Capacity Test Procedures Sample Clauses
Capacity Test Procedures. Each Capacity Test shall be conducted in general accordance with ASME Performance Test Code 46 for Combined Cycle facilities, ASME Performance Test Code 22 for simple cycle Gas Turbine facilities and ASME Performance Test Code 17 for Recprocating Internal Combustion Engine facilities and in accordance with the following procedures (“Test Procedures”): [For other types of Units, other testing procedures Buyer may specify other standards.]
(i) The Capacity Test shall consist of three (3) one-hour test periods. For each one-hour test period, the data will be averaged and corrected back to ISO Conditions as well as Peak July Conditions if the test was conducted during a Summer Month. The Capacity of the Units will be the arithmetic average of the three corrected test results.
(ii) The Units shall be operated [with all combustion turbines operating simultaneously at Base Load and also with duct firing (“Peak Load”), as applicable]. The Units shall be operating in steady state with all equipment in normal operating service. [For facilities other than combined cycle technology, substitute “simultaneous and individually” for the bracketed language. Facilities that have multiple operating modes may be subject to additional testing requirements as necessary to test the full range of capability of the Units.]
(iii) The Energy output of the Units during the Capacity Test shall be measured by the Electric Revenue Meter at the Electrical Delivery Point.
(iv) The Capacity of a Unit as demonstrated by a Capacity Test (“Tested Capacity”) shall be the metered Energy output of such Unit per hour (measured in megawatts), adjusted to (A) ISO Conditions if the Capacity Test occurs in a Non-Summer Month and (B) Peak July Conditions if the Capacity Test occurs in a Summer Month, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), by using standard and accepted engineering methods. The determination of the Tested Capacity shall be done by Seller. The Capacity Test results shall be delivered to Buyer no later than 48 hours after the completion of the Capacity Test.
(v) Buyer may have a representative present at the Site at any time during the Capacity Test.
(vi) Capacity Testing shall be conducted contiguously with the testing required pursuant to Section 4.2.
(vii) The Parties shall provide for additional procedures and protocols related to Capacity Testing, consistent with the principles set forth above, in the Operating Procedures, which shall be additional “Test Procedures.”

Capacity Test Procedures. Capacity Test to establish the Rated Capacity of a Unit will be the same test as described in Appendix D (Capacity Test Prodecures) of the Power Purchase and Sale Contract between Seller and Henan Electric Power Corporation. Purchaser agrees to accept the result of such capacity test.
Capacity Test Procedures. ● ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Project and ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Expansion (each, a “Plant”) shall be tested simultaneously as a combined unit. ● All parts of the ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility shall be operated in normal, automatic operating mode without exceeding the predefined design limits or prudent long-term operating conditions for any system or component. ● The resource, ▇▇▇▇▇, and equipment shall operate in stable condition for at least 12 hours prior to the start of the test to demonstrate reasonably constant geothermal fluid flows and temperatures being delivered to the ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility. ● Each test shall be conducted for a period of 15 days except as extended as outlined below (the “Test Period”). ● The average geothermal fluid flow during each test shall not exceed 31,560 gpm. ● The net energy production shall be measured at the ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility revenue meter on the low side of the GSU. ● The test uncertainties shall be calculated before and after the test and shall not exceed: Net output kW 0.40% Ambient temperature °F 1.0 °F Geothermal fluid flow gpm 1.0% ● Instrument accuracies shall be reviewed and calibrated as needed to achieve the target uncertainties to the satisfaction of both parties. ● No tolerances shall be applied for uncertainty or any other reason. The net capacity (corrected only for ambient temperature) shall be compared directly to the guaranteed value without allowance for uncertainty, i.e. no “deadband”. ● The Plant Capacity will be calculated by applying the appropriate Ambient Temperature Correction Factor to the capacity. This Ambient Temperature Correction Factor will be the average of the reciprocal of F1 for the measured temperature during the Test Period, as set forth in the formula below: Where: n Number of points F1i Ambient Temperature Correction Factor for point i. Meter MWh Meter readings at the each Plant revenue meter on the low side of the GSU transformer. ● Power and ambient temperature will be measured at least at 10 minutes intervals. ● Ambient temperature shall be measured with two (2) RTDs at each Plant in locations that give a good average value for the site, as agreed by both Parties. ● The HMI (Human Machine Interface) shall be used to collect, store, and average the data. Averages shall be available for each minute and hour of each test and provided in Excel or delimited text files. Other normal measurements in the ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Facility shall be recorded and made available upon request. ● The acceptance cr...
Capacity Test Procedures. Guidelines ---------- After a unit is sufficiently complete so that such unit and all systems associated with it are capable of safe operation in accordance with Prudent Electrical Practices, Seller shall conduct a capacity test as described below. Seller shall give Purchaser and the engineer at least five days prior written notice of the date on which a capacity test will commence. Purchaser may for reasonable cause defer a capacity test for up to five days fom the date requested by Seller. Seller, Purchaser and the engineer shall each designate and make available qualified and authorized representatives to observe a capacity test as described in this Appendix D, and to monitor the taking of measurements to determine the level of achievement. Testing and measuring procedures used in a capacity test shall be in accordance with Chinese standards and codes. A capacity test may, but is not required to be, run concurrently with the performance tests under the construction contracts.
Capacity Test Procedures. (a) The Borrower shall, in good faith, prepare draft Capacity Test Procedures.
(b) The draft Capacity Test Procedures shall:
(i) cover each Generating Unit;
(ii) be based on and reflect the Standard Operations Manual, Prudent Utility Practice and the procedures stipulated in the ESC for testing Unit Rated Capacity;
(iii) provide that corrections to the test results will be limited to those permitted under the ESC for Unit Rated Capacity. Corrections shall not be made for steam and brine temperature, and steam pressure and steam flow;
(iv) include the following information, as applicable, at a minimum:
(A) purpose of test;
(B) parties to the test;
(C) key personnel and their responsibilities;
(D) logistics governing the conduct of the test;
(E) equipment inspection and condition requirements;
(F) equipment operating conditions including required equipment status and a detailed valve line-up;
(G) required primary and secondary parameters where:
(I) primary parameters are those used directly to determine or calculate the test results, including the correction of the test results; and
(II) secondary parameters are those measured throughout the test period for informational and back-up purposes and to ensure test conditions are not violated, but do not directly enter into the calculation of results;
(H) special calibrated test instrumentation used for measurement of primary parameters and their location, in addition to post-test recalibration requirements;
(I) instrumentation for secondary parameters and their location;
(J) requirements for preliminary testing, including data acquisition system(s) functional checks;
