Active Power Control Interface. (i) i. Seller shall provide and maintain in good working order all equipment, computers and software associated with the control system (the "Active Power Control Interface") necessary to interface the Facility active power controls with the Company System Operations Control Center for real power control of the Facility by the Company System Operator. The detailed design will be tailored to the specific resource type and configuration to achieve the functional requirements of the Facility. The Active Power Control Interface will be used to control the maximum level of the net real power export from the Facility when for load following, system balancing, and/or supplemental frequency control as required under this Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller). The implementation of Facility real power output will automatically adjust to a change in frequency in accordance with the Active Power Control Interface will allow Company System Operator to initiate the active power limiting, vary the level of limiting, and remove the limiting remotely from Company System Operations Control Center through control signals from Company's SCADA and EMS systemsfrequency response requirements provided in this Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller).
(ii) . Company shall review and provide prior written approval of the design for the Active Power Control Interface to ensure compatibility with Company's centralized control systemssystems and use of Facility available energy and storage capabilities. In order to To ensure such continued compatibility, Seller shall not materially change the approved design without Company's prior review and prior written approval. This will include design description and parameters for the Seller's control system(s), which determine provision of net real power in response to the Active Power Control signal or signals.
(iii) . The Active Power Control Interface shall include, but not be limited to, a demarcation cabinet, ancillary equipment and software necessary for Seller to connect to Company's RTU, or designated communications Telemetry and control interfaceControl, located in Company's portion of the Facility switching station which shall provide the control signals to the Facility and send feedback status to the Company System Operations Control Center. The control type shall be analog output (setpointset point) controlsor raise/lower controls and will be established by the Company prior to final design approval.
(iv) . The Active Power Control Interface shall also include provision for feedback points from the Facility indicating when active power limiting is target in effect and MW for the analog value of the MW limit(sActive Power Control signal(s). The Facility shall provide the MW target feedback to the Company SCADA system within 2 seconds of immediately upon receiving the respective control signal from the Company.
(v) v. Seller shall provide to the telemetry interface an analog signal analogs for the XX xxxxx gross production of each individual generating unit, and an analog signal for the energy resource(s) at the Facility. Seller shall also provide the total net AC MW production at the Point of Interconnection.
(vi) The Active Power Control Interface shall provide for remote control of the real-power output of the Facility by the Company at all times. If the Active Power Control Interface is unavailable or disabled, the Facility shall not export electric energy to Company, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, agrees to accept electric energy and Seller and Company agree on an alternate means of dispatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails to provide such remote control features (whether temporarily or throughout the Term) and fails to discontinue exporting electric energy to Company as required by this Section 1(g)(viPoint(s), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller), Company shall have the right to derate or disconnect the entire Facility during those periods that such control features are not provided. If all local and remote active power controls become unavailable or fail, the Facility shall immediately disconnect from the Company's System. If the direct transfer trip is unavailable due to loss of communication link, RTU failure, or other event resulting in the loss of the remote control by the Company, provision must be made for the Seller to curtail to zero at a controlled rate until such time as the direct transfer trip is restored.
(vii) The rate at which the Facility changes net real power export shall not exceed the ramp rate specified in Section 3(c) (Ramp Rate) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller). The Facility's Active Power Control Interface will control the rate at which electric energy is changed to achieve the active power limit. The Facility will respond to the active power control request immediately. [THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY BE CHANGED BY COMPANY FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE IRS]
(viii) The Active Power Control Interface shall accept the following active power control(s) from the Company centralized control systems: Maximum Power Limit: The Facility is not allowed to exceed this setting under any circumstances. The frequency response control specified in Section 3(m) (Frequency Response) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller) is not allowed to increase the Facility's net real power export above this limit. When the Maximum Power Limit is set to zero, the Facility's inverters must be shutdown. [Applicability subject to Company review].
