Common use of Startup Clause in Contracts

Startup. When the Large Generating Facility is off-line, in a standby or in ready to start mode, station power will be supplied via backfeed through selected feeder 34127 or 34129 (or feeder 34126, if both feeders 34127 and 34129 are not available) as indicated in the previous item i. Station Power. Upon receipt of a dispatch instruction, electrical loads of the Large Generating Facility will continue to be supplied via backfeed until the unit achieves Full Speed No Load (“FSNL”), synchronizes the generator to the system across the generator circuit breaker (“GCB”), closes the GCB and picks up an initial load increment. Following closure of the GCB, the open 138 kV GSU breakers associated with feeder 34127 or 34129 will be closed while the 138 kV GSU breaker associated with feeder 34126 is still open. After the 138 kV GSU breakers associated with feeders 34127 and 34129 are closed and the GCB is closed, the open 138 kV GSU breaker associated with feeder 34126 will be closed as well. Then the unit will be loaded to the selected output. If any one of feeders 34126, 34127 or 34129 is unavailable, the selected output will not exceed 390 MW. If neither of two feeders 34127 and 34129 is available and the station power is delivered via backfeed from Astoria East Substation through feeder 34126 (with 138 kV GSU breakers associated with feeders 34127 and 34129 open), the unit achieves FSNL, synchronizes the generator to the system across the GCB, closes the GCB and picks up an initial load increment. Then the unit will be loaded to the selected output that will not exceed 195 MW. If one or both of feeders 34127 and 34129 become available later, their respective 138 kV GSU breakers will be closed and Large Generating Facility output may be increased to a maximum of 390 MW for any two feeders in service, or to the maximum MW output of the Large Generating Facility for all three feeders in service.

Then the unit will be loaded to the selected output that will not exceed 195 191.3 MW.
