1:00 PM – 3:00 PM Making NERC Compliance Work for You

Gowri Rajappan, Ph.D. Doble Engineering Company

NERC Reliability and CIP compliance standards have been a key driver in the electric power

industry for the past several years. With the ramp up in grid modernization and cyber threats,

this is expected to continue. All too often, organizations address compliance as a distinct and

separate aspect of business. This is contrary to the spirit of the NERC standards, which strive to

improve grid reliability and security by putting forth minimum requirements to real business

problems. The NERC evidence is the proof that the organizational capability is at a point where

the necessary minimum reliability and security are being delivered. But compliance too often

becomes a paper exercise of how to show evidence for specific requirements, rather than trying

to address the underlying business problems.

In this presentation, we describe an approach of understanding and addressing the business

problems, and compliance naturally flowing from that. Taking a big picture view of the business

problems can lead to solutions that work together to improve work efficiency and effectiveness,

while addressing multiple compliance requirements. We describe one particular use case,

namely field operations. By designing the right system and workflow, it is possible to improve

reliability operations such as protection testing, improve security operations such as patching

and configuration monitoring, and meet multiple compliance requirements, such as PRC-005,

CIP-007, and CIP-010.

Dr. Gowri Rajappan is Director of Technology and Cybersecurity at Doble Engineering Company. He is an expert in cyber security and enterprise data technologies. He leads the cyber security activities at Doble, where he works closely with electric power utilities worldwide to help design and improve their cybersecurity operations. He is a key contributor to several International cybersecurity standards and best practice guidelines, including those developed

by IEC, IEEE and CIGRE. Prior to Doble, he worked on cyber security and data technologies in support of the US Department of Defense. Dr. Rajappan has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University.

F6150 test set and Protection Suite software. You will learn where to find the SEL information

needed to make the test. The simulation of high impedance phase to ground requires the

download of a COMTRADE file from SEL web’s page, that should be played during the test and

contains the harmonic records of “real life high impedance faults” that the technician must use.

The presentation will demonstrate with detail, all the steps that the relay tech should follow in

order to test the three different algorithms that make part of the whole Arc Sense Technology

scheme. Also, the web presentation shows the results of the test and the qualification from the

Protection Suite (successful/not successful) report.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Protection Suite Testing from a PowerBase Database

Jose Ruiz


This session will illustrate how to use the new Protection Suite PowerBase Direct option to interact

with a PowerBase database. In this presentation, a typical use case will be presented, where a

Protection Suite file will be downloaded from a PowerBase database; then opened with Protection

Suite for testing; and finally test results uploaded back to the PowerBase database that the file

was downloaded from.

José Ruiz received his M.S. degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2012. During his graduate study, he learned and tested IEC 61850 with different vendor relays. In 2011, he joined ABB Inc. as a post graduate student and worked as a Protection Application Engineer. At ABB Inc., he shared his expertise with customers in the power industry through trainings, projects, and providing technical support. He became later the Lead Engineering Customer

Support. Mr. Ruiz joined Doble Engineering Company in 2016 as a Technical Application Engineer, where he continues to support customers on their relay testing needs through training, technical support and testing of improved testing tools. He is a member of the IEEE PES.

RTS 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Practical Applications of RTS

Steven Stade


Beyond standardized training and typical operation of the RTS application, this presentation

focuses on many of the built-in tools that RTS has to offer. This is beneficial to all users of the RTS

application, whether user or management level, regardless of the degree of experience. The intent

of the options will be discussed and then shown in operation. You should expect to find useful

procedures that you were not previously aware of or gain a new perspective of the value.

Steven Stade manages the ENOSERV RTS® software product. He is responsible for planning, designing and implementing product requirements. He oversees and assists operations of the RTS Support Team and is utilized as the RTS software product expert. Mr. Stade has almost 20 years as an ENOSERV/Doble employee. Previously, he gained 15 years of Relay Protection and Control experience through employment by West Texas Utilities and Public Service of Oklahoma.
