
of the ERO Enterprise MIDAS portal tool charts with drilldown capabilities. Investigations included 2018 and 2019 inputs to date. Investigations included looking at system schemes, causes, sub causes, equipment type, relay technology, relay manufacturer, and restoration methods. It was highlighted that 2019 relay misoperations were down from 2018, but high impact misoperations were up.
Page 3
b. A proposal to Minnesota Power System Conference (MiPSyCon) was submitted with Mike Bocovich and John Grimm as co-presenters, John Grimm was approached as the likely future Chair of the PRS. The prospectus and presentation brief was offered to the PRS. The MiPSyCon committee should select presentations in March. Discussions included possible presentation in the southern area at the Texas A&M Relay Conference or the Georgia Tech Relay Conference.
c. Misoperation Discussions associate with Event Analysis reports: • Ryan Godwin of American Electric Power provided a good presentation of an August 2019
SWEPCO Area Event. Multiple transmission lines (<200kV) were outaged during this event, area voltage was suppressed to about .59PU, and three relay misoperations were investigated. Following discussions included: vegetation control and relay operations during extreme conditions. The presentation and discussions were appreciated by the PRS.
• John Grimm of Northern States Power provided a good presentation of a recent Sherburne County substation event. A breaker experienced an internal failure and the event progressed to a complete outage of all 345kV feeds from the substation. A relay misoperation occurred which was compounded by a PT paralleling scheme in an abnormal condition. Discussions revolved around a PT paralleling scheme, and instantaneous overcurrent performance within differential relays during CT saturation. The presentation and discussions were appreciated by the PRS.
d. Survey of Protection System Scheme Type purpose statement was presented to the PRS. After some debate, there is still interest in an assessment of the population of communications assisted high speed protection schemes within the MRO footprint. Mike Bocovich agreed to draft a survey to present to PRS members. Volunteers who agreed to work on this at an earlier meeting are Greg Hill, Dennis Lu, John Grimm, Wayne Miller, and Forrest Brock.
e. Lessons Learned: Two lessons learned are proposed from the MRO PRS: • 86 Lockout Relay Failures progress was presented by Gary Stoedter. Gary had contacted
the manufacturer of the lockout relay, but the manufacture has not provided a response. The lessons learned was originally drafted to be somewhat generic, it may need to remain generic. Other Entities represented in the PRS had experienced the same problem. It was mentioned this problem has been discussed at NATF. Gary committed to have a lessons learned ready at the next PRS meeting (May).
• Directional Comparison Blocking Misoperations Associated with Mixing Relay Technologies lessons learned was presented by Wayne Miller. The lessons learned is in good condition and will be sent to PRS members for review, review comments should be returned to MRO within two weeks. Review comments will be incorporated into the lessons learned and submitted to NERC.
8. Event Analysis Report David Kuyper provided a report on the status of Event Analysis within the MRO Region. The 2018 backlog of event cause coding is almost complete. Progress is being made on 2019 events. There have been two 1a events and two 1h events reported in 2020 as of Feb 25, 2020.
Page 4
9. Update on SPS Review Team Activities David Kuyper provided a report on upcoming RAS reviews. Saskatchewan Power Corporation has assumed responsibilities for RAS review within their area. One upcoming RAS review is in queue for the MRO SPS working group. A new RAS by Southwest Public Service will be handled by SPP.
10. Other Business a. PRC-002-2 SMET Standard Application Guide (SAG) Team Update: The SMET SAG team
completed a standard application guide providing clarification or fault recorder trigger setting requirements. The SAG will be forwarded to the PRS for review. Review comments are expected back within one month.
b. PRS roundtable discussions included: • Wayne Miller lead a dialogue regarding testing of microprocessor based relays through
elements or timers. It was discussed that element testing is not required to meet PRC-005 requirements. Minimum testing requirements are to test inputs and outputs for proper operation of the relay. It is up to each company to determine what testing above and beyond minimum requirements they feel comfortable with.
• Robert Soper initiated a dialogue revolving around TPL-001-5 footnote 13: non-redundant components of a protection system to consider.
c. The next PRS meeting is scheduled for May 19, 2020, 7:30-3:00, with ½ hour lunch. The following PRS meeting is tentatively scheduled for August 11-12. The group will determine two ½ days or one full day during the May 19 meeting.
11. Adjourn Having no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 11:54 a.m.
