Common use of Additional Coordination Clause in Contracts

Additional Coordination. In concert with the coordination of Outages addressed in Article VII and the Parties’ respective day-ahead security analysis processes, the Parties will coordinate the impact of outages and system conditions on the voltage/reactive profile. Coordination will include the following elements: 19.2.8.1 Each Party will review its forecasted loads, transfers, and all information on available generation and transmission reactive power sources at the beginning of each shift. 19.2.8.2 Within the range of Normal On-Peak and Normal Off-Peak, each Party will operate independently in accordance with the above stated criteria and any individual system guidelines for the supply of the Party’s reactive power requirements. 19.2.8.3 If either Party anticipates reactive problems after the review, it may request joint implementation of Heavy or Light reactive support levels under these Voltage and Reactive Power Coordination Procedures, as it deems appropriate to the situation. When a Party calls for a particular level of support to be implemented under these procedures, it or the applicable Control Area must identify the time it will start adjusting its system, the support level it is implementing, and the voltage problem area. 19.2.8.4 If a Party experiences an actual low or high voltage condition after initial reactive support measures are taken, then the emergency reactive support level is implemented for the area experiencing the problem. The Party will also notify applicable Reliability Coordinators as soon as feasible. In addition, the Voltage and Reactive Power Coordination Procedures are to be consulted to determine if further action is necessary to correct an undesirable voltage situation.
