CONTROL SYSTEM ACCEPTANCE TEST CRITERIA. [This Attachment to be modified based on the type/design of the Facility and the results of the IRS] Final test criteria and procedures shall be agreed upon by Company and Seller no later than thirty (30) Days prior to conducting the Control System Acceptance Test in accordance with Good Engineering and Operating Practices and with the terms of this Agreement. The Control System Telemetry and Control List is necessary for the effective operation of the Company System and will be tested during the Control System Acceptance Test. The Control System Acceptance Test is comprised of two parts, a set of onsite (at Facility) specific tests and a monitoring performance test. These tests may include the following: On-site Tests (Between Facility and Company Dispatch Center): SCADA Test to verify the status and analog telemetry, and if the remote controls between the Company’s EMS and the Facility are working properly end-to-end. Meter Test to verify the status and analog telemetry between Company’s revenue meter data acquisition system and the Facility’s revenue meters are working properly end-to-end. Dispatch Test to verify if the Facility’s active power controls and the Active Power Control Interface with the Company’s EMS are working properly. This test is generally conducted by setting different active power setpoints and limits and observing the proper dispatch of the appropriate ramp rate of the Facility’s real power output. Control Test for Voltage Regulation to verify the Facility can properly perform automatic voltage regulation as defined in this Agreement. This test is generally conducted by making small adjustments of the voltage setpoint and verifying by observation that the Facility regulates the voltage at the point of regulation to the setpoint by delivering/receiving reactive power to/from the Company System to maintain the applicable setpoint according to the reactive power control and the reactive amount requirements of Section 3 (Performance Standards) of Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller) to this Agreement. Frequency Regulation Control Test to verify the Facility provides a frequency droop response as defined in this Agreement. This test is generally conducted by making adjustments of the frequency reference setting and verifying by observation that the Facility responds per droop and deadband settings. Test other controls defined in this Agreement or mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties to enable, disable, dispatch and/or schedule the energy storage system real power and energy operations. Loss-of-Communication Test to verify the Facility will properly shutdown upon the failure of the direct-transfer-trip communication system. This test is generally conducted by simulating a communications failure and observing the proper shutdown of the Facility. Round Trip Efficiency Test, as described in Attachment T (Facility Tests) to verify that the round trip efficiency of the XXXX is not less than [________] percent ([___]%). [Note – The round trip efficiency percentage will be taken from Seller’s RFP Proposal.] Capacity Test to verify the Capacity Ratio. Monitoring Test: The monitoring test requires the Facility to operate as it would in normal operations. To ensure useful and valid test data is collected, the monitoring test shall end seven (7) continuous Days from the start of the Monitoring Test. The performance of the Facility during the period of a successfully completed monitoring test is evaluated for, e.g., voltage regulation, frequency response, dispatch control, operating limits and ramp rate performance, to verify the performance meets the requirements of this Agreement.
