ReliabilityFirst (RF) offers a regularly scheduled monthly call to provide entities and stakeholders with a forum for addressing topics and questions relevant to reliability, resilience and security. These calls are typically held on the third Monday of each month from 2 to 3:30 p.m. EST. While RF Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will provide presentations and updates, they will not address entity-specific questions and issues. These types of questions can be handled offline by using the RF <a href="/ProgramAreas/EntityEngage/AssistVisits/Pages/AssistVisits.aspx">Assist Visit Program</a>. If you have any questions, please reach out to Michelle Cross, External Affairs Manager, via <a href="mailto:%20michelle.cross@rfirst.org">email</a> or 216-503-0603.

The use of SOLs is a foundational construct in the NERC Reliability Standards, supporting the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System (BES) by setting parameters within which the BES should be operated to provide for reliable pre- and post-contingency system performance. Standards Project 2015-09 resulted in FERC approval of a revised definition for SOL, a new defined term System Voltage Limit, major revisions to FAC-011 and FAC-014, retirement of FAC-010-3, and associated revisions to six other Reliability Standards – all effective April 1, 2024. </li><li>The discussion around the use of SOLs in Operations Planning and Real-time Operations is especially relevant for System Operations and Operations Support personnel at Transmission Operators and Reliability Coordinators. Transmission Planning personnel at Transmission Planners and Planning Coordinators will also be impacted by the retirement of FAC-010-3 and associated revisions to other standards. Generator Owners and Transmission Owners may be impacted by changes to applicable Facilities in FAC-003, PRC-002, PRC-023, and PRC-026.</li></ul>Operational Analysis and Awareness (OAA) UpdateTony Purgar, Senior Manager, OAA, RFKellen Phillips, Principal Analyst, OAA, RFDwayne Fewless, Principal Analyst, OAA, RF<ul><li>This discussion will highlight the OAA group and its core responsibilities including an overview of the Event Analysis Process (i.e., reporting requirements, cause coding, trends); explanation on “what is an inquiry"; and a look into our Situational Awareness / Threat Intelligence activities and tools. </li><li>This discussion is intended for entities with functional responsibilities of the Balancing Authority, Distribution Provider, Generation Owner, Generation Operator, Reliability Coordinator, Transmission Owner and Transmission Operator. It's relevant to bulk power system operations personnel that deal with system disturbances, situational awareness, and threat intelligence monitoring from the cyber, physical and operational perspectives. </li></ul>
