About Regulatory Reports
APM provides following types of Regulatory reports, each of which reports a different set of data:
- NERC Event Reports: Includes data about Events for which the Regulatory Organization is NERC. This report contains all NERC Events logged in a GAA Unit for a specified period. APM provides the NERC GADS Event Report 07 in the baseline GAA NERC Report record that can be used to generate NERC Event report. The NERC GADS Event Report 07 returns event data in the 07 format required by NERC.
- CEA Event Reports: Includes data about Events for which the Regulatory Organization is CEA. This report contains all CEA Events logged in a GAA Unit for a specified period. APM provides the CEA Event Report in the baseline GAA NERC Report record that can be used to generate CEA Event report. The CEA Event Report returns event data in the Generation Equipment Status File format as specified by CEA.
- NERC Performance Reports: Includes data about unit performance for the specified month.APM provides the NERC GADS Performance Report 05 baseline GAA NERC Report record that can be used to generate NERC performance report. The NERC GADS Performance Report 05 returns performance data in the 05 format required by NERC.
- CEA Performance Reports: Includes the generation data about unit performance for the specified month. APM provides the CEA Performance Report baseline GAA CEA Report that you can use to generate the CEA performance report.
All the Regulatory reports are downloaded as text files and the CEA Performance Report is downloaded as a spreadsheet (.xlsx file).
You can view a list of Regulatory reports configured for a GAA Unit only if the reports have been configured for a GAA Unit by the administrator.
About Management Reports
APM provides three types of Management reports, each of which reports a different set of data:
- Event Reports: Includes data about Events.
- Performance Reports: Includes data about unit performance.
- Events Based on Cause Code and Date Reports: Includes Event data based on the Unit ID, Cause Code System, and the events that have Event start date or Even end date within the specified period.
- Management Reports for performance data are available for units associated with NERC Performance Record configuration.
- Management Reports tab in the Performance and Reports workspace of the Unit Summary screen is not accessible for units reporting to CEA.
