- BC-1530.10.10Network State MonitoringWatch live measurements, device status and alarms across the network so operators see problems as they develop.
- BC-1530.10.20Grid Alarm ResponseSort, acknowledge and act on network alarms in order of risk so the critical ones are never lost in the flood.
- BC-1530.10.30Voltage & Loading ControlKeep voltage within statutory limits and equipment loading within ratings by adjusting tap changers, capacitors and network configuration.
- BC-1530.10.40Control Room Shift OperationsRun shift handovers, operator logs and control room staffing so every shift works from one accurate picture of the network.
- BC-1530.10.50System Operator CoordinationExchange schedules, constraints and instructions with transmission and system operators so local actions stay consistent with the wider grid.
