Common use of Power Factor Design Criteria (Reactive Power Clause in Contracts

Power Factor Design Criteria (Reactive Power. An Asynchronous Generating Facility shall operate within 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 in order to maintain a specified voltage schedule, if the Phase II Interconnection Study shows that such a requirement is necessary to ensure safety or reliability. 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, or a combination of the two, if agreed to by the Participating TO and CAISO. The Interconnection Customer shall not disable power factor equipment while the Asynchronous Generating Facility is in operation. Asynchronous Generating Facilities shall also be able to provide sufficient dynamic voltage support in lieu of the power system stabilizer and automatic voltage regulation at the generator excitation system if the Phase II Interconnection Study shows this to be required for system safety or reliability.

The power factor range standard standards can be met by using, for exampleexample without limitation, power electronics designed to supply this level of reactive capability (taking into account any G-4 SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. 1757 limitations due to voltage level, real power output, etc.) or fixed and switched capacitorscapacitors if agreed to by the Connecting Transmission Owner for the Transmission District to which the wind generating plant will be interconnected, or a combination of the two, if agreed to by the Participating TO and CAISO. The Interconnection Customer Developer shall not disable power factor equipment while the Asynchronous Generating Facility wind plant is in operation. Asynchronous Generating Facilities Wind plants shall also be able to provide sufficient dynamic voltage support in lieu of the power system stabilizer and automatic voltage regulation at the generator excitation system if the Phase II Interconnection System Reliability Impact Study shows this to be required for system safety or reliability.
