Performance Test Procedures. Buyer and Seller shall mutually develop Test Procedures to verify the Project’s ability to accept Charging Energy, deliver Product, and operate according to the Operational Limitations specified in Appendix II. Each Performance Test will be conducted in general accordance with applicable CAISO Tariff requirements [and as applicable: ASME and other applicable Performance Test Codes, depending on the technology, Products, and Operational Limitations], and in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsections (i) through (vi) below, including additional procedures and protocols related to Performance Testing as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller (“Test Procedures”). (i) If test results are adjusted for ambient conditions, meteorological equipment used for Performance Testing will include the same equipment as specified in Section 7.6. (ii) All measureable Product and Charging Energy during the Performance Test will be measured by the Electric Revenue Meter at the Electrical Delivery Point. (iii) At a minimum, the Performance Test will test for the Dmax, Cmax, Storage Energy, Cmax Duration, Dmax Duration, Tested Duration Energy, and Full Duty Cycle. (iv) Buyer may have a representative present at the Site at any time during a Performance Test, or alternatively, at Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide all necessary and requested test information to Buyer during the test without the need of a Buyer representative on Site. Buyer has the right to require Seller’s test engineer to be at the Site for the test. (v) Buyer may not request Performance Testing be conducted during a Scheduled Maintenance Outage, Forced Outage or other Outage, provided that Seller has Notified Buyer of such Outage in accordance with Appendix III. (vi) Seller shall prepare the Test Procedures based upon Appendix VI-2 and provide these to Buyer at least one-hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the Initial Delivery Date. The Parties shall finalize mutually acceptable Test Procedures at least thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Performance Test. (vii) Following a Performance Test, Seller must deliver the Performance Test final results to Buyer no later than thirty (30) days after the completion of the Performance Test. Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Performance Test results, Buyer must respond to Seller to either (A) accept those the results or (B) specify the reasons why the results cannot be accepted as submitted. If Buyer does not accept those results, then Seller must provide revised results within ten (10) Business Days (the “Test Results Cycle”) following receipt of Notice from Buyer that the results were not accepted. The Parties will continue the Test Results Cycle procedures until the earlier of (A) Buyer accepts the Performance Test results or (B) sixty (60) days from the date of completion of the Performance Test.

Performance Test Procedures. Buyer and Seller shall mutually develop Test Procedures to verify the Project’s ability to accept Charging Energy, deliver Product, and operate according to the Operational Limitations specified in Appendix II. Each Performance Test will be conducted in general accordance with applicable CAISO Tariff requirements [and as applicable: ASME and other applicable Performance Test Codestest codes, depending on the technology, Products, and Operational Limitations], and in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsections (i) through (vi) below, including additional procedures and protocols related to Performance Testing as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller (“Test Procedures”). Buyer and Seller shall mutually develop Test Procedures for a Performance Test. Seller shall prepare proposed Test Procedures based upon Appendix VI-2 and provide these to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval at least one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the Initial Delivery Date. The Parties shall finalize mutually acceptable Test Procedures at least thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Performance Test. Buyer and Seller shall mutually develop any changes to the Test Procedures. Seller shall provide such changes to Test Procedures for Buyer review and approval prior to implementation of such changes.
(i) If test results are adjusted for ambient conditions, meteorological equipment used for Performance Testing will include the same equipment as specified in Section 7.6.
(ii) All measureable Product and Product, Charging Energy Energy, and, as applicable, Integral Station Use during the Performance Test will be measured by the Electric Revenue Meter at Meter. The operating conditions of the Electrical Delivery PointProject, including the bulk temperature of storage elements and the State of Charge, shall be controlled and measured in the same manner during Performance Tests as during Scheduled Operations, unless otherwise agreed to in the Test Procedures.
(ii) The Party requesting the Performance Test will specify the Project attributes that will be tested in each Performance Test, including the Tested Duration Energy, Tested Full Duty Cycle Efficiency and/or other Operational Limitations.
(iii) At Buyer must provide notification of no less than fifteen (15) minutes for a minimumPerformance Test. Upon Notice of no less than twenty-four (24) hours, the Performance Test will test for the Dmax, Cmax, Storage Energy, Cmax Duration, Dmax Duration, Tested Duration Energy, and Full Duty Cycle.
(iv) Buyer may have a representative present at the Site Site, and Buyer may require Seller’s test engineer to be at the Site, at any time during a Performance Test, or alternatively, at . At Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide all necessary and requested test information to Buyer during the test without the need of a Buyer representative on Site. Buyer has the right to require Seller’s test engineer to be at the Site for the test.
(viv) Buyer may not request Performance Testing be conducted during a Scheduled Maintenance Outage, Forced Outage or other Outage, provided that Seller has Notified Buyer of such Outage in accordance with Appendix III.
