back within limits?
a. Reduce load in Balancing Area B
b. Reduce load in Balancing Area A
c. Raise generation in Balancing Area B
d. Raise generation equally in Balancing Areas A and B -
ANSWER-b. Reduce load in Balancing Area A

discovering that due to the combination of forced and
planned outages, thermal overloads are experienced in
the northern part of the system?
a. Request emergency assistance from the Reliability
Coordinator
b. Shed load in the northern area

transmission outages?
a. To mitigate real-time contingency analysis failures
b. To create tasks for the Reliability Coordinator
c. To ensure transmission system security

Operator is required to have which of the following to
address the loss of communication facilities?
a. Written operating instructions

102. How does MVAR flow typically occur on the system?
a. Downhill based on power angle
b. Uphill based on power angle
c. Downhill based on voltage
d. Uphill based on voltage - ANSWER-c. Downhill based
on voltage
103. If a transmission line is loaded below its surge
impedance loading (SIL) level, it will do which of the
following?
a. Increase inductance
b. Absorbs MVAR
c. Supply MVAR
d. Reduce voltage - ANSWER-c. Supply MVAR
104. Two parallel transmission lines are both rated for 450
MVA and are currently loaded at 320 MVA each. If one of
the lines trip, it will cause the other line to be loaded above
its rating by more than 150 MVA. What should you do if
you receive notification that due to a system emergency
one of the lines must come out of service?
, 4|Page
a. Delay the outage until generation can be started
b. Re-dispatch available generation and remove the line
from service
c. Take the line out and dump 150 MVA of load
d. Wait until the line trips out of service - ANSWER-b. Re-
dispatch available generation and remove the line from
service
105. Your system is operating on a hot summer day with
near record loads when you receive a report of impending
thunderstorms and heavy rain. What is the expected
impact on the system load?
a. System MVAR load would drop
b. System load should not change
c. System load should increase
d. System load should decrease - ANSWER-d. System
load should decrease
106. If a transmission line is carrying 200 MW and a
transaction is started for 150 MW in the same direction
that has a distribution factor of .5 on the line, what will the
flow be on the line after the transaction is ramped?
