PJM TEST 2026/2027
ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS.
What are some GENERAL actions PJM might take when
initiating Conservative Ops? (2)
purchase / load additional reserves
raise IROL Transfer limits
cancel all SOS conference calls
begin studying double contingencies - correct answer-purchase
/ load additional reserves & begin studying double
contingencies
(can also LOWER IROL and INCREASE number of SOS calls)
,The purpose of the Heavy Load Voltage Schedule Action is to
increase reactive reserves on: - correct answer-The EHV
System
Under the national Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) there are
2 types of alerts: - correct answer-Elevated Threat and
Imminent Threat Alert
The following would be considered non-critical plant load:
a. lighting
b. office area a/c
c. induction fans
d. feed water pumps - correct answer-lighting and office area
a/c
What is the purpose of a capacity emergency warning?
a. to inform NERC of expected RTO status for a future failure
,b. to keep Members informed of actual capacity shortages or
contingencies that may jeopardize reliability during RT ops
c. to ask Members to take specific actions in order to provide
relief to the PJM system
d. to keep all affected system personnel aware of the forecast
and/or actual status of the PJM RTO - correct answer-to keep
Members informed of actual capacity shortages or
contingencies that may jeopardize reliability during RT ops AND
to keep all affected system personnel aware of the forecast
and/or actual status of the PJM RTO
Which of the following steps would PJM take as part of initiating
Conservative Ops?
a. Initiate additional off-cost operations to limit or reduce flows
across critical interfaces
b. implement a 5% Voltage Reduction across the entire RTO to
correct high system voltages
c. declare an Energy Emergency Alert Level 5 (EEA5) with
FERC/NERC
, d. Perform job studies looking at the loss of multiple pieces of
equipment as a single event - correct answer-Initiate additional
off-cost operations to limit or reduce flows across critical
interfaces AND Perform job studies looking at the loss of
multiple pieces of equipment as a single event.
Actions in a Low Voltage Alert include:
a. implement 4 hrs prior to Heavy Load Voltage Schedule
Action
b. review transmission and generation outages
c. consider changing Reactive Transfer back-off limit from 300
MW to 50 MW for tighter control
d. request a Reactive Reserve Check - correct answer-review
transmission and generation outages & request a Reactive
Reserve Check
The purpose of the Heavy Load Voltage Schedule Warning is to
have members prepare for maximum support of voltages on the
: - correct answer-Bulk Power System
