Active Power service Sample Clauses

Active Power service. The Active Power service relates to the active power generated from the participating DER unit. After receiving an instruction, it will need to be capable of responding by automatically ramping the active power generated up and/or down according to the DERMS instruction and within the plant limitations. This service is expected to manage transmission constraints and to support technical and commercial optimisation and dispatch. It will be exercised on the day in real-time depending on the cost compared to other options available to the System Operator. The provision of this service means that the plant should be ready to change its active power output upon an instruction from UK Power Networks via the DERMS. The plants response should be automatic and within its pre-defined limits and ramp rates.

Active Power service. To participate in the Active Power Service, DER must first complete a Mandatory Technical Trial. A fixed fee of £150/MWh will be paid for any MWh dispatched to validate the DER response to an active power set-point instruction before moving to competitive bidding. This will take place during the first 2 weeks2 of the trial during which each DER is expected to be available for one day for its individual testing during the time windows that are agreed with the project team (see Mandatory Technical Trials). During competitive bidding, DER payments will be made at the level of DER bids (‘pay-as-bid’), and there will be no availability payment for the active power service.
