What must occur if the issue regarding the AVR status change is resolved within the specified time frame?

The correct response is that the GOP (Generator Operator) is not authorized to report the change regarding the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) status if the issue is resolved within the specified time frame. This aligns with the protocol that governs how and when changes in system statuses should be communicated among stakeholders in the electric power sector.

In situations where AVR status changes occur, the focus is on ensuring the integrity and reliability of the electrical grid. If a resolution happens quickly and is within the allowed parameters, it suggests that the issue was transient or minor, not warranting formal reporting. This policy ensures that only significant or sustained changes are documented and communicated, which helps avoid unnecessary confusion or alarm in the operational context.

The role of different operators and entities is meticulously defined, and in this case, the GOP's responsibility is limited by the necessity of reporting only when warranted. This procedure helps maintain clarity and procedural correctness in managing real-time operations of the electric power system.
