PJM GENERATOR CERTIFICATION SCRIPT
2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉Why does PJM require an additional notification of Unit testing 30
minutes prior to the GO/MOC performing the reactive capability
test? . Answer: To allow PJM and TOs to make adjustments to system
voltages prior to the test
◉For real-time changes in Reactive Capability, The GO/MOC should
submit an updated D-curve via eDART and ____________. . Answer:
Notify PJM and the respective TO via phone
◉When submitting expected capability data for "new" units, what
reactive capability should be used? . Answer: Vendor supplied D-
curves
◉If reactive testing for a facility is done at different times, how long
does the owner have to complete all required testing? . Answer: 6
months
, ◉One of the leading causes of the 1999 Low Voltage event in PJM
was_____________. . Answer: PJM's EMS at that time had only
nameplate "D"-curve data for generating unit reactive capabilities
◉During the PJM Peak Period Maintenance Season what is the
maximum amount of consecutive days the outage can last? . Answer:
9
◉When an outage requires verbal notification to PJM which PJM
personnel should be contacted? . Answer: Master Coordinator
◉Real time transmission constraints or contingencies may be
alleviated with generators operating ________. . Answer: off cost (out
of merit)
◉Monitoring LMP may give insights into ________. . Answer: system
constraints
◉PJM calls for which of the following to recover the ACE so that tie
line schedules are maintained? . Answer: synchronized reserves
◉If not cancelled by PJM, the minimum generation alert expires
_____. . Answer: at the end of the specified light load period
