Power Factor Design Criteria (Reactive Power. A newly interconnecting non-synchronous Generating Facility, and any subsequent modifications thereto, for which the Interconnection System Impact Study or Cluster Study commences after October 5, 2016 shall maintain dynamic reactive capability over the power factor range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, at continuous rated power output, measured at the high-side of the station transformer or at the Point of the Interconnection if there is no station transformer. This power factor range standard shall be dynamic and can be met using, for example, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors (provided the use of such capacitors is solely for the purpose of offsetting collector system losses and is found to meet all of the requirements specified in the Interconnection System Impact Study), or a combination of the two. A wind Generating Facility, and any subsequent modifications thereto, for which the Interconnection System Impact Study commenced after April 17, 2016 but before October 5, 2016 shall maintain dynamic reactive capability over the power factor range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, at continuous rated power output, measured at the high-side of the station transformer or at the Point of Interconnection if there is no station transformer. A wind Generating Facility, and any subsequent modifications thereto, for which the Interconnection System Impact Study commenced before April 17, 2016 shall maintain a power factor within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, measured at the Point of Interconnection as defined in this LGIA, if the Interconnection System Impact Study shows that such a requirement is necessary to ensure safety or reliability. For a wind Generating Facility for which the Interconnection System Impact Study commences before April 17, 2016, the power factor range standard can be met by using, for example, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitors if agreed to by the System Operator and Interconnecting Transmission Owner, or a combination of the two.
