SOS NERC Prep - RElIABILITY Exam Questions and Correct Answers The Reliability Coordinator just informed you of a slow time error correction which will begin at the top of the next hour. Your EMS system will not let you change your scheduled frequency. Your Frequency Bias Setting is -100 MW/.1Hz. What action should you take? A) Increase Net Interchange Schedule by 20 MWs. B) Inform the Reliability Coordinator that you cannot participate in the time error correction. C) Decrease Net Interchange Schedule by 20 MWs. D) Increase Net Interchange Schedule by 10 MWs. - Correct Answer: A) Increase Net Interchange Schedule by 20 MWs. A Balancing Authority has a sudden loss of a large block of load in its area. This loss will be seen instantaneously in the change of which of the following values? 1. Actual Net Interchange 2. Scheduled Frequency 3. Scheduled Net Interchange 4. Area Control Error A) 4 only B) 1 & 3 C) 1 & 4 D) 3 & 4 - Correct Answer: C) 1 & 4 Metered Data included in the calculation of ACE are: dynamic schedules, pseudo ties, actual frequency, and all __________. A) Tie lines readings B) Generators output C) Scheduled frequency indications D) Transformer load - Correct Answer: A) Tie lines readings Balancing Authority A is currently reading a system frequency of 60.00 Hz. Its Net Actual Interchange is +100 MW and its Net Scheduled Interchange is +200 MW. If Balancing Authority A's frequency bias setting is 100 MW/0.1 Hz, what is ACE? A) -100 B) 0 C) 10 D) 100 - Correct Answer: A) -100 A Balancing Authority has a Net Interchange Schedule of -250 MWs from 1200 to 1600 on a summer day. The Net Interchange Actual for those same hours respectively were -230 MW, -275 MW, -250 MW and -270 MW. What was the Balancing Authority's Inadvertent Interchange for the 4-hour period? A) 6 MWs out B) 25 MWs in C) 25 MWs out D) 6 MWs in - Correct Answer: B) 25 MWs in For the ACE equation to work properly, dynamic schedules, pseudo ties, frequency, and all ________________ must be metered. A) Generation B) Communications C) Transformers D) Tie lines - Correct Answer: D) Tie lines
