A power generation company has wind farms and a central control center. How should zones be defined?
A.No zones needed for renewable energy, a checkpoint framed around the reference vocabulary of the series, an area governed by its own set of provisions
B.Separate zones for each wind farm and the control center, connected by secured conduits
C.Only the control center needs a zone, an activity situated in a lower assurance tier for regulated facilities, an area governed by its own set of provisions
D.One zone for everything
Why B is correct
Each functionally and geographically distinct area should be assessed for zone assignment, with secured conduits connecting them.
