Common use of Model Validation Clause in Contracts

Model Validation. All models provided to CEB for use in dynamic simulations shall be validated against site measurements. The Independent Engineer shall certify that the behaviour shown by the model under simulated conditions is representative of the behaviour of the Facility under equivalent conditions. For validation purposes, Facility Owner shall ensure that appropriate tests are performed and measurements are taken to assess the validity of the dynamic model. Facility Owner shall provide all available information showing how the predicted behaviour of the dynamic model to be verified with the actual observed behaviour of a prototype or similar PV modules/Inverter under laboratory conditions and / or actual observed behaviour of the real Facility as installed and connected to the CEB System. If the on-site measurements or other information provided indicate that the dynamic model is not valid in one or more respects, Facility Owner shall provide a revised model whose behaviour corresponds to the observed on-site behaviour as soon as reasonably practicable. The conditions validated should as far as possible be similar to those of interest, e.g. low short circuit level at Interconnection Boundary, large frequency and voltage excursions, primary resource variations.
