In the event where test is unsuccessful, the Ancillary Service Provider shall submit a test report with details on the explanations/corrective actions/reasons of failure to the PSO. A re-test shall be conducted within 1 month from the date of last test. Separately, the Ancillary Service Provider shall conduct monthly routine test (without power supply from the grid) to demonstrate for each Black Start Generating Unit, listed under Contracted Ancillary Service Resource, the ability to start-up and maintain its rated frequency and voltage while on-load for at least 30 minutes. The Ancillary Service Provider shall notify the PSO no more than 24 hours before the start of the monthly routine test. For cancellation of a monthly routine test, the Ancillary Service Provider shall notify the PSO prior to the start of the test.
