A Balancing Authority has a normal load of around 8500 MW . Its most severe single contingency is a 700 MW coal - fired steam unit . At 0810 , the ACE value was at -55 MW when a 600 MW generator in the Balancing Authority's northern area tripped off line due to a generator differential . This event resulted in a large negative ACE for the Balancing Authority . What value must ACE return to and in what time frame to avoid a DCS violation? • Zero ACE in 15 minutes • 55 MW ACE in 10 minutes • Zero ACE in 10 minutes • -55 MW ACE in 15 minutes {Ans: • -55 MW ACE in 15 minutes}Are all organizations officially registered as entities , such as Balancing Authorities , Transmission Operators , Generating Operators , and Reliability Coordinators , subject to the compliance process? •Yes •No •Depends on location •Depends on enforced guidelines {Ans: •Yes}In 1967 , the US Federal Power Commission published a report recommending the establishment of " A council on power coordination made up of representatives from each of the nation's regional coordination organizations to exchange and disseminate information on regional coordinating
