A program that ties every test date, technician, component, and result together.
Trusted analysis and design platforms, applied by engineers who understand the system behind the model.
Protection system maintenance program development, asset population verification, interval tracking, and RSAW support for Transmission Owners, Generator Owners, and Distribution Providers.
One-lines, relay databases, and maintenance records reconciled against the registered protection system scope.
Each component mapped to its maintenance interval and due-date logic.
Test records, settings, and maintenance evidence checked for completeness and traceability.
Missed intervals, unresolved maintenance issues, and exclusion logic documented and corrected.
Narrative support and audit-response package assembled for review.
The Protection System comprises protective relays, communications systems necessary for correct operation, voltage and current sensing devices, station DC power supply, and the associated control circuitry.
Cybersecurity and EMS systems — firmware, SCADA RTUs — fall under the CIP standards, not PRC-005.
Auditors cross-check the PRC-005 asset list against one-line diagrams and relay setting databases.
Time-based is the default. Performance-based intervals under Attachment A let you extend intervals based on demonstrated fleet performance, but require a defined population segment, a minimum sample size, and ongoing statistical analysis.
Self-report. A self-reported violation with a corrective action plan is treated very differently from one an auditor finds.
Yes, if you register as a Generator Owner and your protection system can trip a BES element.
