The correct action that PJM takes during a terrorist attack or fuel delivery emergency is Conservative Operations. This approach is pivotal for ensuring system reliability and stability under crisis conditions.
Conservative Operations involves carefully managing the availability and dispatch of generating units, maintaining sufficient reserves, and taking preventive measures to mitigate risks associated with unexpected scenarios. This may include operating with a more cautious generation strategy, ensuring that critical assets are online and capable of responding efficiently to any sudden changes in supply or demand.
By implementing Conservative Operations, PJM can maintain system integrity, prioritize response measures, and ensure that the electricity grid remains functional even in the face of unprecedented threats or operational challenges. This strategy plays a crucial role in safeguarding public safety and preventing widespread outages in volatile situations.
