Common use of Transient Study Clause in Contracts

Transient Study. High-speed transients can result in degradation of the quality of service, equipment damage, and/or potential safety problems. Transients are not reviewed in the interconnection study. The transient study is performed using a specifically tailored computer program to determine the nature of high-speed transients and to evaluate the corrective actions necessary to minimize their effects. The necessity for a transient study will be determined after the preliminary analysis of the interconnection study. The following relative criteria increase the necessity for a transient study. o Strength of the interconnected system. o Location with respect to other customer loads. o Probability of isolation of the QF with other loads. o Size of the QF generator. o Connection of EHV (230 kV and above) system.
