Overview/Glossary Characteristics The WECC Glossary of Terms and Naming Conventions (WECC Glossary) consists of terms that were developed using the WECC Reliability Standards Development Procedures (Procedures), or its successor. This glossary shall be used as the single-source repository for all defined terms developed using the Procedures. The WECC Glossary shall not duplicate a defined term maintained by either the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) or the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB). Purpose Per the WECC Standards Committee (WSC) Charter, the WSC is responsible for performing an annual review of the WECC Glossary to ensure the document remains current. The following steps describe the process for adding, modifying, deleting, and administering the defined terms located in the WECC Glossary. Adding Terms The process for adding terms to the WECC Glossary is described in the Procedures. Modifying Terms The process for modifying an existing WECC Glossary term shall be initiated by filing a WECC Standards Authorization Request (SAR) and developed using the steps established in the Procedures. Upon final disposition, the WSC shall ensure the final term is included in the WECC Glossary. Deleting Terms When there is no longer a document (developed under the Procedures) with an active Effective Date in which a specific defined term is used, that term shall be deleted from the WECC Glossary. Administration During development, modification, or consideration for deletion of a defined term, the term shall be retained in the document under development. Upon final disposition, the WSC shall ensure the final term is removed from the body of the document under development and moved into the WECC Glossary. The updated WECC Glossary shall be posted as soon after final disposition as is practical. The previous version of the WECC Glossary shall be archived. Defined terms developed for WECC Regional Reliability Standards will be handled in accordance with NERC’s instructions.
