Interconnection Customer Operational Requirements Sample Clauses

The Interconnection Customer Operational Requirements clause defines the obligations and standards that an interconnection customer must meet to operate their facility in coordination with the utility or transmission provider. This typically includes requirements for communication protocols, data sharing, maintenance schedules, and compliance with operational instructions to ensure safe and reliable grid integration. By establishing these operational expectations, the clause helps prevent disruptions, ensures system reliability, and clarifies the customer's responsibilities in ongoing operations.
Interconnection Customer Operational Requirements. (a) Pursuant to Article 1.5.2 of the SGIA, the Interconnection Customer shall operate the Small Generating Facility and the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities in accordance with the CAISO Tariff; NERC and the Applicable Reliability Council requirements; and Applicable Reliability Standards. (b) The Small Generating Facility shall be operated so as to prevent or protect against the following adverse conditions on the Participating TO’s electric system: inadvertent and unwanted re-energizing of a utility dead line or bus; interconnection while out of synchronization; overcurrent; voltage imbalance; ground faults; generated alternating current frequency outside permitted safe limits; power factor or reactive power outside permitted limits; and abnormal waveforms. (c) The Parties agree that the Interconnection Customer shall not hold the Participating TO liable for damage to any Small Generating Facility turbines that may be caused due to sympathetic generation tripping associated with the Interconnection Customer’s induction turbine design. (d) Neither Party’s facilities shall cause excessive voltage flicker nor introduce excessive distortion to the sinusoidal voltage or current waves as defined by ANSI Standard C84.1-1989, in accordance with IEEE Standard 519, or any applicable superseding electric industry standard or any alternative Applicable Reliability Standard or applicable reliability council standard. In the event of a conflict among ANSI Standard C84.1-1989, or any applicable superseding electric industry standard, or any alternative Applicable Reliability Standard or applicable reliability council standard, the alternative Applicable Reliability Standard or applicable reliability council standard shall control.

Interconnection Customer Operational Requirements. (a) The Interconnection Customer shall control the Generating Facility’s output ramp rate so as to prevent adverse voltage conditions on the Distribution System. Such ramp rate control shall be in accordance with parameters, which may be modified from time to time by the Distribution Provider, set forth by the Distribution Provider and provided to the Interconnection Customer within thirty (30) Calendar Days following the Distribution Provider’s completion of final engineering for the Distribution Provider’s Interconnection Facilities, Distribution Upgrades, and Network Upgrades, as applicable. (b) The Generating Facility will be required to operate within a 0.95 leading (boost) to 0.95 lagging (buck) power factor in accordance with Article 9.6.1.2 of the GIA. Under real- time operations, it is anticipated the Generating Facility will be required to operate as shown in the figure below. The actual values of the Vmin and Vmax will be provided by the Distribution Provider once final engineering and design is completed. (c) The Interconnection Customer shall cause the Generating Facility to participate in any RAS required to prevent thermal overloads and unstable conditions resulting from outages. Such participation shall be in accordance with applicable FERC regulations, and ISO Tariff provisions and protocols. In accordance with Good Utility Practice, the Distribution Provider will provide the Interconnection Customer advance notice of any required RAS beyond that which has already been identified in the interconnection studies and this GIA. (d) Following outages of the Interconnection Facilities or the Generating Facility, the Interconnection Customer shall not energize the Generating Facility or Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities for any reason without specific permission from the Distribution Provider’s operations personnel. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. (e) The Interconnection Customer shall maintain operating communications with the Distribution Provider’s designated switching center. The operating communications shall include, but not be limited to, system parallel operation or separation, scheduled and unscheduled outages, equipment clearances, protective relay operations, and levels of operating voltage and reactive power. (f) The Interconnection Customer has elected for the Generating Facility to have Energy- Only Deliverability Status. Any change in the deliverability status of the Generating Facility shall...

Interconnection Customer Operational Requirements. (a) Pursuant to Article 9.4 of the GIA, the Interconnection Customer shall operate the Generating Facility and the Interconnection Customer’s Interconnection Facilities in accordance with the ISO Tariff; the Applicable Reliability Council requirements; and Applicable Reliability Standards. (b) The Generating Facility shall be operated so as to prevent or protect against the following adverse conditions on the Distribution Provider’s electric system: inadvertent and unwanted re-energizing of a utility dead line or bus; interconnection while out of synchronization; overcurrent; voltage imbalance; ground faults; generated alternating current frequency outside permitted safe limits; power factor or reactive power outside permitted limits; and abnormal waveforms. (c) The Parties agree that the Interconnection Customer shall not hold the Distribution Provider liable for damage to the Generating Facility that may be caused due to sympathetic generation tripping associated with the Interconnection Customer’s Generating Facility design. (d) The Interconnection Customer shall not commence initial parallel operation of an Electric Generating Unit with the Distribution System until the Distribution Provider provides prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, for operation of such Electric Generating Unit.
