, NERC text questions & Answer key
A. Shed load
Generation is not sufficient
to meet load, the control area
is importing heavily, and
voltage is decaying, which of
the following actions should
be taken by the operator?
A. Shed load
B. Correct schedule
deviation
C. Use the Interconnection
Hotline
D. Schedule interchange
transaction
D. Tie-Line metering
What measures power flow
data between control areas?
A. OASIS
B. Interchange
C. Transactions
D. Tie-Line metering
C. Reliability stays at acceptable levels
Transmission line removal as
a voltage control can be used
if:
A. Loop flow remains high
B. Reactive equipment is
available
C. Reliability stays at
acceptable levels
D. Synchronous condensers
are off the line
, NERC text questions & Answer key
C. Price
Control Area A is generating
and sending Control Area B
a schedule. Both control
areas should verify all of the
following EXCEPT:
A. Magnitude (MW)
B. Ramp rate
C. Price
D. Start/stop times
D. Tie Line Bias Mode
The AGC control mode that
is normally used for system
operation is:
A. Flat Tie Mode
B. Flat Frequency Mode
C. Frequency Bias Mode
D. Tie Line Bias Mode
A. Increase generation to reduce flows across the ties
There has been a wide-area
disturbance. The transfers
through the system have
increased and there is a
possibility that loss of one
major tie line would cause
corresponding loading and
voltage deviations. Having
system resources available,
the security coordinator
should:
A. Increase generation to
reduce flows across the ties
B. Implement schedule
changes across the hour
C. Implement a voltage
reduction plan
D. Advise the supervisor
, NERC text questions & Answer key
D. Uniform (common) line identifiers and ratings
When referring to
transmission lines of an
interconnected network,
neighboring systems should
use:
A. Own line identifiers and
ratings
B. NERC line identifiers and
ratings
C. Region line identifiers
and ratings
D. Uniform (common) line
identifiers and ratings
C. First contingency conditions
To what level should a
control area maintain its own
reactive reserves?
A. 105% voltage level
B. 95% voltage level
C. First contingency
conditions
D. Second contingency
conditions
A. Manual
Which load shedding step
should be implemented first
(per Policy 6B)?
A. Manual
B. Underfrequency
C. Rate of voltage decay
D. Rate of frequency decay
