Quiz Questions

1. The general geographic location of transmission studies in sample is illustrated in ______________ .
Figure 1

2. The frameworks used to evaluate transmission investments can be classified into two categories-

Congestion focused- Transmission investments are made to economically reduce congestion costs that would be incurred with the addition of new generation & Deliverability focused-Transmission investments are made to increase the transmission capacity between generators and load under particular system conditions.
True
