Operational Constraints. Constraints on the operation of the Units or a Project that are needed to meet any requirement due to the HCP, regulations, laws, court orders, authority, safety, or Operating Agreements, or to minimize equipment wear, maintain equipment, or repair/replace equipment, or that are due to any other event or circumstance described in this Appendix A or in the Contract. Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA) – The agreement among Northwest parties for the coordinated operation of the Columbia River system on a seasonal and monthly basis. The PNCA defines the firm energy output of Rocky Reach and Rock Island as well as other rights and obligations, including provisional energy, interchange energy, in-lieu energy, and others defined in the contract. The PNCA does not allow resources above the head works of Bonneville Dam to be removed from coordination, and currently all Capacity and Energy of Rocky Reach and Rock Island are included in PNCA planning. PNCA serves as a settlement of the Federal Power Act Section 10(f) obligation to reimburse upstream Federal projects for energy gains as a result of the storage provided, as well as a FERC approved settlement among all Non-Federal parties for upstream benefit payments.
Operational Constraints. Limitations on the ability of the Transmission System to operate due to any system emergency, loading condition, or maintenance outage on the Transmission Provider facilities, or on facilities of an interconnected utility, that makes it prudent to reduce Transmission System loadings, whether or not all facilities are in service.
Operational Constraints. Where a Viterra Facility reaches its storage capacity for a particular Binned Grade or Grain, Viterra reserves the right to close the relevant segregation , however the Purchase Options will remain to allow for warehouse transfers to continue. The Client agrees that Viterra will not be liable for any loss suffered or incurred by the Client (or any third party) as a result of, or in connection with such matters. Definitions In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms have the same meaning as in the Agreements. In this Schedule: Daily Cash means the Purchase Option under which a Buyer has bid to purchase Grain which is not necessarily classified as sustainable or supported by relevant appropriate Sustainable Accreditation. DPE System means Viterra’s Direct Price Entry (DPE) system enabling Clients to submit Purchase Options through the Ezigrain Website as described in this Schedule. Effective Date means the date on which the Client has selected or communicated to Viterra that a Purchase Option is to take effect. Effective Period means the period for which the Client, in its submission of a Purchase Option, requests the Purchase Option to be effective. Ezigrain or Ezigrain Website means xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx. Posted Price means the purchase price offered by the Client in a Purchase Option. Site means Viterra Facility. Sustainable Accreditation means documents required by a Client as communicated by that Client in order to classify Grain as able to be sold for Sustainable Cash.
Operational Constraints. TRAINING (SATELLITE SYSTEM FEATURES/PERFORMANCE) The Contractor shall conduct a training course for the Purchaser's satellite operators. This course shall be conducted for experienced personnel at the Contractor's satellite control facilities and shall be structured to train the Purchaser and its assigned personnel to operate and maintain the in-orbit satellites. The Training Course Program Plan will be provided to the customer for his review and approval. The course shall include training in satellite system features and performance, all Dynamic Spacecraft Simulator hardware and software provided by SS/L, and operational maintenance. The classroom course will prepare experienced personnel to operate the satellites. USE OR DISCLOSURE OF THE DATA CONTAINED ON THIS SHEET IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTION ON THE TITLE PAGE.
Operational Constraints. The direct approach to deal with operational constraints is to include all of them explicitly in the classical formulation of the problem. The most crucial of the operational constraints can be modelled as set packing constraints such that the problem can be tackled by constraint branching techniques. Another possibility is to model operational constraints by “virtual connections”, leading to disjunctive constraints. In both models, the number of variables and of constraints increases dramatically. Since our goal is to develop online and real-time algorithms, solving these extended models exactly is out of reach. The solution approach we investigate is based on the following notion of robustness. Instead of considering all operational constraints directly, we create a small set of more abstract constraints which are easier to handle and still capture the important aspects of all the operational constraints adequately. The resulting solution must then be modified by a heuristic to ensure feasibility with respect to all operational constraints. Two main tasks have hence to be solved. First, a representation of the operational constraints by a reasonably sized set of simplified constraints has to be derived. To this end, we try to identify dependencies of delays based on a statistical analysis of real world data. Second, an efficient procedure needs to be developed that finds solutions in the simplified model for which only few modifications are necessary, i.e., that satisfy most of the neglected constraints. One approach is to use methods of project planning where few disjunctive constraints can be modelled as alternative edges.

Operational Constraints. Limitations on the ability of the Transmission Provider’s Transmission system to operate due to any system emergency, loading condition, or maintenance outage on the Transmission Provider facilities, or on facilities of an interconnected utility, that makes it prudent to reduce Transmission Provider’s Transmission system loadings, whether or not all facilities are in service.
1 Necessary equipment includes, but is not limited to, remote terminal units, metering, communications, telemetering and relaying equipment.
2 Data may include, but is not limited to, data pertaining to instantaneous Spinning and Non- Spinning Operating Reserves, heat rates, fuel costs and operational characteristics of designated resources, generation schedules for resources, interchange schedules, resource outputs, voltage schedules, flows of real and reactive power, loss factors, switch status, breaker status, megawatt (MW)/megaVAr flow on lines, bus voltages, transformer taps and other Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) and real-time data.
Operational Constraints a) The Contractor shall have clear markings indicating the Contractors name and phone number on all equipment used in this contract
b) The area of operation awarded may be changed by the Manager of Public Works for a temporary period if required, with no other changes to the terms and conditions of this contract.
c) The contractor is responsible for maintenance, attachments and required accessories in a safe, functional and efficient condition.
Operational Constraints. The Consultant shall take into consideration the Client’s operational requirements during the project implementation. The Consultant shall provide the works in a way not to interrupt the plant system activities or to minimize the outages. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the Schedule approved by the Client.
Operational Constraints. CDWR's ability to schedule and dispatch the Contract Quantity shall be subject to the following constraints: Minimum Run Time: 12 consecutive hrs/day at Minimum Load Level or greater. Minimum Load Level: Shall be determined annually for the Project as a component of the Test performed in accordance with Special Condition 5. The methodology for determination of such Minimum Load Level is set forth on Exhibit V. If less than three combustion turbines are expected to be available on any day, HDPP will notify CDWR of the resulting Minimum Load Level by 5:00 A.M. Pacific prevailing time on such day. Ramp Rates from/to Minimum Load Level: 4 MW per minute Start Time: 5 Hours HDPP shall provide CDWR quantities of energy to be provided each of the five hours of the start up cycle as soon as practicable after finalization of start-up procedures by HDPP's Engineering Procurement Construction ("EPC") contractor. Shut Down Time: 1 Hour Shut Down Quantity: 143 MWhrs for the 1 hour shut down cycle. No scheduling during Planned Maintenance Outage.
