Which of the following lists the Minimum Source requirements necessary before energizing an EHV facility?

  1. Reserve and Capacity requirement

  2. Reserve, Capacity, and Load requirement

  3. Capacity and Energy requirement

  4. Capacity, Load, and Energy requirement

The correct answer is: Capacity, Load, and Energy requirement

The correct choice identifies the Minimum Source requirements necessary before energizing an Extra High Voltage (EHV) facility as Capacity, Load, and Energy requirements. Understanding the significance of each component is essential. Capacity refers to the maximum output of an electrical system at a given time, which is crucial for ensuring that the facility can meet peak demands without risk of overload. Load represents the actual demand from consumers or connected systems, making it vital to assess what the facility is expected to supply. Energy encompasses the total amount of electricity that can be generated and delivered over a specified period, influencing the long-term viability and sustainability of power supply. In summary, considering all three factors—Capacity, Load, and Energy—provides a comprehensive overview essential for safe and effective operations of EHV facilities. Each of these requirements plays a critical role in determining the operational readiness and reliability of the facility prior to energization.
