Active Power service Sample Clauses
The Active Power service clause defines the obligations and parameters related to the provision and delivery of active electrical power by a service provider. Typically, this clause outlines the expected levels of power output, measurement methods, and any performance standards or penalties for non-compliance. For example, it may specify the minimum megawatt output required at certain times or the process for verifying delivered power. Its core practical function is to ensure that the recipient receives a reliable and quantifiable amount of active power, thereby supporting operational planning and reducing disputes over service performance.
Active Power service. The Active Power service relates to the active power generated from the participating DER unit. After receiving an instruction, it will need to be capable of responding by automatically ramping the active power generated up and/or down according to the DERMS instruction and within the plant limitations. This service is expected to manage transmission constraints and to support technical and commercial optimisation and dispatch. It will be exercised on the day in real-time depending on the cost compared to other options available to the System Operator. The provision of this service means that the plant should be ready to change its active power output upon an instruction from UK Power Networks via the DERMS. The plants response should be automatic and within its pre-defined limits and ramp rates.
Active Power service. To participate in the Active Power Service, DER must first complete a Mandatory Technical Trial. A fixed fee of £150/MWh will be paid for any MWh dispatched to validate the DER response to an active power set-point instruction before moving to competitive bidding. This will take place during the first 2 weeks2 of the trial during which each DER is expected to be available for one day for its individual testing during the time windows that are agreed with the project team (see Mandatory Technical Trials). During competitive bidding, DER payments will be made at the level of DER bids (‘pay-as-bid’), and there will be no availability payment for the active power service.
Active Power service. 6.1. The Provider will complete Mandatory Technical Trials before it can offer the Active Power Reserve Service;
6.2. During Wave 1 UKPN shall notify the Provider of any changes to the timings of the Mandatory Technical Trial Windows that it subsequently requires on not less than [ ] days’ notice prior to the Trading Day on and from which such changes are to take effect;
6.3. The Provider shall, notify UKPN (through the DERMS Interface) by not later than [16.00] on each day for each Notified Settlement Period on the next Trading Day of its expected operating levels from the DER Unit, and the prices for Active Power Utilisation.
6.4. UKPN may (through the DERMS Interface), by not later than [2] minutes before the required start time, issue an instruction (“Active Power Instruction”) for delivery of Active Power Response from the DER Unit if specified in the Production Schedule.
6.5. Following receipt of an Active Power Instruction from UKPN under clause 6.2, the Provider shall deliver the Active Power Response from the DER Unit by operating the DER Unit at the set point specified in that Instruction and in accordance with the Service Parameters.
6.6. The quantity of Active Power Response that a DER Unit has delivered pursuant to an
