Active Power Control Interface Clause Samples

The Active Power Control Interface clause defines the requirements and protocols for managing and adjusting the active power output of a generating facility or device. Typically, this clause outlines the technical specifications for the interface, such as communication standards, control signals, and response times, ensuring that the power output can be remotely monitored and controlled by the grid operator or utility. By establishing clear guidelines for active power control, this clause helps maintain grid stability, enables integration of variable energy resources, and ensures compliance with grid codes or operational requirements.
Active Power Control Interface. (i) Seller shall provide and maintain in good working order all equipment, computers and software associated with the control system (the "Active Power Control Interface") necessary to interface the Facility active power controls with the Company System Operations Control Center for real power control of the Facility by the Company System Operator. The Active Power Control Interface will be used to control the maximum level of the net real power export from the Facility when required under this Attachment B (Facility Owned by Seller). The implementation of the Active Power Control Interface will allow Company System Operator to initiate the active power limiting, vary the level of limiting, and remove the limiting remotely from Company System Operations Control Center through control signals from Company's SCADA and EMS systems. (ii) Company shall review and provide prior written approval of the design for the Active Power Control Interface to ensure compatibility with Company's centralized control systems. In order to ensure such continued compatibility, Seller shall not materially change the approved design without Company's prior review and prior written approval. (iii) The Active Power Control Interface shall include, but not be limited to, a demarcation cabinet, ancillary equipment and software necessary for Seller to connect to Company's RTU, or designated communications and control interface, located in Company's portion of the Facility switching station which shall provide the control signals to the Facility and send feedback status to the Company System Operations Control Center. The control type shall be analog output (setpoint) controls. (iv) The Active Power Control Interface shall also include provision for feedback points from the Facility indicating when active power limiting is in effect and the analog value of the MW limit(s). The Facility shall provide the feedback to the Company SCADA system within 2 seconds of receiving the respective control signal from the Company. (v) Seller shall provide to the telemetry interface an analog signal for the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ production of each individual generating unit, and an analog signal for the total net MW production at the Point of Interconnection. (vi) The Active Power Control Interface shall provide for remote control of the real-power output of the Facility by the Company at all times. If the Active Power Control Interface is unavailable or disabled, the Facility shall not export electric energy to C...
