Unofficial Comment Form for 3rd Draft of PRC-005-2: Protection System Maintenance Project 2007-17 Please DO NOT use this form to submit comments on the 3rd draft of the standard for Protection System Maintenance. Please submit comments using the . Comments must be submitted by June 27, 2012. If you have questions please contact at or by telephone at 803-530-1963. Background Information: The standard recently passed ballot with a quorum of 84.32% and weighted segment approval of 73.93%; for the VRF/VSL Non-binding poll the quorum was 80.72% with 64.88% casting a supporting opinion. The drafting team appreciates the affirmative votes and the constructive feedback provided by the commenters. The team modified the standard based on stakeholder comments and has posted the standard, implementation plan, and other supporting documents for a parallel 30-day formal comment period and 10-day successive ballot through June 27, 2012. The Protection System Maintenance and Testing Standard Drafting Team (PSMT SDT) made several changes to PRC-005-2, including the associated definitions, based on comments received from industry. The changes include: Definition of Protection System Maintenance Program (PSMP): Revised the “Inspect” element of the definition to “Examine for signs of component failure, reduced performance or degradation.” Definition of Unresolved Maintenance Issues: Revised the definition for additional clarity. The definition now reads: “A deficiency identified during a maintenance activity that causes the component to not meet the intended performance, cannot be corrected during the maintenance interval, and requires follow-up corrective action.” Definition of Countable Event: Revised the definition to “A failure of a Component requiring repair or replacement, any condition discovered during the maintenance activities in Tables 1-1 through 1-5 and Table 3 which requires corrective action or a Misoperation attributed to hardware failure or calibration failure. Misoperations due to product design errors, software errors, relay settings different from specified settings, Protection System Component configuration errors, or Protection System application errors are not included in Countable Events.”
Questions Generator Operator: Do you agree that the proposed PER-006-1 – Specific Training for Personnel appropriately replaces the responsibilities of the Generator Operator in PRC-001-1.1(ii) – System Protection Coordination, Requirement R1 (i.e., “…be familiar with the purpose and limitations of Protection Systems schemes…”)? If not, please explain and provide suggestions to improve the PER-006-1 requirement. Yes No Comments: Transmission Operator: The reliability objective of PRC-001-1.1(ii), Requirement R1 for the Transmission Operator (i.e., “…be familiar with the purpose and limitations of Protection Systems schemes…”), that is not already covered by the Personnel Performance, Training, and Qualifications (PER) Reliability Standards, is addressed by inserting the phrase “functions, and limits” into the proposed modified definitions of OPA and RTA. The Transmission Operator, by integrating the “functions and limits” of Protection Systems and Remedial Action Schemes into its OPA and RTA, will ensure that the Bulk Electric System is operated within System Operating Limits (SOL) and Interconnection System Operating Limits (IROL). Do you agree that the proposed modification of these terms as defined by the Glossary of Terms Used in NERC Reliability Standards achieves this reliability objective? If not, please explain and provide suggestions. Yes No Comments: Reliability Coordinator: During the progression of Project 2007-06.2, it was determined that the Reliability Coordinator, a function that is not applicable to PRC-001-1.1(ii) should, similarly, “…be familiar with the purpose and limitations of Protection Systems schemes…” as found in Requirement R1 of the standard. The reliability objective for the Reliability Coordinator that is not already covered by the PER Reliability Standards, is being addressed by inserting the phrase “functions, and limits” into the proposed modified definitions of OPA and RTA. The Reliability Coordinator, by integrating the “functions and limits” of Protection Systems and Remedial Action Schemes into its OPA and RTA, will ensure that the Bulk Electric System is operated within SOL and IROL. Do you agree that the proposed modification of these terms as defined by the Glossary of Terms Used in NERC Reliability Standards achieves this reliability objective? If not, please explain and provide suggestions. Yes No Comments:

Attention: Your group represents the leadership of the city of _____________________. You are given access to information from the WHO, GOARN, and the Global Public Health Network concerning the rapid spread of the Awfulmusic Virus. As the virus continues to spread cities and government structures will crumble, and food/medicine supplies will dwindle. As of now, there is no cure available for the “Directioners” strain of the Awfulmusic Virus. Several safe zones have been established, however your nation is in chaos. You must flee your city with around thirty of your friends and family. Where will you go? How will you get there? Project Expectations: Create an escape or “bug out” plan for you and your family/friends. You must decide on where you will start your new life away from the virus. Where will you go? Will you go to one of the safe zones or create your own? Why? Be sure to consider the following items: What climate zone will you go to? Why have you chosen this type of climate? Is this location urban or rural? Why have you chosen this place? What cultural aspects exist in your new home? How did this figure into the decision making process? What resources exist in your new home? How will you find resources you need if they aren’t present in the new location? Be sure to include: (These items MUST be in color whether printed or created). Road map of your area. Climate map of your area. Population map of your area. Economic activity map of your area. Resource map of your area. How will you reach your chosen location? This should be a detailed plan! Include: The exact route you will take to escape/arrive. Back-up routes in case of emergencies. Why have you chosen these routes? What supplies will you and your neighbors carry? Be detailed! How will you find resources along the way?
Make a good investment. You need to make strong investments. If the group you back wins, your group will earn money. If the group you invest is the class winner, your investment will be doubled. If they lose, you lose. If they take second place, you will earn your money back, but it won’t grow. It will just be returned to you. How Much Money Will I Make? This is the trickiest section. The egg drops will be dropped from three different heights- Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. Use the chart below to figure out how much money each group will make in each circumstance. If… …the investors will recieve… …the Designers will keep… ...and also get… the egg does not survive Level 1 0% on their investment 0% of the money invested in them $0 in prize money. the egg survives to Level 1 100% of their investment returned. 50% of the money invested in them $500 in prize money the egg survives to Level 2 150% of their investment returned 75% of the money invested in them $750 in prize money the egg survives to Level 3 200% of their investment returned 100% of the money invested in them $1000 in prize money Class winner additional 3 points on their grade.
What is a Project Execution Plan? The Project Execution Plan is the ‘road map’ used by the Project Team to deliver the agreed project outputs. It outlines the responsibilities of the Project Team and key stakeholders. Why would you develop a Project Execution Plan? A Project Execution Plan is developed to expand on the Project Business Plan by specifying the day-to-day (operational) management procedures and control plans including: detailed project plans; resource schedules; quality procedures; reporting procedures; product purchasing and development plans; risk management planning; and project budgets. The document enables those completing the tasks/activities in the project to deliver the expected results, as per the agreed Project Business Plan. When would you develop a Project Execution Plan? Approval to proceed to develop a Project Execution Plan is usually obtained from the acceptance or approval of a preceding stage such as a Project Proposal or Project Business Plan. The Project Execution Plan expands the proposals developed in these documents in order to: document the day-to-day (operational) management and control activities to be undertaken by the Project Team; and gain acceptance by the Project Sponsor to the suitability of these activities. What you need before you start: Agreement to proceed with the development of the Project Execution Plan from the Project Sponsor. Knowledge and understanding of developing detailed project plans, quality plans, implementation and delivery plans, resource scheduling, risk management planning and financial planning. Knowledge and understanding of the Key Elements, as outlined in the Tasmanian Government Project Management Guidelines. Also Advisable: Any of the following documents - Strategic Information Systems Plan, Project Proposal, Process Review Report or Feasibility Study. Departmental Project Management Guidelines. Integration Process: Any endorsed documents (for example a Project Proposal, Project Business Case or Project Business Plan) should be utilised to populate the Project Execution Plan. This information, along with any gaps, then provides a basis for further discussion, clarification and confirmation of the project scope. It should be noted that development of the Project Execution Plan is not a static process, and that all aspects described in the Execution Plan must be re-examined many times over the life of the project, particularly where a great deal of change is involved. This iterative development should involve the Project Manager and Project Team. The key is to obtain clear sign-off where scope changes are required during the life of the project.

We will take this to be the initial launch speed of the launcher for the short range position at any angle. Part B Setup: Use the side screws (Fig. 3) to adjust the launcher to launch at an angle between 20 and 60 degrees above the horizontal. Record this angle in Table 2. Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Re-measure the vertical launcher height. Record this in Table 2. Use the initial launch speed from Part A and initial vertical height from Part B to calculate a predicted time of flight. Then calculate and predict the horizontal distance that the ball will travel. Show your work below – Predicted horizontal distance _____________________ Record this in Table 2. Draw a line across the middle of a white piece of paper and tape the paper on the floor so the line is at the predicted horizontal distance from the Launcher. Cover the paper with carbon paper. Fire a test shot. If the ball does not fall on the paper, check your calculations and adjust the paper if necessary.
All costs for equipment related to the administration of the project (e.g. PCs, portables, etc.); Communication costs (postage, fax, telephone, internet access, mailing, etc.); Infrastructure costs (rent, electricity, etc.) of the premises where the project is being carried out; Office supplies; Photocopies Note: An organisation that receives an operating grant from the EU budget cannot include indirect costs in their final statement of expenditure for an action grant for the period covered by the operating grant It is expected that the beneficiaries can provide copies of the following types of documents upon Agency’s request. No supporting documents need to be attached to the final report, but the Commission often requests to the coordinator/ beneficiary to provide sample of representative supporting documents from any given cost categories. The size of the sampling requested may represent up to a 100% of the costs declared. In case of a multi beneficiary project the sampling will include both costs incurred by the project coordinator and those incurred by the co beneficiaries. The documents must be the same as those which would be accepted by the beneficiaries' tax authorities and may include the documents described below in respect of individual cost categories. 5.2 Ineligible costs Under no circumstances can the following types of costs be considered as eligible: Return on capital; Debt and debt service charges; Provisions for losses or potential future liabilities (provisions for contractual and moral obligations, fines, financial penalties and legal costs); Interest owed; Doubtful debts; Exchange losses; Costs declared by the beneficiary and covered by another project or work programme receiving a European Union grant; Excessive or reckless expenditure; Expenses for travel to or from countries outside eligible countries, unless explicit prior authorisation is granted by the Agency; Contributions in kind. Costs which could be considered as eligible according to the criteria detailed under section 5.1 become ineligible if they are not supported by adequate supporting accounting documents (see also point 5.7 below). 5.3 Calculation of the final EU grant Please refer to Article II.25 of the grant agreement for more information on the calculation of the final grant. In short, the final grant is determined as follows: STEP 1: Declared expenditures from your financial report
1. MANAGEMENT OF YOUR PROJECT – Project Life Cycle Overview SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSALS SELECTION RESULTS CONTRACTUALISATION Submission of proposals to the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency. The assessment of proposals is undertaken by evaluators according to a number of criteria established within the call for proposals, which takes into account both formal and quality elements. Lists of successful grant applications are established. All applicants are contacted: and receive individual notification indicating the exact status of their projects. Applicants who have been successful in the selection process receive a grant agreement from the Agency. The Agreement indicates the grant awarded and sets out the Financial rules to be applied. Payments are usually made in installments. REPORTING MONITORING OF PROJECT ELIGIBILITY PERIOD AND PROJECT ACTIVITIES SUBMISSION OF PROGRESS REPORT (If required) When the financial capacity of the organisation is assessed as weak by the Agency, applicants are required to submit a Progress Report, providing information on project implementation and expenditure incurred thus far. The report is assessed and only after its acceptance the second installment can be paid. SUBMISSION OF FINAL REPORT & AUDIT The European Commission/Executive Agency monitors the implementation of the project through its life-cycle. Project visits and Thematic Monitoring initiatives are undertaken in some cases. The Eligibility Period is the time during which costs can be incurred and covered by the European Union grant. The length of the eligibility period depends on the project duration. Planned project activities are carried out. At the end of the project, a Final Report is submitted which provides information on project implementation, results achieved and expenditure incurred. The report will be assessed on its content and financial qualities. Once the project has closed, the Agency/Commission may elect to carry out an audit within 5 years of the closure date.

Scope When we think about planning for the project, we need to think about what activities and deliverables (see definition above) are within the project’s boundaries or mandate and which activities and deliverables are outside (not on the project’s “To Do” list). In-Scope: <List activities that are In-Scope for this request e.g. procurement of solution and/or resources> > Out-of-Scope: < List activities that are Out-of-Scope for this request e.g. integration> > Project Complexity (To be determined during intake meeting.) ˃ ____ Project Class Project Management Approach Small Light Project Coordination Medium Moderate Project Management Large Substantial Project Management by a Skilled Project Manager The chart will assist in determining the complexity of your Waterloo IT project. RISK How likely is it that the project will meet expectations and objectives without close risk monitoring and mitigations? RESOURCES How costly is the project in terms of expenses AND average salary of FTEs required to meet project expectations and objectives? PROJECT MANAGEMENT Small Sized, Managed Work Project Very likely: Risks are low impact, low likelihood with no required identification of mitigations Little Cost: <= $40,000 in expenses and average resource FTE Light project coordination
(short timeframe, no more than a few months) Medium Sized, Moderate Complexity Project (medium timeframe, does not exceed one year) Somewhat Likely: Risks are low-medium impact with low-medium likelihood. Some mitigation may have to be identified in advance and risks may have to be monitored for changes. Somewhat Costly: <= $250,000 in expenses and average resource FTE OR Little Cost: <= $40,000 in expenses and average resource FTE Moderate project management Very likely: Risks are low impact, low likelihood with no required identification of mitigations Costly: > $250,000 in expenses and average resource FTE (many resources, usually spanning many departments) OR Somewhat Costly: <= $250,000 in expenses and average resource FTE Moderate project management Large Sized, Substantial Complexity Project (long timeframe, close to a year or longer) Unlikely: These projects are typically cross functional with high impact. There will be high impact risks, with high probability. Mitigations will have to be identified in advance and risks will have to be continuously monitored and reassessed throughout project. Costly: > $250,000 in expenses and average resource FTE (many resources, usually spanning many departments) OR Somewhat Costly: <= $250,000 in expenses Heavy project management by a skilled Project Manager
