Which type of relay operates on the premise of comparing the flow in and out of the area of protection? - Correct Answer-Differential relay Underfrequency load shedding is set-up so that which of the following does NOT occur? - Correct Answer-Uncontrolled separation Who is responsible to make sure that the operation of voltage control equipment is coordinated with other impacted entities? - Correct Answer-Transmission Operator The coordination of voltage schedules by system operators would be utilized to reduce all of the following EXCEPT - Correct Answer-Reactive inadvertent What should a system operator expect to see if the generator increases its excitation? - Correct Answer-An increase in MVAR output A transmission line between Bus A and Bus B has MW flow from Bus B to Bus A. After the tripping of a parallel line, the line flow from Bus B to Bus A exceeds the lines thermal rating. Which of the following actions would assist the operator in correcting the problem? - Correct Answer-Increase generation at Bus A What is a major concern for a System Operator during emergency conditions? - Correct Answer-System remains connected to the Interconnection If your system has lost a large amount of customer load due to a system disturbance, but has remained connected to all of your neighbors, what is the best solution to consider? - Correct Answer-Coordinate with the neighbors You report for work on a peak summer day with expected high temperatures and load. What can you do to maintain an adequate system voltage profile? - Correct
Answer-Get under the voltage by placing capacitors in service while maintaining operating limits If a Balancing Authority is unable to calculate ACE for more than _________ minutes it shall notify its Reliability Coordinator. - Correct Answer- Your system configuration presents you with a situation of having two parallel lines between two stations. The lines have different ratings. Line A has a rating of 250 MVA, while line B has a rating of 200 MVA. Based on the line ratings, what is the first contingency transfer capability between the two stations? - Correct Answer- MVA
