Under the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) there are 2 types of alerts: Elevated
Threat Alert and __________. ✔Correct Answer-Imminent Threat Alert
A Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning is issued by PJM when the NOAA has issued a warning or
an alert for a potential geo-magnetic storm of severity _______ or greater. ✔Correct Answer-
K7
The Generating Capacity reported on a Supplementary Status Report (SSR) includes which of the
following? (Select 2) ✔Correct Answer-Capacity from offline Hydro and CT units that can be
synchronized within 10 minutes.
Total Capacity from online Generation.
What is the requested response time for members to reply to a request for SSR data?
✔Correct Answer-10 Minutes
If a PJM Member has received reports of a terrorism or sabotage threat to their facilities, they
would notify whom at PJM (in addition to NERC and the DOE) to share this information?
✔Correct Answer-The PJM Shift Supervisor
What is the purpose of a capacity emergency warning? (Select 2) ✔Correct Answer-To keep
Members informed of actual capacity shortages or contingencies that may jeopardize reliability
during real time operations. To ask Members to take specific actions in order to provide relief to
the PJM system
PJM has issued a Minimum Generation Alert. Your current generation output is 200 MW. The
Economic Minimum is 150 MW and Emergency Minimum is 125 MW. How much ERG should be
reported for this unit? ✔Correct Answer-25 MW
, A Manual Load Dump Warning will be issued when: ✔Correct Answer-Primary Reserve is less
than the largest generating unit or the loss of a transmission facility jeopardizes reliability after
all possible measures have been taken to increase reserves
Actions in a Low Voltage Alert include: (Select 2) ✔Correct Answer-Request a Reactive
Reserve Check
Review transmission and generation outages
Which entities can cancel generator reactive capability tests prior to or during the testing
process? (Select 2) ✔Correct Answer-PJM and the affected TO
With whom does PJM share the results of generation reactive capability tests? ✔Correct
Answer-The affected TO
How does the Generation Owner/Operator inform PJM and the TO of scheduled AVR or PSS
outages? ✔Correct Answer-eDART
Why does PJM require an additional notification of Unit testing 30 minutes prior to the
GO/MOC performing the reactive capability test? ✔Correct Answer-To allow PJM and TOs to
make adjustments to system voltages prior to the test
For real-time changes in Reactive Capability, The GO/MOC should submit an updated D-curve
via eDART and ____________. ✔Correct Answer-Notify PJM and the respective TO via phone
When submitting expected capability data for "new" units, what reactive capability should be
used? ✔Correct Answer-Vendor supplied D-curves
If reactive testing for a facility is done at different times, how long does the owner have to
complete all required testing? ✔Correct Answer-6 months
One of the leading causes of the 1999 Low Voltage event in PJM was_____________.
✔Correct Answer-PJM's EMS at that time had only nameplate "D"-curve data for generating unit
reactive capabilities
During the PJM Peak Period Maintenance Season what is the maximum amount of consecutive
days the outage can last? ✔Correct Answer-9
When an outage requires verbal notification to PJM which PJM personnel should be contacted?
✔Correct Answer-Master Coordinator
Real time transmission constraints or contingencies may be alleviated with generators operating
________. ✔Correct Answer-off cost (out of merit)
Monitoring LMP may give insights into ________. ✔Correct Answer-system constraints
