At what torque angle of operation does power typically begin to flow from the generator to the system? A) 90 degrees B) 60 degrees C) 30 degrees D) 10 degrees correct answer: 10 degrees Choose the answer that best describes the operation of a rotor. A) The stationary part of the transmission system. B) A type of superconductor. C) The stationary element of a generator that has its windings connected to the system. D) The excited (energized) field winding that rotates inside the...

A misoperation occurred when an overhead ground wire on a 230KV transmission line between two substations broke and fell across A phase of the line. One of the line circuit breakers failed to open causing the breaker failure relay to pick up and as a result tripped the entire substation bus off line that the failed circuit breaker was feeding off of. Who is charged with the responsibility to develop procedures to ensure misoperations are reviewed and analyzed to determine proper mitigation plans...

component of an electrical power system that can function as a motor or as a VAR generator is called a: correct answer: Synchronous condenser What are examples of measuring devices in system protection? correct answer: Current transformers, potential transformers, coupling capacitance voltage transformers. If the load on a three phase system is balanced equally among the phases, how much current will flow on the neutral point? correct answer: neutral current will be zero What are the...

If a Balancing Authority does not comply with the Control Performance Standard, the Balancing Authority is not permitted to provide which of the following for any other Balancing Authority entities? correct answer: Regulation of other services related to control performance 1. It is the obligation of each Balancing Authority to fulfill its commitment to the Interconnection and not ________ the other balancing Authorities in the Interconnection correct answer: Burden A Balancing Authority...

What percentage of load gives a 1 Hz change in an island condition? correct answer: 6-10% (Think 6-10 day island vacation) If ACE is Zero but system Hz is off, what should a system operator do? correct answer: Nothing! ACE bias and interchange schedule will improve frequency If ACE is Zero, why not adjust generation to help frequency? correct answer: Could overload equipment, this is a NERC violation When restoring from blackout condition, what should be done with load? correct answe...
