General test conditions. Base Reference Conditions are listed in Tables 2-1 through 2-3. • The project design heat balances are provided in APPENDIX A. • The tests will be conducted in accordance with this document which is agreed upon by Gulf Power, Shell and Owner. Conflicts in test methods will be resolved using the following order of precedence. 1. Sections 1, 2, and 3 of this Exhibit 4.2 2. ASME PTC 46 • If test conditions differ from those indicated in Table 2-1, corrections will be calculated and applied to data in accordance with the methods outlined in Section 3.5. • All air, steam, water, and generator conditions which have an effect on the data collected for the determination of the corrected test results will be regulated as near as possible to the conditions indicated in the Project Heat Balances corresponding with the expected performance levels. OEM requirements for continuous and long-term operation, such as Steam Turbine inlet temperature and Combustion Turbine base load control curve, will not be exceeded. • The Plant will be operated from the control room with systems operating in automatic mode which are normally operated in automatic mode, and in a manner consistent with Prudent Generator Practices for continuous and long-term operation. • For conditions beyond the control of Owner, Shell or Gulf Power, reasonable efforts will be made to conduct the tests as close as possible to the Base Reference Conditions to minimize the magnitude of the applied correction factors, subject to the requirements of Part A of this Exhibit 4.2. • The HRSGs will be operated with zero HRSG blowdown. No corrections for blowdown will be applied. • Reasonable efforts will be made to conduct the tests with all Plant components in a clean and undamaged condition. • Evaporative coolers will be in service if ambient dry bulb temperature is 60° F or greater, and if the wet bulb depression is at least 10° F.
