Question 1

Ace Equation

Answer 1

(NIA-NIS)-10xBx (FS-FA)-IME

Question 2

CPS 1- control performance standard

Answer 2

must be 100% or greater- distribution of all BAs Ace in an Interconnection and based on expected freqency performance within the indiviual interconnection. Statistical measure of ace variability. Measures ace in combonation with frequency error

Question 3

CPS 2- control performance standard

Answer 3

90% or greater- limits the magnitude of the impact at a BA places on the transmission resources in its interconnection. Designed to limit the BA’s unscheduled Power Flows. To protect the tie lines.

Question 4

CPS 1 - control performance standard

Answer 4

can be viewed as a measure of whether a BA is maintaining enough Regulating Reserves

Question 5

CPS 2 control performance standard

Answer 5

can be viewed as whether a BA is maintaining enough operating reserves

Question 6

DCS control performance

Answer 6

measure a BA or RSG is maintaning enough Contingency Reserves

Question 7

CPS 1 & CPS 2

Answer 7

report compliance to Nerc on monthly basis & must be in compliance with the CPS during both normal and disturbance conditions

Question 8

DCS

Answer 8

You can report compliance to the DCS as a BA or RSG.

Question 9

DCS

Answer 9

Entities must be able to recover from their single most severe contigency.

Question 10

DCS

Answer 10

A BA is responsible for recovering from a reportable disturbance within 15 minutes and contingency reserves must be back in 90 minutes. unless combined magnitude is greater than single most severe contingency.

Question 11

DCS

Answer 11

REPORTED TO NERC QUARTLEY - 4X A YEAR

Question 12

FREQUENCY

Answer 12

60HZ

Question 13

BIAS

Answer 13

SHALL BE SET CLOSE TO BA’S FREQUENCY RESPONSE CHARACTERISTIC

Question 14

WECC

Answer 14

OPERATES IN BIAS TIE LINE MODE

Question 15

BIAS

Answer 15

REVIEWED ONCE A YEAR - SET AT 1% OF ESTIMATED PEAK LOAD OR 1% OF ESTIMATED GENERATION LOAD

Question 16

NAESB STANDARD

Answer 16

MANUAL TIME ERROR CORRECTION - ONE TIME MONITOR PER INTERCONNECTION- THE RC ACTS AS THE MONITOR.

Question 17

FREQUENCY

Answer 17

SCHEDULED FREQUENCY IS THE TARGET OR DESIRED FREQUENCY

Question 18

AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL-AGC

Answer 18

EQUIPMENT THAT AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST GENERATION IN A BA AREA FROM A LOCATION TO MAINTAIN THE BA’S FREQUENCY- USE MANUAL IF IT BECOMES IN-OPERATIVE

Question 19

SCHEDULED FREQUENCY

Answer 19

59.98, 60.00 or 60.02

Question 20

ace

Answer 20

should be at zero

Question 21

ace

Answer 21

if BA is unable to calculate ace for more than 30 minutes notify RC. data scan every 6 seconds.

Question 22

metering errors

Answer 22

lead to inadvertent

Question 23

inadvertent interchange

Answer 23

paid back during peak - 0700 to 2200

eastern - central, ercot 0800-2200 & western 0700-2200 pacific.

Question 24

inadvertents

Answer 24

are calculated and recorded every hour

Question 25

ba’s

Answer 25

submit montly summary report of inadvertants, by the 15th calandar day of the following month to the RRO REP then it is submitted by rro to nerc by the 22nd calander day. if a ba does not report by the 20th day of the month they are non complaint.
