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.
Demand and resource balance for a restored area is handed back to the Balancing Authority in accordance with
- A. criteria the Reliability Coordinator sets in its plan
- B. the schedule agreed with adjacent Balancing Authorities
- C. limits published in the Balancing Authority's own tariff
- D. timing chosen by the Generator Operators still on line
Show the answer
Answer A criteria the Reliability Coordinator sets in its plan
EOP-005-3 calls for Operating Processes to transfer operations back to the Balancing Authority in accordance with the Reliability Coordinator's criteria, and EOP-006-3 requires those criteria to be in the Reliability Coordinator's own restoration plan.
Reference: EOP-005-3 R1.9; EOP-006-3 R1.6
EOP-005-3 has a Transmission Operator implement its restoration plan until the shutdown area reaches a defined state. That state is reached when
- A. every Blackstart Resource used during the event has been returned to reserve
- B. the next Load to restore is no longer chosen to control frequency or voltage
- C. the last customer interrupted in the shutdown area has been returned to service
- D. each island in the area has been tied to at least one neighboring island
Show the answer
Answer B the next Load to restore is no longer chosen to control frequency or voltage
Requirement R1 describes the restoration as carried through to the point where the choice of the next Load to be restored is no longer driven by the need to control frequency or voltage. Full customer restoration is a separate matter that continues after that point.
Reference: EOP-005-3 R1
