A Balancing Authority's CPS1 calculation is computed
using its clock-minute average of two values. What are
those two values?
A. Reporting ACE and Frequency Error
B. Actual and Scheduled Net Interchange NIA and NIS.
C. L10 and Reporting ACE
D. Actual and Scheduled Frequency (FA and FS) -
Answer-A. Reporting ACE and Frequency Error
To conform to CPS requirements, a Balancing Authority
must have which of the following?
A. CPS1 greater than or equal to 90% or BAAL greater
than or equal to 100%.
B. CPS1 greater than or equal to 100% and ACE does not
exceed BAAL more than 15 consecutive minutes.

C. CPS1 greater than or equal to 100% and ACE does not
exceed BAAL more than 30 consecutive minutes.
D. CPS1 greater than or equal to 90% and ACE does not
exceed BAAL more than 30 consecutive minutes. -
Answer-C. CPS1 greater than or equal to 100% and ACE
does not exceed BAAL more than 30 consecutive minutes.
What should a Balancing Authority set Scheduled
Frequency to for a slow Time Error Correction?
A. 60.02 Hz
B. 59.98 Hz
C. 59.80 Hz
D. 60.20 Hz - Answer-A. 60.02 Hz
Which of the following is a potential source of Contingency
Reserve?
1. Offline generation that takes 10 minutes to start and
ramp to full output
2. Online generation at full load
3. Controllable load resources
4. Voltage reductions
,3|Page
A. 3 and 4
B. 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3
D. 1 and 2 - Answer-C. 1 and 3
In an Interconnection, which of the following is required to
be in the metered boundaries of a Balancing Authority
Area?
A. Generation
B. Transmission
C. Load
D. All are required to be within the metered boundaries of
a Balancing Authority. - Answer-D. All are required to be
within the metered boundaries of a Balancing Authority.
The minimum compliance for NERC Disturbance Control
Standard (DCS) is ________?
A. 90% of all reportable disturbances
, 4|Page
B. 90% of all disturbances
C. 100% for all reportable disturbances
D. 100% for all generator tips - Answer-C. 100% for all
reportable disturbances
A Balancing Authority has a normal load of around 8500
MW. Its most severe single contingency is a 700 MW coal-
fired steam unit. At 0810, the ACE value was at -55 MW
when a 600 MW generator in the Balancing Authority's
northern area tripped off line due to a generator
differential. This event resulted in a large negative ACE for
the Balancing Authority. What value must ACE return to
and in what time frame to avoid a DCS violation?
A. -55 MW ACE in 15 minutes
B. Zero ACE in 10 minutes
C. -55 MW ACE in 10 minutes
D. Zero ACE in 15 minutes - Answer-A. -55 MW ACE in 15
minutes
