Answer each one before you open the explanation. On the exam there's no explanation, and you have about 77 seconds a question on RC and BT, 90 on TO and BI.
NERC Reliability Standard IRO-014-3 requires each Reliability Coordinator's coordination documents with adjacent Reliability Coordinator Areas to cover the exchange of
- A. hourly energy billing statements
- B. generator fuel supply contract terms
- C. planned and unplanned outage information
- D. retail customer metering and billing records
Show the answer
Answer C planned and unplanned outage information
Part 1.4 of Requirement R1 lists the exchange of information including planned and unplanned outage information to support Operational Planning Analyses and Real-time Assessments. The other items are commercial or retail data that have no bearing on an adjacent Reliability Coordinator's studies.
Reference: IRO-014-3 R1 Part 1.4
A Reliability Coordinator issues an Operating Instruction to postpone a Transmission outage, but the crew is already inside the equipment and the line cannot be safely returned. What must the Transmission Operator do?
- A. Return the line to service anyway, since the instruction is mandatory
- B. Refer the instruction to its Planning Coordinator for a ruling
- C. Log the conflict and raise it at the next shift turnover
- D. Inform its Reliability Coordinator that it cannot perform the instruction
Show the answer
Answer D Inform its Reliability Coordinator that it cannot perform the instruction
Requirement R2 requires compliance with a Reliability Coordinator's Operating Instruction unless it cannot be physically implemented or would violate safety, equipment, regulatory or statutory requirements, and Requirement R3 requires the entity to inform its Reliability Coordinator of that inability. The Reliability Coordinator can only build an alternative plan if it is told promptly.
