Common use of Optional Feasibility Study Scope and Procedures Clause in Contracts

Optional Feasibility Study Scope and Procedures. The Optional Feasibility Study shall preliminarily evaluate the feasibility of the proposed interconnection to the New York State Transmission System. The Optional Feasibility Study shall be conducted in accordance with Applicable Reliability Standards and will evaluate the Transmission Project using the Base Case described in Section 22.6. 1. The Optional Feasibility Study may consist of any of the following technical analyses as described in the Optional Feasibility Study scope: a. Conceptual breaker-level one-line diagram of existing system where project proposes to interconnect; b. Review of feasibility/constructability of conceptual breaker-level one-line diagram of the proposed interconnection (e.g., space for additional breaker bay in existing substation; identification of cable routing concerns inside existing substation; environmental concerns inside the substation); c. Preliminary review of local protection, communication, grounding issues associated with the proposed interconnection; d. Power flow, short circuit and/or bus flow analyses; and/or e. Identification of Network Upgrade Facilities. The schedule for completing the Optional Feasibility Study will be documented in the Optional Feasibility Study Agreement. The ISO shall utilize existing studies to the extent practicable when it performs the study. Upon request, the ISO shall provide the Transmission Developer supporting documentation, workpapers and relevant power flow, short circuit and stability databases for the Optional Feasibility Study, subject to confidentiality arrangements consistent with Section 22.13.1.
