Reasonable Efforts – With respect to an action Transmission Owner.
(b) Network Customer will take operational steps required to be attempted or taken by a Party under this Agreement, efforts that are timely and consistent with Good Utility Practice to ensure that the deliveries to all Delivery Points (specified in the appendix to the NITSA) do not exceed the annually forecasted Network Load. Changes to forecasted Network Load amounts must be made consistent with the requirements of the Tariff, the Transmission Owner’s Business Practices, and are otherwise substantially equivalent the Criteria for Notification of Network Customer Load Changes procedures posted on OASIS.
(c) Insofar as practicable, the Transmission Owner and the Network Customer shall protect, operate, and maintain their respective systems so as to those a Party would use avoid or minimize the likelihood of disturbances which might cause impairment of service on the system(s) of the other.
(d) For Network Customers that elect to protect its own interests. Small Generating Facility – satisfy their NERC BA requirements by contracting with the Transmission Owner as provided in Section 1(a) (ii) above of this agreement, the following requirements apply:
(i) The Interconnection Transmission Owner is not required to provide Backup Supply Service to, for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any of the Network Customer’s device no larger than 20 MW for loads and/or resources. In Order No. 888, the production Commission has described Backup Supply Service as an alternative source of electricity identified generation that a customer may use in the Interconnection Requestevent that its primary generation source becomes unavailable for more than a few minutes and has ruled that the Transmission Owner is not required to provide Backup Supply Service as an Ancillary Service. While the Transmission Owner will offer to provide the Network Customer Ancillary Services, but shall including short-term operating reserve services (spinning and supplemental reserves), if a Network Customer uses either type of such short-term operating reserve, it must expeditiously replace the reserve with Backup Supply Service to reestablish reserve levels. Backup Supply Service is a generation service that is the responsibility of the Network Customer, who may contract for Backup Supply Service with any power supplier or may determine to curtail load. Thus, the Transmission Owner is not include required to provide any Backup Supply Service in the Interconnection Customerevent that the Network Customer experiences a supply shortage.
(ii) Ancillary Services. The Network Customer must purchase Schedule 1 Scheduling, System Control and Dispatch Service, Schedule 2 Reactive Supply and Voltage Control from Generation Sources Services, and comply with Schedule 11 Losses. The Network Customer must either self-supply or purchase from the Transmission Owner Schedule 3 Regulation and Frequency Response, Schedule 4 Imbalance Energy, Schedules 5 and 6 Supplemental and Spinning Reserves and Schedule 9 Generation Imbalance Service.
(iii) As noted above, Transmission Owner is obligated to provide the Tariff- required Ancillary Services for imbalances under Schedules 4 and 9 if the Network Customer has not either self-supplied these services or obtained them from a third party. Under Schedule 4, Energy Imbalance Service is provided when a difference occurs between the scheduled and the actual delivery of energy to a load located within the control area over a single hour. The Transmission Owner must offer this service when the transmission service is used to serve load within its BA Area. Under Schedule 9, Generator Imbalance Service is provided when a difference occurs between the output of a generator located in the Transmission Owner’s Interconnection FacilitiesBA Area and a delivery schedule from that generator to (1) another BA Area or (2) a load within the Transmission Provider’s BA Area over a single hour. System Deliverability Upgrades – The least costly configuration of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be used, consistent with Good Utility Practice Transmission Owner must offer Energy Imbalance Services and Applicable Reliability RequirementsGeneration Imbalance Services, to make the modifications extent physically feasible from its resources or additions resources available to it, when transmission service is used to deliver energy from a generator within its BA Area. As stated in such schedules, Energy and Generation Imbalance Services supplied to the existing New York State Network Customer are limited to the difference between scheduled load and actual load and scheduled generation deliveries and the actual output of a generator over a single hour. Energy Imbalance Service is not to be relied upon by the Network Customer as a Backup Supply Service.
(iv) The Parties shall implement load shedding programs to maintain the reliability and integrity of the Transmission System System. Such load shedding programs shall include: (1) automatic load shedding by underfrequency relay and (2) manual load shedding. The Network Customer will manually shed Network Load as necessary: (a) if, despite pursuing mitigation procedures pursuant to Appendix A hereto, the Network Customer remains unable to deliver power to its Network Load due to a power supply shortage affecting the Network Customer, or (b) to the extent that are required for the proposed project to connect reliably to a contingency exists on the system in accordance with Section 33.6 of the Tariff (proportionately with all of the Transmission Owner’s other firm transmission commitments affecting, or affected by, a manner transmission constraint). The Transmission Owner will implement load shedding to maintain the relative sizes of load served, unless otherwise required by circumstances beyond the control of the Transmission Owner or the Network Customer. Automatic load shedding devices will operate without notice. When manual load shedding is necessary, the Transmission Owner shall notify the Network Customer’s dispatchers or schedulers of the required action and the Network Customer shall comply immediately. In the event that meets the NYISO Deliverability Interconnection Standard for Capacity Resource Interconnection Service. System Upgrade Facilities – The least costly configuration Network Customer fails to manually shed Network Load as required hereunder, the Network Customer shall pay: a penalty as set forth in Schedule 13 of commercially available components of electrical equipment that can be used, consistent with good utility practice and Applicable Reliability Requirements to make the modifications Tariff applied to the existing transmission amount of load at those Delivery Points that the Transmission Owner requested to be shed that was not shed; energy imbalance pursuant to Schedule 4; and any other costs or damages incurred due to the Network Customer’s failure to shed Network Load (including, but not limited to, costs in connection with unit start up, system that are required to maintain system reliability due to: (i) losses and changes in the system, including such changes generation dispatch and all applicable NERC and SERC penalties subject to Commission approval and other conditions as load growth and changes set forth in load pattern, to be addressed in the form of generic generation or transmission projects; and 1 (iie) proposed interconnectionsabove). In the additions event of a failure by the Network Customer to manually shed load, the existing New York State Network Operating Committee will review the circumstances surrounding such failure and will also adopt remedial measures and protection deemed appropriate to avoid a similar failure in the future. The Transmission System that are required for the proposed project Owner does not employ any Special Protective Schemes (“SPS”) and does not allow its own load to connect reliably use SPS.
(e) The Network Customer shall, at its own expense, provide, operate, and maintain or cause to the system be provided, operated, and maintained in service high-speed, underfrequency load shedding equipment. The Network Customer will install, or cause to be installed, underfrequency relays to disconnect automatically approximately thirty percent (30%) of its Network Load in a manner consistent with SERC’s Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (“UFLS”) standard. (See SERC UFLS Standard PRC-006-SERC-001). The installation of underfrequency relays to accomplish any additional load shedding above that meets already installed shall be completed on a schedule agreed to by the NYISO Minimum Interconnection StandardOperating Committee. Tariff – The NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff, Operating Committee may review the amount of load that would be disconnected automatically and make such adjustments and changes as filed with the FERC, and as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor tariff.
