Basic Ramping Rates Clause Samples
The Basic Ramping Rates clause defines the permissible rate at which a party can increase or decrease the delivery or receipt of a commodity, such as electricity or gas, over a specified period. In practice, this clause sets clear limits on how quickly supply or demand can change, often expressed in units per hour, to ensure operational stability and predictability. By establishing these parameters, the clause helps prevent sudden fluctuations that could disrupt system reliability or create imbalances, thereby ensuring smoother operations and reducing the risk of disputes between parties.
Basic Ramping Rates. During periods when ramping can be controlled, Ramping 13 Rates shall apply to releases made from Canyon Dam and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam. Ramping 14 Rates shall be followed during releases made to provide Pulse Flows and recreation 15 river flows, and all other releases from Canyon Dam and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam that the 16 Licensee makes for operational purposes. Monthly changes in Minimum Streamflow 17 releases shall be made in a single step because the change is always less than the 18 Ramping Rate criterion. Licensee shall follow the Basic Ramping Rate as close as 19 reasonably practicable given gate and other operating limitations: 20
Basic Ramping Rates. During periods when ramping can be controlled, the following will be the initial Ramping Rates during the first three years after acceptance of the new license. These rates will be followed as close as reasonably practicable given radial gate operating limitations. Revision to these rates may occur as the result of the monitoring plan as provided under item F below. Water to accommodate future adjustments to Ramping Rates as applied to controlled Pulse Flow releases shall be made up from the total volume of water for such Pulse Flows, or Minimum River Flows. March, April and May - 250 cfs/hr. up-ramp and 150 cfs/hr. down-ramp June 1 - June 15 - 300 cfs/hr. up-ramp and 150 cfs/hr. down-ramp Remainder of the year - 400 cfs/hr. up-ramp and 150 cfs/hr. down-ramp
Basic Ramping Rates. During periods when ramping can be controlled, Ramping Rates shall apply to releases made from Canyon Dam and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam. Ramping Rates shall be followed during releases made to provide Pulse Flows and recreation river flows, and all other releases from Canyon Dam and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam that the Licensee makes for operational purposes. Monthly changes in Minimum Streamflow releases shall be made in a single step because the change is always less than the Ramping Rate criterion. Licensee shall follow the Basic Ramping Rate as close as reasonably practicable given gate and other operating limitations: Canyon Dam: 0.5 ft/hr up and down, in all months, as measured at NF-2; and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam: 0.5 ft/hr up and down, in all months, as measured at NF-70. Changes in Canyon Dam streamflow releases, because of gate size and other factors, may exceed the Ramping Rate in any particular hour, but Licensee shall make a Good Faith effort to return to the overall Basic Ramping Rate in the next and subsequent hours.
