Abstract

A brief summary of the NERC Classification and Standards, NERC standards for Digital Fault Recorders and requirements for Automated Fault reporting are presented. This paper describes a method for meeting these requirements. A common architecture is proposed to implement an automated data collection tool utilizing the existing infrastructure. Two data transfer tools are described & compared. In addition to meeting NERC requirements for Disturbance Monitoring Equipment, the benefits of implementing an enterprise-wide Network Based Fault Data Collection and Analysis system are discussed.
