DescSERC PROVIDES STATUTORY FUNCTIONS THAT SUPPORT THE ELECTRIC RELIABILITY ORGANIZATION (ERO), IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS DELEGATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN SERC AND NERC. SERC PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: ANALYZE EVENTS TO IDENTIFY LESSONS LEARNED THAT WILL IMPROVE RELIABILITY; PROMOTE BPS RELIABILITY, ADEQUACY, AND SECURITY; HELP DEVELOP RELIABILITY STANDARDS FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN BPS AND THE SERC REGION; MONITOR AND ENFORCE APPROVED MANDATORY RELIABILITY STANDARDS; REGISTER AND CERTIFY RESPONSIBLE ENTITIES UNDER THE RELIABILITY COMPLIANCE PROGRAM; ASSESS THE BPS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE RISK PROFILE IN ORDER TO ASSURE RELIABILITY, ADEQUACY, AND SECURITY; AND TRAIN OPERATING PERSONNEL TO ASSURE COMPETENCE.SERC ONLY PERFORMS FUNCTIONS CALLED FOR IN SECTION 215 OF THE FEDERAL POWER ACT THAT HAVE BEEN DELEGATED FROM NERC TO SERC.THE COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (CMEP) IS THE LARGEST PROGRAM AREA AT SERC. THE CMEP IS IMPLEMENTED BY PERSONNEL THAT ARE INDEPENDENT OF STAKEHOLDERS AND REGISTERED ENTITIES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJECTIVE, SERC'S COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM AREA IS FURTHER DIVIDED INTO FIVE AREAS: COMPLIANCE MONITORING; COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES; ENTITY ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION; ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION AND CERTIFICATION; AND ENFORCEMENT.SERC'S COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT STAFFS IMPLEMENT THE COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMPURSUANT TO THE DELEGATION AGREEMENT AND UNIFORM COMPLIANCE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (CMEP). THE COMPLIANCE PORTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF FOUR PRIMARY FUNCTIONAL AREAS: MONITORING AREA, RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTINGCOMPLIANCE AUDITS, SPOT CHECKS, AND INVESTIGATIONS, AND SERVING AS SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS FOR ALL STANDARDS AND FOR IMPLEMENTING THE PROCESS FOR TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY EXCEPTIONS TO THE CIP STANDARDS; COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AREA, RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING AND DEPLOYING CMEP-RELATED ANALYTICS, AND COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENTS; ENTITY ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION AREA, RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING AND DEPLOYING ENTITY INHERENT RISK ASSESSMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL EVALUATIONS, SERVING AS THE SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR ALLNON-COMPLIANCE ISSUES DISCOVERED AND/OR SELF-REPORTED TO THE REGION, DETERMINING THE COMPLETE SCOPE OF THE VIOLATION, AND THE ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL RISK TO THE BPS RELIABILITY, AND REVIEWING THE REGISTERED ENTITY'S MITIGATING ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE THAT THE ENTITY CORRECTS THEISSUE AND PREVENTS RECURRENCE; AND ORGANIZATION REGISTRATION AND CERTIFICATION AREA, RESPONSIBLE FOR REGISTERING OWNERS, OPERATORS, AND USERS OF THE BULK POWER SYSTEM FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RELIABILITY STANDARDS AND CERTIFYING APPLICABLE ENTITIES.THE ENFORCEMENT PORTION OF THE CMEP IS PERFORMED BY SERC ENFORCEMENT STAFF, WHO EVALUATE ALL POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS OF RELIABILITY STANDARDS AND CONDUCT A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A VIOLATION. THE ENFORCEMENT STAFF NOTIFIES THE REGISTERED ENTITY OF ITS FINDINGS REGARDING THE VIOLATION AND ANY APPLICABLE PENALTIES OR SANCTIONS. THE ENFORCEMENT STAFF MAY ALSO ENGAGE IN SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE REGISTERED ENTITY. THE PROPOSED ENFORCEMENTACTION, ALONG WITH ANY PROPOSED PENALTY OR SANCTIONS, IS SUBMITTED TO NERC FOR ITS REVIEW AND APPROVAL, AND SUBSEQUENT SUBMITTAL TO FERC. IF A REGISTERED ENTITY CHALLENGES THE FINDINGS OF THE VIOLATION AND/OR PENALTY, THE ENFORCEMENT STAFF PROSECUTES THE CASE BEFORE THE BOARD COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE, WHICH ACTS AS SERC'S HEARING BODY. SERC HAS ORGANIZED THE REMAINING TECHNICAL STAFF INTO A RELIABILITY SERVICES GROUP AND A RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT GROUP TO ADDRESS THE OTHER STATUTORY FUNCTIONS LISTED ABOVE. THESE EXPERTS IN OPERATIONS, ENGINEERING, AND ANALYSIS ASSIST REGISTERED ENTITIES IN ASSESSING AND IMPROVING RELIABILITY. IT IS IN SUPPORT OF THESE AREAS THAT SERC ENGAGES THE MAJORITY OF INDUSTRY EXPERTS ON ITS TECHNICAL COMMITTEES.Desc

DescThe second largest program is Reliability Assessments and Performance Analysis. SERC's Reliability Assessments and Performance Analysis (RAPA) program provides analysis, data gathering, and analysis of events on the BpS. The RAPA function identifies reliability risks to the BpS in the SERC footprint for the purpose of integrated risk analysis. RAPA's mission is to promote a culture of reliability excellence among the owners of BpS assets. The program accomplishes this mission by identifying risks to reliability, analyzing performance and prioritizing significant risks. SERC conducts an independent reliability assessment of the BpS within the SERC Region, including data gathering and analysis. The assessment program uses information from its internal data collection sources along with other programs, such as NERC Transmission Availability Data System (TADS), Generating Availability Data Systems (GADS), and Demand Response Availability Data System (DADS). SERC evaluates the overall reliability, performance, and adequacy of the SERC Region and reports its results to NERC. SERC's work supports NERC's obligation to perform similar analysis of the interconnected North American BPS.Desc
