Common use of Flowgate Studies Clause in Contracts

Flowgate Studies. To identify Flowgates the Parties will perform an off-line study to determine if there is a significant GLDF for at least one generator within the Non-Monitoring RTO, or significant PSF for at least one NY-NJ PAR, on a potential Flowgate within the Monitoring RTO that is greater than or equal to the thresholds as described below. The study shall be based on an up-to-date power flow model representation of the Eastern Interconnection, with all normally closed Transmission Facilities in-service. The transmission modeling assumptions used in the Flowgate studies will be based on the same assumptions used for determining M2M Entitlements in Section 6 of this Schedule D. 3.1 Either Party may propose that a new Flowgate be added at any time. The Parties will work together to perform the necessary studies within a reasonable timeframe. 3.2 The GLDF thresholds for a Other Coordinated Flowgate with one or more monitored elements are defined as: i. Single monitored element, 5% GLDF on any resource; ii. Two monitored elements, 7.5% GLDF on any resource; and iii. Three or more monitored elements, 10% GLDF on any resource. For potential Other Coordinated Flowgates that pass the above GLDF criteria, the Parties must still mutually agree to add each Flowgate for NY-NJ PAR and redispatch coordination. 3.3 The GLDF thresholds for a M2M Redispatch Flowgate with one or more monitored elements are defined as: i. Single monitored element, 5% GLDF on any Qualified Resource; ii. Two monitored elements, 7.5% GLDF on any Qualified Resource; and iii. Three or more monitored elements, 10% GLDF on any Qualified Resource. For potential M2M Redispatch Flowgates that pass the above GLDF criteria, the Parties must still mutually agree to add each Flowgate for NY-NJ PAR and redispatch coordination. 3.4 The NY-NJ PARs PSF thresholds for NY-NJ PAR Coordinated Flowgates with one or more monitored elements are defined as: 1. Single monitored element, 5% NY-NJ PARs PSF; 2. Two monitored elements, 7.5% NY-NJ PARs PSF; and 3. Three or more monitored elements, 10% NY-NJ PARs PSF. For potential Flowgates that pass the above NY-NJ PARs PSF criteria, the Parties must still mutually agree to add each Flowgate for coordinated operation of the NY-NJ PARs. 3.5 The Parties can also mutually agree to add a Flowgate that does not satisfy the above GLDF or PSF criteria.
