be metered.
a. Communications
b. Transformers
c. Tie Lines
d. Generation
,c. Energy Emergency Alert Level I ~CORRECT ANSWER~What Energy
Alert Level would the following example be categorized as?
"A Balancing Authority, Reserve Sharing Group, or Load Serving Entity
foresees, or is experiencing conditions where all available resources are
committed to meet firm load, firm transactions, etc, and requests an Energy
Emergency Alert."
a. Energy Emergency Alert Level IV
b. Energy Emergency Alert Level III
c. Energy Emergency Alert Level I
d. Energy Emergency Alert Level II
b. Implement the appropriate congestion management procedure.
~CORRECT ANSWER~You are a Reliability Coordinator in the Eastern
Interconnection. A flow gate has become overloaded because a parallel 345kV
line has relayed out and part of that load has transferred over to the flow
gate causing an SOL and possible IROL violation. What would you do to
relieve this violation?
a. Notify another Reliability Coordinator and ask them if they are having
any problem, and what should you do.
b. Implement the appropriate congestion management procedure.
c. Issue a Transmission warning to the Transmission Operators that lost the
345kV line.
d. Place the line back in service within 30 minutes.
b. Adjacent Balancing Authorities ~CORRECT ANSWER~Interchange
schedules may be implemented between _______________________.
a. Source and Sink Balancing Authorities
, b. Adjacent Balancing Authorities
c. Sending, Receiving and Intermediate Balancing Authorities in the same
Region.
d. Balancing Authorities in the same Interconnection.
a. Frequency will continue to drop, generator governor response, decrease in
load. ~CORRECT ANSWER~When the frequency of an Interconnection
decreases due to the loss of a large generator, the ________________ until the
combination of both ____________ and ______________ replace the output of
the lost generator.
a. Frequency will continue to drop, generator governor response, decrease in
load
b. Frequency will continue to drop, generator governor response, voltage
regulating transformer response
c. Voltage will continue to raise, generator AVR response, voltage regulating
transformer response
d. Voltage will continue to raise, generator AVR response, decrease in load
a. That all involved reliability entities determined that there is no reliability
problems with the Arranged Interchange. ~CORRECT ANSWER~In
developing and setting up an Arranged Interchange, which of the following
would transition the Arranged Interchange to the Confirmed Interchange
status?
a. That all involved reliability entities determined that there is no reliability
problems with the Arranged Interchange.
b. The Department of Energy (DOE) made an in-depth study of the
Interchange Agreement and determined that it would have an adverse affect
on the Interconnection.
