rewrite The Abnormal Operations OTS Training module will be offered to all System Operators, who perform the TOP and BA functions and Shift Supervisors, who perform the RC function. The program will be comprised of two separate components with each component containing a number of different scenarios. The components will focus on system disturbances and restoration. The Trainer will deliver all of the training offered in the Abnormal Operations OTS Training with the primary teaching tool being the OTS. In order to ensure that System Operators and Shift Supervisors receive the most out of the Abnormal Operations OTS Training, their input into the selection of scenarios will be requested. It is mandatory for both components in the Abnormal Operations OTS Training to be completed by System Operators and Shift Supervisors. In addition, it will be mandatory for each System Operator and Shift Supervisor to complete these components on an annual basis. Component 1 will focus on system disturbances. This component is designed to prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors in what appropriate actions need to be taken during a system disturbance. It will help prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors to assess the situation and respond to the disturbances in the most efficient manner. The Trainer develops training material on lessons learned from actual system events. Some examples of system disturbances could be outages of transmission lines and generators tripping offline. Component 2 will focus on system restoration. This component will help prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors in how best to respond in an emergency situation when restoration of the power system is required. It will also prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors in how best to restore the power system, the necessary actions that need to be taken in an emergency situation and how to deal with the responsibility of having to restore the power system. Some examples that could be used are restoration of the East Coast, West Coast, Great Northern Peninsula (GNP), Labrador East and Labrador West. The primary goals of the Abnormal Operations OTS Training are: 1. To ensure System Operators and Shift Supervisors feel confident they can handle any type of system disturbance; 2. To prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors to respond to emergency restoration procedures in the best possible manner; and 3. To build System Operators and Shift Supervisors confidence when dealing with a disturbance or emergency situation occurs on the real time power system Component 3 includes exercises for the Backup Control Center (BCC), equipment outages, contingency analysis, tabletop exercises, and discussions on how to follow the operating instructions. It helps energy control center operators keep the BES reliable in a number of ways. 1. Backup Control Centre (BCC) Exercises: These exercises are designed to prepare System Operators and Shift Supervisors for situations where the primary control center is unavailable or compromised. By practicing in a backup environment, operators can ensure seamless transition and continued operation of the BES, thereby maintaining its reliability. 2. Equipment Outages: Training on equipment outages allows operators to understand and manage situations when key equipment fails or is unavailable. This knowledge is crucial in minimizing the impact of such outages on the BES and ensuring its continued operation. 3. Contingency Analysis: This involves training operators to anticipate and plan for various scenarios that could potentially disrupt the BES. By analyzing these contingencies in advance, operators can develop strategies and responses that will help maintain the reliability of the BES in the face of such scenarios. 4. Table Top Exercises: These exercises provide operators with a hands-on, interactive way to practice their responses to various scenarios. By simulating potential issues, operators can gain experience and c
