EMS Lessons Learned In-process Abnormal ACE due to a Model Translation Error After a scheduled quarterly model update, the entity experienced an abnormal Area Control Error (ACE) deviation from expected ranges. It was identified that the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) application sent invalid set point instructions to the generation fleet due to a model translation error. 3 RELIABILITY | RESILIENCE | SECURITY

Brainstorm How many utilities are configuring the system like this (the operators and the running EMS servers were in different sites)? Why? Is this a new normal after Covid? Any redundancy design of communications between control centers or between the control center and data center? 7 RELIABILITY | RESILIENCE | SECURITY
