conditions
B. all unavailable generation and transmission made available
C. all interchange is scheduled
D. the load forecast is within 5% of actual
the bulk power system can be operated in anticipated normal and contingency
conditions
If the estimated charging incurred from switching a 500 kV line in service is 1.7
MVAR per mile, what would be incurred if a 100 mile long 500 kV line were
switched in service?
A. 85 MVAR
B. 170 MVAR
C. 850 MVAR
D. It cannot be calculated with the information provided
170 MVAR
All of the following are reasons to notify other systems through predetermined
communication paths EXCEPT:
A. Insufficient resources
B. Lack of single contingency coverage
C. Sabotage incident
D. Loss of 10 MW of load
Loss of 10 MW of load ?
What would be the most likely event if the frequency in your Balancing Authority
Area declines and the interchange out of your area increased?
A. An internal generator tripped
B. An external generator tripped
C. Internal load was lost
D. External load was lost
An external generator tripped
, What is the major role of the EMS State Estimator?
A. Identifies the contingencies that exist on the power system
B. Estimates the system load that is anticipated at the peak of the day
C. Calculates SE values based on telemetered data and system model
D. Establishes the values that the system operator must operate within
Calculates SE values based on telemetered data and system model
Which of the following is NOT an indication of pending voltage collapse?
A. Unusually low system voltages
B. All generators reaching maximum MVAR output
C. Voltages trending high and stable
D. Voltages not responsive to tap changes
Voltages trending high and stable
BA "A" is selling power to BA "C". The two lines between BA "A" and BA "C"
suddenly trip and lockout after two reclosing attempts. The tripping of the lines
has caused the line between BA "B" and BA "C" to exceed its emergency ratings.
Of the options provided, which would assist in returning the line loading to within
limits?
A. Increase generation in BA "A" and reduce load in BA "B"
B. Increase generation in BA "C" and reduce load in BA "B"
C. Decrease generation in BA "C" and reduce load in BA "C"
D. Increase generation in BA "C" and reduce load in BA "C"
Increase generation in BA "C" and reduce load in BA "C"
In order to be compliant with NERC Standards, what is the maximum time that it
can take a Transmission Operator to evacuate their primary control center and
get to their backup control center?
A. 30 minutes
B. 1 hour
C. 2 hours
D. 4 hours
2 hours
Which of the following devices would you use if you were calculating dynamic
reactive reserve for your system?
Shunt reactors
Transformers
Shunt capacitors
Generators
Generators
Because of the importance of telemetered data, it is imperative that the system
operator ensures that the values are verified:
