Assuming the initial frequency is 60 HZ and no initial net interchange error, use the following data to answer the next question.

Frequency bias = -50 MW/0.1 HZ

Scheduled frequency = 60 HZ

Actual frequency = 59.90 HZ

Scheduled interchange = -1000 MW

Actual interchange = -1100 MW

Given this data, the ACE value for the Control Area (assuming governor response has occurred) is:

a)

A) -100 MW

b)

B) -150 MW

c)

C) 0 MW

d)

D) -50 MW

97.

Assuming the initial frequency is 60 HZ and no initial net interchange error, use the following data to answer the next question.

Frequency bias = -50 MW/0.1 HZ

Scheduled frequency = 60 HZ

Actual frequency = 59.90 HZ

Scheduled interchange = -1000 MW

Actual interchange = -1100 MW

B) -150 MW

c)

C) 0 MW

d)

D) -50 MW

98.
