Common use of Power Factor Requirement Clause in Contracts

Power Factor Requirement. Consistent with Section 4.7 of Appendix 2 to this ISA, the power factor requirement is as follows: [For Generation Interconnection Customers] {The following language should be included for new large and small synchronous generation facilities that will have the Tariff specified power factor. This section does not apply if the Interconnection Request is for an incremental increase in generating capability.} The Interconnection Customer shall design its Customer Facility with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.90 lagging measured at the [generator’s terminals] [Point of Interconnection]. {For all wind or non-synchronous generation facilities which have entered the New Services Queue prior to May 1, 2015, include the appropriate alternative from the language below. This section does not apply if the Interconnection Request is for an incremental increase in generating capability.} The result of the System Impact Study ind icated that, for the safety and reliability of the Transmission System, no power factor requirement is required for the [wind-powered] [non-synchronous] Customer Facility. The results of the System Impact Study require that, for the safety or reliability of the Transmission System, the Generation Interconnection Customer shall design its [wind- powered] [non-synchronous] Customer Facility with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the Point of Interconnection. {include the following language if the Interconnection Request is for an incremental increase in capacity or energy output to a synchronized generation facility} The existing MW portion of the Customer Facility shall retain its existing ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.90 lagging measured at the [generator’s terminals] [Point of Interconnection]. The increase of MW to the Customer Facility associated with this ISA shall be designed with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 1.0 (unity) to 0.90 lagging measured at the [generator’s terminals] [Point of Interconnection]. {For new wind or non-synchronous generation facilities which have entered the New Service Queue on or after May 1, 2015, the following applies:} The Generation Interconnection Customer shall design its [wind-powered] [non- synchronous] Customer Facility with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the generator’s terminals. {For all wind or non-synchronous generation facilities that have entered the New Services Queue prior to May 1, 2015, include the appropriate alternative from the language below for Interconnection Requests for an incremental increase in capacity or energy output to all wind or non- synchronized generation facility.} The results of the System Impact Study indicate that, for the safety or reliability of the Transmission System, no power factor requirement is necessary for the [existing MW or the increase of MW associated with this ISA] [increase of MW associated with this ISA, but that the existing MW of the Customer Facility must retain its ability to retain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the Point of Interconnection] [existing MW of the Customer Facility but that the increase of MW associated with this ISA must be designed with the ability to maintain a power factor requirement of 1.0 (unity) to 0.90 lagging measured at the Point of Interconnection. The results of the System Impact Study indicate that, for the safety or reliability of the Transmission System, (i) the existing MW portion of the Customer Facility shall retain its existing ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the Point of Interconnection and (ii) the increase of MW to the Customer Facility associated with this ISA shall be designed with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 1.0 (unity) to 0.95 lagging measured at the Point of Interconnection. {For all wind or non-synchronous generation facilities requesting an incremental increase in capacity or energy output which have entered the New Services Queue on or after May 1, 2015, include the following requirements:} {NOTE: This section does not apply to requests for an incremental increase in capacity or energy output for wind or non-synchronous generation facilities which were commercially operable or had entered the New Services Queue prior to May 1, 2015.} The existing [wind-powered] [non-synchronous] MW portion of the Customer Facility shall retain the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the generator’s terminals. The increase of MW to the [wind-powered] [non-synchronous] Customer Facility associated with this ISA shall be designed with the ability to maintain a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging measured at the generator’s terminals. [For Transmission Interconnection Customers] {The following language should be included only for new Merchant Transmission Facilities} Transmission Interconnection Customer shall design its Merchant D.C. Transmission Facilities and/ or Controllable A.C. Merchant Transmission Facilities, to maintain a power factor at the Point of Interconnection of at least 0.95 leading and 0.95 lagging, when such Customer Facility is operating at any level within its approved operating range. [Include section 12A.0 only when applicable, i.e., only for a facility for which Transmission Provider and Interconnected Transmission Owner deem an RTU (or equivalent) to be unnecessary] 12A.0 RTU. In accordance with Section 8.5.2 of Appendix 2 to this ISA, that provision’s requirement for installation of a remote terminal unit or equivalent data collection and transfer equipment is hereby waived for purposes of this ISA.
