(d) Updated power flow 30.4.4.7.1 A Developer seeking to modify its proposed Large Facility based upon a change to the turbines, inverters, or plant supervisory controls or other similar advancements to the existing technology proposed in the Developer’s Interconnection Request shall submit a Large Facility Modification Request in the form of Appendix 3 to these Large Facility Interconnection Procedures, which shall be accompanied by a study deposit in the amount of $10,000 and dynamics models in digital formatany support relied on by the Developer to show that the change is a Permissible Technological Advancement or not a Material Modification. Upon receipt of a Large Facility Modification Request that identifies a request for a technological change, the ISO, in consultation with the Connecting Transmission Owner(s) to the extent practicable, shall first conduct a review of the technological change and supporting information to determine whether such change constitutes a Permissible Technological Advancement. If the Large Facility Modification Request demonstrates that the proposed technological change satisfies the definition of Permissible Technological Advancement requestand does not result in a change to the electrical characteristics that is (i) greater than two (2) percent voltage drop at the Point of Interconnection or (ii) greater than 100 amperes short circuit contribution, Transmission Provider shallthen no additional study is required and the technological change shall constitute a Permissible Technological Advancement.

30.4.4.7.3 If the ISO concludes that the requested technological change does not constitute a Permissible Technological Advancement after completing the additional studies, the ISO shall review whether the technological change would constitute a Material Modification consistent with Section 30.4.4.3 of this Attachment X.
30.4.4.7.4 The ISO will complete its review and any additional studies required under this Technological Change Procedure within thirty (30) Calendar DaysDays of receiving a Large Facility Modification Request and the required study deposit. Following completion of the ISO’s review and any additional studies, determine whether the technological advancement is ISO shall describe the studies that were conducted, if any, and invoice the Developer for any costs incurred and either refund any remaining amount of the study deposit in excess of the costs without interest for amounts owed. The Developer shall pay the invoice within thirty (30) Calendar Days from receipt of the invoice or commence a Permissible Technological Advancement or a Material Modification. Any additional studies resulting from a proposed technological advancement shall be done at Interconnection Customer’s cost.dispute under Section 30.13.5 of this Attachment X.

Technological Change Procedure. Prior to the return of an executed Interconnection Facilities Study Agreement, the only modification permitted other than what is allowed per Section 4.4 – Modifications without potentially affecting Interconnection Customer’s Queue Position, is a Permissible Technological Advancement. The Technological Change Procedure as outlined below sets forth the requirements for an An Interconnection Customer to submit a Permissible Technological Advancement request and Transmission Provider’s responsibilities for determining whether Interconnection Customer’s proposed technological advancement is a Permissible Technological Advancement.
4.4.6.1 If an Interconnection Customer seeks to incorporate may propose a technological advancement into its existing Interconnection Request, Interconnection Customer must submit for a Permissible Technological Advancement Generating Facility it has in the interconnection queue by submitting a request to the Transmission Provider at any time prior to execution of the return of an executed Interconnection Facilities Study Agreement. Interconnection Customer shall provide The Transmission Provider will review the following to Transmission Provider:
(a) An updated Interconnection Request for a Large Generating Facility (Appendix 1 to this LGIP) and an updated Attachment A to Appendix 1 to this LGIP, that reflects the data associated with the change in technology or technological advancement that Interconnection Customer seeks to incorporate into its Interconnection Request;
(b) A $10,000 deposit within five (5) Business Days of being notified that additional studies are necessary;
(c) A written description of request and determine if the proposed technological advancement and supporting data or documentation which demonstrates why the proposed technological advancement proposal meets the definition of a Permissible Technological Advancement; and
. The technological advancement request must be submitted in writing and include a description of the proposed technological advancement(s). The technological advancement request must demonstrate that the proposed incorporation of the technological advancement would result in electrical performance that is equal to or better than the electrical performance expected prior to the technology change and not cause any reliability concerns (d) Updated power flow i.e., materially impact the Transmission System with regard to short circuit capability limits, steady-state thermal and dynamics models in digital formatvoltage limits, or dynamic system stability and response). Upon receipt The request must provide sufficient details necessary for the Transmission Provider to evaluate whether the change is a Material Modification and should include, but not be limited to, an updated one-line diagram and an updated submittal of Attachment A of Appendix 31 and Attachment A of Appendix 53 to the LGIP. If, after review of the request, the Transmission Provider is able to easily assess and determine that the proposed technological advancement will not change study outcomes, or otherwise change the Generating Facility’s effect on the Transmission Provider’s Transmission System, the request will be accepted and the change will be considered a Permissible Technological Advancement request, Advancement. If the Transmission Provider shallis not able to easily assess the proposed changes and determines that further studies are necessary, the Transmission Provider will notify the Interconnection Customer, who will be required to submit a formal application for evaluation under Section 4, as applicable. The Interconnection Customer must then within thirty 5 days provide: 1) a study deposit of $10,000, and 2) any additional information that may be requested by the Transmission Provider necessary to complete the studies. The application will be deemed complete when the Transmission Provider has received the study deposit and all requested information from the Interconnection Customer. The Transmission Provider will perform the studies within 30 Calendar Days (30or as otherwise agreed upon with the Interconnection Customer) Calendar Daysof receipt of the initial request and provide a report to the Interconnection Customer. The report will consider material impacts to the Transmission Provider’s Transmission System with regard to short circuit capability limits, determine steady-state thermal and voltage limits, or dynamic system stability and whether the proposed technological advancement materially impacts the timing and costs of lower-queued interconnection customers. If actual study costs exceed the deposit, the Interconnection Customer will be responsible for this excess cost. If actual study costs are less than the deposit, the Transmission Provider shall refund the difference to the Interconnection Customer. The study report provided to the Interconnection Customer will contain sufficient information to explain why the Transmission Provider determined that the proposed technological advancement is either a Material Modification or a Permissible Technological Advancement or Advancement. If, based on the study results, the Transmission Provider determines that the proposed technological advancement constitutes a Material Modification. Any additional studies resulting from a , then the application for the proposed technological advancement shall will be done at denied. In such instance, the Interconnection Customer’s costCustomer may submit a new Interconnection Request. If, based on the study results, the Transmission Provider determines that the effects of the proposed technological advancement do not constitute a Material Modification, then the application will be accepted, and the proposed technological advancement will be considered a Permissible Technological Advancement.
