During system restoration, who is responsible for coordinating restoration activities among various operators?

The Reliability Coordinator plays a critical role in system restoration by providing oversight and coordination of activities among various operators involved in the process. This individual is responsible for ensuring that all parties involved, such as generator operators, transmission operators, and other entities, work together effectively to restore the system safely and efficiently.

During system restoration, the Reliability Coordinator maintains situational awareness of the overall system status, ensuring that restoration efforts align with reliability standards and operational procedures. They facilitate communication among different operators, help prioritize restoration actions, and monitor the progress of these activities to prevent further issues. This central coordinating function is essential for effective and timely system restoration, highlighting the importance of the Reliability Coordinator’s role in the overall reliability of the electric grid.

In contrast, other options do not encompass the same level of responsibility for coordinating restoration activities across various entities. The Generator Operator focuses primarily on the operation of generating units, while the Transmission Operator is concerned with managing the transmission network. A Control Room Supervisor oversees operations within a specific control room but may not have the broader coordination responsibilities that the Reliability Coordinator holds across multiple operators.
