Power System Events and the NERC System Protection and
Control Subcommittee

About the Topic
The NERC System Protection and Control Task Force (SPCTF) was formed
shortly after the August 14, 2003 Northeast Blackout to address
blackout recommendation 8a on relay loadability. SPCTF work expanded
as other blackout recommendations were addressed and other issues
arose. As the work continued, the SPCTF became a full time NERC
Subcommittee (SPCS). The work performed by the SPCTF and SPCS to
support Protection and Control (PRC) standards and address protection
issues has in many cases been driven by events. This presentation
will provide a history of the most critical work of the SPCS, as well
as some discussion of aspects of the events that spurred the work.
About the Speaker
Bill Miller graduated with a BSEE in power engineering from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 and has been working
at ComEd (Exelon) for the almost 29 years since. Bill started working
for ComEd in the testing department and worked testing protection and
control systems in transmission and distribution substations and Fossil
and Nuclear plants for about 11 years. He then spent a few years as a
project engineer working on protection related projects and a few years
as a relay settings engineer at ComEd. He spent about 10 years as the
lead relay settings engineer at ComEd and is currently a Principal
Engineer in the Real Time Analysis department analyzing system events.
Bill joined the NERC System Protection and Control Task Force after it
was formed following the August 14, 2003 blackout and is currently the
Chairman of the NERC System Protection and Control Subcommittee. Bill
is a member of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.
