RR Prerequisite: Reliability and Performance Monitoring

(Required)

Applicable to: Cities & Utilities, Campuses, Transit

INTENT

To ensure data collection, monitoring, and reporting of power interruptions.

REQUIREMENTS

All projects

Install infrastructure and/or develop formal processes to continuously monitor and record interruptions for the complete project distribution network at high, medium, and low voltage levels. Use the standard database structure specified in the PEER Reference Guide to document interruption data for all applicable system voltage levels for at least three months.

Cities and Utilities

Projects without existing monitoring capability must commit to a plan to monitor and record interruptions in the distribution network at the low voltage level within three years and incorporate the necessary infrastructure as part of the project’s energy infrastructure improvement plan.

Campuses

The infrastructure and/or processes must address, at a minimum, interruptions at the building level for all buildings and loads that are centrally operated by the project. Commit to a plan to install automated interruption monitoring within three years.

Transit

The infrastructure and/or process must address, at minimum, interruptions at traction and non-traction loads operated by the project. In addition, commit to a plan to establish automated infrastructure for interruption monitoring within three years.

All projects

Use the standard database structure specified in the Reference Guide to document interruption data for all the three system voltage levels for a minimum period of three months.
