Read the first 6 NERC Emergency Preparedness and Response flashcards as text

  1. Which NERC standard requires Balancing Authorities and Transmission Operators to have emergency operations plans?

    Answer: EOP-001

    EOP-001 requires Balancing Authorities and Transmission Operators to have plans for managing operations during emergencies, including personnel and communication protocols.

  2. NERC EOP-005 governs which critical grid restoration capability?

    Answer: System restoration plans including black start capability

    EOP-005 requires transmission operators and balancing authorities to have system restoration plans and verify black start resource capability.

  3. What is a 'Black Start' resource in the context of NERC EOP-005?

    Answer: A generating unit capable of starting without an external power source to help restore the grid

    A black start resource can energize transmission lines and pick up load without requiring external power, enabling grid restoration after a blackout.

  4. Under NERC EOP-006, what coordination is required during a wide-area disturbance?

    Answer: Reliability Coordinators must coordinate with each other during system restoration

    EOP-006 requires Reliability Coordinators to have procedures for coordinating system restoration across their areas and with neighboring RCs.

  5. NERC's 'Under-Frequency Load Shedding' (UFLS) program is designed to:

    Answer: Automatically disconnect controlled amounts of load when system frequency drops dangerously low

    UFLS automatically sheds load in controlled blocks when frequency drops below set thresholds, preventing a total system collapse.

  6. Which NERC standard addresses under-voltage load shedding (UVLS) requirements?

    Answer: PRC-010

    PRC-010 requires transmission planners and planning coordinators to ensure UVLS schemes are coordinated and effective in preventing voltage collapse.
