Common use of Non-Synchronous Generation Clause in Contracts

Non-Synchronous Generation. Interconnection Customer shall design the Generating Facility to maintain a composite power delivery at continuous rated power output at the high-side of the generator substation, or equivalent location when there is not a generator substation, at a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, unless the Distribution Provider has established a different power factor range that applies to all non-synchronous generators in the Control Area on a comparable basis. This power factor range standard shall be dynamic and can be met using, for example, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors, or a combination of the two. This requirement shall only apply to newly interconnecting non-synchronous generators that have not yet submitted the initial posting of Interconnection Financial Security as of the effective date of the Final Rule establishing this requirement (Order No. 827).

Non-Synchronous Generation. The Interconnection Customer shall design the its Small Generating Facility to maintain a composite power delivery at continuous rated power output at the high-side of the generator substation, or equivalent location when there is not a generator substation, substation at a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, unless the Distribution Transmission Provider has established a different power factor range that applies to all similarly situated non-synchronous generators in the Control Area control area on a comparable basis. This power factor range standard shall be dynamic and can be met using, for example, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors, or a combination of the two. This requirement shall only apply to newly interconnecting non-synchronous generators that have not yet submitted the initial posting of Interconnection Financial Security executed a Facilities Study Agreement as of the effective date of the Final Rule establishing this requirement (Order No. 827).
