Control center facilities must have a 5 days
minimum of how many days of fuel
for the backup generator?
If PJM ACE shows overgeneration, Less than scheduled
actual imports are:
Who should a generator contact at Master Coordinator
PJM to clear an outage ticket?
To correct for a slow or fast clock, +/-.02 Hz
system frequency schedules are
offset by:
What frequency would PJM set to 59.98Hz
correct for fast-time error?
What frequency would PJM set to 60.02Hz
correct for slow-time error?
, What info is on an instantaneous synchronized (regulating and non-regulating),
reserve check? quick start, secondary and beyond secondary
reserves
Generators must provide PJM with a No less than 2 and no more than 8 points
realistic Reactive Capability Curve.
This curve must have no less than __
points, and no more than __ points.
A classic indicator of voltage system loads change by a small amount
instability is when system voltages
change greatly when...
Above the line of a D-curve... Lagging (pushing VARs). Generators will be set
there during high-load/low voltage conditions.
Below the line of a D-curve... Leading (absorbing VARs). Generators will be set
there during low load/high voltage conditions.
MWs and MVARs have what kind of Inverse (increase in MW = decrease in MVARs)
relationship?
How often do generators need to Every 5 years
test reactive power capability?
The computer hardware and 99.95%
software at each control center
shall achieve an availability level of
what for those reliability functions
directly affect the successful
operation of PJM?
What is EHV? Extra high voltage. Classified as 345kv and above
