Collaborate with Transmission Facility Owners, Generation Facility Owners, and Distribution Facility Owners to resolve technical issues and align RAS design and operation with system reliability requirements.
Support project, system planning, operations planning, project engineering, and real-time operations teams throughout the RAS lifecycle.
Assess the ongoing need, effectiveness, coordination, and performance of existing RAS, and lead opportunities to optimize, simplify, replace, or retire schemes.
Identify, assess, and mitigate reliability risks arising from RAS complexity, interactions among schemes, and coordination with protection and control systems.
Provide technical input to system controller procedures, operating limits, studies, and other operational documentation affected by RAS.
Serve as the requirement owner and subject-matter expert for Alberta Reliability Standards and ISO rules related to RAS, and represent the AESO in relevant NERC and WECC forums.
