Emergency plans are made for what three conditions? - CORRECT ANSWER:

Generating Capacity loss, Transmission System loss, Load Shedding plans

Events meeting event report threshold: - CORRECT ANSWER: Damage, destruction or physical threats physical threats to a facility, physical threats to a control center, public appeal for load reduction, system-wide voltage reduction >3%, manual or automatic firm 2 / 3
