Firm Flow Limit Calculation Rules Sample Clauses

Firm Flow Limit Calculation Rules. The Firm Flow Limits for both 0% GTL flows and 5% GTL flows will be calculated for each Market Based Operating Entity based on certain criteria and rules. The calculation will include the effects of firm network service in both forward and reverse directions. The process will be similar to that of the IDC but will include one set of impacts down to 0% and another set down to 5%. The down to 0% impacts will be used to determine Firm Flow Limits on 0% GTL flows. The down to 5% impacts will be used to determine Firm Flow Limits on 5% GTL flows. The following points form the basis for the calculation. 1. The generation-to-load calculation will be made on a Control Area basis. The impact of generation-to-load will be determined for Coordinated Flowgates. 2. The Flowgate impact will be determined based on individual generators serving aggregated CA load. Only generators that are Designated Network Resources for the CA load will be included in the calculation. 3. Forward Firm Flow Limits for 0% GTL flows will consider impacts in the additive direction down to 0%, and reverse Firm Flow Limits for 0% GTL flows will consider impacts in the counter flow direction down to 0%. Forward Firm Flow Limits for 5% GTL flows will be determined by subtracting impacts between 0% and 5% in the additive direction from the Forward Firm Flow Limit for 0% GTL flows. Reverse Firm Flow Limits for 5% GTL flows will be determined by subtracting the impacts between 0% and 5% in the counter-flow direction from the reverse Firm Flow Limit for 0% GTL flows. Flowgate Firm Flow Limits using a 5% threshold are reported to the IDC for it to assign the Firm and non-Firm GTL flows used in TLR curtailments for each Market Based Operating Entity. Flowgate Firm Flow Limits using a 0% threshold are reported to the IDC for information purposes. 4. Designated Network Resources located outside the CA will not be included in the generation-to-load calculation if OASIS reservations exist for these generators. 5. If a generator or a portion of a generator is used to make off-system sales that have an OASIS reservation, that generator or portion of a generator should be excluded from the generation-to-load calculation. 6. Generators that will be off-line during the calculated period will not be included in the generation-to-load calculation for that period. 7. CA net interchange will be computed by summing all Firm Transmission Service reservations and all Designated Network Resources that are in effect thr...
