Common use of Reactive Power Design Criteria Clause in Contracts

Reactive Power Design Criteria. New Facilities: For all new Generating Facilities to be interconnected pursuant to the Tariff, other than wind- powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities, the Generation Project Developer shall design its Generating Facility to maintain a composite power delivery at continuous rated power output at a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.90 lagging. For all new wind-powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities the Generation Project Developer shall design its Generating Facility with the ability to maintain a composite power delivery at a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging across the full range of continuous rated power output. For all wind-powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities that submitted a New Services Request on or after November 1, 2016, the power factor requirement shall be measured at the high- side of the facility substation transformers. 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, or a combination of the two. For new generation resources of more than 20 MW, other than wind-powered and other non- synchronous Generating Facilities, the power factor requirement shall be measured at the generator’s terminals. For new generation resources of 20 MW or less the power factor requirement shall be measured at the Point of Interconnection. Any different reactive power design criteria that Transmission Provider determines to be appropriate for a wind-powered or other non- synchronous generation facility shall be stated in the Generation Interconnection Agreement. A Transmission Project Developer interconnecting Merchant D.C. Transmission Facilities and/or Controllable A.C. Merchant Transmission Facilities shall design its Generating Facility to maintain a power factor at the Point of Interconnection of at least 0.95 leading and 0.95 lagging, when the Generating Facility is operating at any level within its approved operating range.

For all new wind-powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities the Generation Project Developer Interconnection Customer shall design its Generating Customer Facility with the ability to maintain a composite power delivery at a power factor of at least 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging under conditions in which a wind-powered generation facility’s real power output exceeds 25 percent of its continuous rated power output and, for all other non-synchronous generation facilities, across the full range of continuous rated power output. across the full range of continuous rated power output. For all wind-powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities that submitted a entering the New Services Request Service Queue on or after November 1, 2016, the power factor requirement shall be measured at the high- side of the facility substation transformers.

For new generation resources of 20 MW or less less, and all wind-powered and other non-synchronous generation facilities entering the New Service Queue prior to May 1, 2015, the power factor requirement shall be measured at the Point of Interconnection. Any different reactive power design criteria that Transmission Provider determines to be appropriate for a wind-powered or other non- non-synchronous generation facility shall be stated in the Generation Interconnection Service Agreement. A Transmission Project Developer Interconnection Customer interconnecting Merchant D.C. Transmission Facilities and/or and/ or Controllable A.C. Merchant Transmission Facilities shall design its Generating Customer Facility to maintain a power factor at the Point of Interconnection of at least 0.95 leading and 0.95 lagging, when the Generating Customer Facility is operating at any level within its approved operating range.
