Maintenance outages are permitted when a unit can be held online until the following Monday,
and system reliability is not affected - Answer✔
If PJM ace shows over-generation, actual imports are less than scheduled. - Answer✔
PJM will request a Supplementary Status Report when a Maximum Generation Emergency Alert
is issued. - Answer✔
If a fossil steam unit has less than 32 hours of fuel at maximum capacity, it should be bid at
maximum emergency. - Answer✔
The loss of a large generation unit on the PJM system can be detected by monitoring frequency
and PJM ace. - Answer✔
A 1000 megawatt unit has tripped in the PJM control area and the PJM ace now indicates
under-generation of 1050 Megawatt. PJM should request 100% synchronized reserves be
loaded. - Answer✔
Alerts are issued in advance of a scheduled load period to allow sufficient time for the
generation dispatcher to prepare for the anticipated capacity shortages - Answer✔
The amount of synchronized reserves must be large enough to cover the loss of the largest
single energy contingency. - Answer✔
When preparing a supplementary status report (SSR), a steam unit that has 30 hours of fuel
remaining. This unit should be reported as a resource limited unit. - Answer✔
