As a Transmission Operator, you realize that the voltage level is starting to
decline in the North West part of the system. Which of the following devices
should you, as a Transmission Operator, be able to operate, and/or have
another entity operate to raise the voltage level back to normal in the North West
part of the system?
A) Transformer Underload Tap Changers
B) Shunt Capacitor Banks
C) Generator Reactive Output
D) All answers are correct
D) All answers are correct
,Voltage reduction for load relief should be made on the ________ _.
A) Distribution system
B) Entire Interconnection simultaneously
C) Tie-lines with other Balancing Authority Areas
D) Transmission System
A) Distribution system
Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) is to stabilize the imbalance
between generation and load that has been created by a system
disturbance. This is accomplished by ____ _.
A) Tripping generation first
B) Voltage reduction on the distribution system.
C) Shedding all load to arrest frequency
D) Shedding load prior to generation tripping
D) Shedding load prior to generation tripping
,Failure to meet the DCS criteria of recovery within 15 minutes results in which
consequence for a specified time period for the Balancing Authority's failure to
recover?
A) Increased Contingency Reserve requirements
B) Decertification as a Balancing Authority
C) Not allowed to supply regulation services
D) Expulsion from the Reserve Sharing Group
A) Increased Contingency Reserve requirements
A Balancing Authority foresees or is experiencing conditions where all
available resources are committed to meet firm load, and firm transactions. The
BA should request which level of the Energy Emergency Alerts?
A) Energy Emergency Alert Level 2
B) Energy Emergency Alert Level 4
C) Energy Emergency Alert Level 1
D) Energy Emergency Alert Level 3
A) Energy Emergency Alert Level 1
, Preparations are being made to tie two islands together during restoration. Island
"A" has a frequency of 58.95 Hz and Island "B" has a frequency of
59.97 Hz. What action should be taken to synchronize the two islands?
A) Shed load in Island "B"
B) Shed load in Island "A".
C) Disable the Synch Check Relay.
D) Increase generation in Island "B".
B) Shed load in Island "A".
You experience a full system shutdown. You are in the process of restoring load
and you are concerned about re-collapsing the system. Which is the best
approach in the restoration process that will help ensure your system will be
restored successfully?
A) Maintain frequency between 59.5 HZ and 60.5 HZ.
B) If the system has stabilized at below 60 HZ, shed 15% - 20% of the load to raise
the frequency to 61 HZ.
C) Avoid energizing loads in excess of 5% of the online generation capacity of
the system.
D) Operating reserves should be maintained to cover the largest generator
currently in service.
C) Avoid energizing loads in excess of 5% of the online generation capacity of
the system.
