Coordinator's Operating Plan
C. Specify actions to be included in the Transmission Operator's GMD Operating
Procedures
D. Identify conflicts in their area's Transmission Operator plans ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------C. Specify actions to be included in the Transmission
Operator's GMD Operating Procedures
An Operating Plan is a document that identifies a group of activities that may be
used to achieve some goal. An Operating Plan may contain Operating Procedures
and Operating Processes. Which of these is a company-specific example of an
Operating Plan that would need procedures and process to support the plan?
A. System Restoration
,B. Personnel readiness
C. Control Center ergonomics
D. Under frequency operations ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. System
Restoration
State the elements needed in a Transmission Operator's Operating Plan and a
Balancing Authority's Operating Plan and why the Reliability Coordinator must
review the Operating Plans in its area.
1) Notifications
2) Process to mitigate Emergencies
3) Role and Responsibilities
A. 1, 2, 3 are needed in an Operating Plan and the Reliability Coordinator will
review for compatibility and inter-dependency and coordination
B. 1 and 3 are needed in an Operating Plan and the Reliability Coordinator will
review for completeness
C. 1, 2, 3 are needed in an Operating Plan and the Reliability Coordinator will
approve each step
D. 1 and 2 are needed in an Operating Plan and the Reliability Coordinator will
review for wide are reliability ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. 1, 2, 3 are
needed in an Operating Plan and the Reliability Coordinator will review for
compatibility and inter-dependency and coordination
The primary function of each Balancing Authority is meeting generation-load-
interchange balance. Capacity Emergencies and Energy Emergencies are
emergency conditions that require an Operating Plan with what purpose?
,A. Energy Emergency Alerts is a transmission system process to relief system
operating limit exceedances.
B. Energy Emergency Alerts should be used in consecutive order to alert the
Interconnection.
C. Energy Emergency Alerts is controlled by the Balancing Authority to request
load shed.
D. Energy Emergency Alerts is an Operating Process to maintain generation-load
balance in emergency conditions. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------D. Energy
Emergency Alerts is an Operating Process to maintain generation-load balance in
emergency conditions.
A Balancing Authority experiences generators that become unavailable to start -
up due to fuel shortages. When a large generator trips the Balancing Authority
reaches out to its Reliability Coordinator. What would the Reliability Coordinator
next actions include?
A. The Reliability Coordinator will issue a TLR as soon as possible
B. The Reliability Coordinator will notify neighboring Reliability Coordinators as
needed.
C. The Reliability Coordinator will notify the Balancing Authorities and
Transmission Operators within its RC Area within an hour
D. The Reliability Coordinator will notify the Balancing Authorities and
Transmission Operators within its RC Area within 30 minutes ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------D. The Reliability Coordinator will notify the Balancing
Authorities and Transmission Operators within its RC Area within 30 minutes
, A Balancing Authority maintains generation-interchange-load balance for their
Balancing Authority Area. How does the Balancing Authority ensure that SOLs are
not exceeded?
A. Do not allow unscheduled power flow.
B. Set generation at maximum output.
C. Ensure generator resources are sufficient to meet demand.
D. Increase limits based on needs. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. Ensure
generator resources are sufficient to meet demand.
The goal or purpose of Transmission Operations standards is to ensure
Transmission Operators and Balancing Authorities operate within specified limits.
The Balancing Authority meets its demand and energy requirements and the
Transmission Operator maintains system operating limits in the normal operating
range. What should a system operator do when studies indicate limits will be
exceeded?
A. Change the system model.
B. Request a mitigating plan from the Reliability Coordinator.
C. Create Operating Plans that will mitigate the predicted issues.
D. Plan to have more reserves. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. Create
Operating Plans that will mitigate the predicted issues.
