ACE. supply of energy. - ANSWER supply of energy A Balancing Authority's largest single contingency is a unit rated at 1,000 MW. Which of the following disturbances would constitute a reportable disturbance for Disturbance Control Performance evaluation based on the NERC DCS criteria? The loss of a 950 MW generating unit at 100% output. The loss of 3 generating units totaling 1,300 MW over a period of 3 hours. The loss of a 750 MW generating unit at 100% output. The loss of 715 MW of firm load. - ANSWER The loss of a 950 MW generating unit at 100% output. Balancing Authority informs the Reliability Coordinator that the projected load in a Balancing Area for the next four hours (over the morning peak) is trending above the available generation that had been committed for the day. Operating Reserves will be required to be converted into energy to cover the shortfall. Which Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) level should the RC declare? No EEA should be declared until load shed is expected. EEA 1 EEA 2 EEA 3 - ANSWER EEA 1 A Balancing Authority anticipating an operating capacity or energy emergency shall perform all actions necessary which includes: Bringing on all available generation All answers are correct Preparing to reduce firm load Postponing equipment maintenance - ANSWER All answers are correct As a Transmission Operator, you realize that the voltage level is starting to decline in the North West part of the system.
