NERC Emergency Table-Top Simulation/Drill

Each Emergency Table-Top Simulation/Drill scenario is an excellent, cutting-edge way to practice carrying out emergency and restoration operations using simulations of real-world scenarios occurring on an AGC system.

Course Description

Each Emergency Table-Top Simulation/Drill scenario is credited CEH time based on the same events used in actual on-site emergency training. The NERC/WECC Emergency Table-Top On-site Simulation/Drill course includes 13 Table-Top On-Site Simulation/Drill scenarios.

During each Table-Top Simulation/Drill scenario, you will be provided time to read the given information before you begin your response to the training event. After carefully preparing your response to the scenario in your "log" you will be provided with time to compare your responses with the basic expectations for such an event.

Topics Covered
  • System arrangement (as applicable)
  • System pre-event status
  • System information summary data (as applicable)
  • Emergency request information (as applicable)
  • Analysis log of system status maintained in real-time
  • Analysis log of system alarms maintained in real-time
  • Factors affecting change in system status
  • Causes of system status changes/alarms
  • System restoration
  • System event/response review
