Master Coordinator To correct for a slow or fast clock, system frequency schedules are offset by: +/-.02 Hz What frequency would PJM set to correct for fast-time error? 59.98Hz What frequency would PJM set to correct for slow-time error? 60.02Hz What info is on an instantaneous reserve check? synchronized (regulating and non-regulating), quick start, secondary and beyond secondary reserves Generators must provide PJM with a realistic Reactive Capability Curve. This curve must have no less than __ points, and no more than __ points. No less than 2 and no more than 8 points A classic indicator of voltage instability is when system voltages change greatly when... system loads change by a small amount Above the line of a D-curve... Lagging (pushing VARs). Generators will be set there during high-load/low voltage conditions. Below the line of a D-curve... Leading (absorbing VARs). Generators will be set there during low load/high voltage conditions. MWs and MVARs have what kind of relationship? Inverse (increase in MW = decrease in MVARs) How often do generators need to test reactive power capability? Every 5 years The computer hardware and software at each control center shall achieve an availability level of what for those reliability functions directly affect the successful operation of PJM? 99.95% What is EHV? Extra high voltage. Classified as 345kv and above Any generator that is a PJM generation capacity resource that has an RPM Resource Commitment: 1.
