AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL (AGC) Clause Samples

The Automatic Generation Control (AGC) clause establishes the procedures and requirements for automatically regulating the output of multiple generators within a power system to maintain system frequency and scheduled power exchanges. In practice, this clause outlines how generators are monitored and adjusted in real time, often through centralized control systems, to respond to fluctuations in demand or supply. By coordinating generator outputs, the AGC clause ensures grid stability, prevents frequency deviations, and helps maintain reliable electricity delivery, addressing the critical need for balance between generation and consumption in interconnected power networks.
AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL (AGC). (a) Prior to the Commercial Operation Date or, if applicable, prior to the Test Period, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall install AGC at the Storage Facility and shall maintain such AGC throughout the Delivery Term. Seller shall ensure that, throughout the Delivery Term, the SCADA signal is capable of functioning within the margin of error specified in the control system manufacturer’s Set Point(s) margin of error. Seller shall ensure that the Storage Facility’s AGC Remote/Local status is in “Remote” set-point control during normal operations. (b) Beginning on the Commercial Operation Date and throughout the Delivery Term, PGE shall have the right to direct the dispatch of the Storage Facility, via AGC control. (c) For each day during the Delivery Term, (i) PGE shall be responsible for, if it chooses, to register the Storage Facility in the Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) at its sole cost and expense and shall schedule and discharge the Storage Facility in accordance with the EIM’s rules, procedures and regulations, including those contained in the EIM OATT, and any applicable PGE business practices and (ii) PGE shall communicate directly to the Storage Facility in real time to dispatch the charging and discharging of the Storage Facility for the control modes identified in Exhibit L. This Section 3.4.2(c) will apply in the event the EIM is replaced, or any other market participation elected by PGE in accordance with Section 3.4.3(b). (d) PGE will have the right to charge the Storage Facility seven (7) days per week and twenty-four (24) hours per day (including NERC holidays) using energy from any source; provided that PGE shall pay for all such energy.

AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL (AGC). The control of the generation level via AGC will be the responsibility of the GREC Operator. AGC has two separate elements, both of which must be active for AGC to function. The first element is the Generating Facility AGC controller that enables or disables the overall availability of AGC. The second element is the GRU SCC AGC controller that will, upon notification from the GREC Operator that the Generating Facility AGC is enabled, activate AGC from the GRU SCC through to the Generating Facility. When AGC is “ON”, Dispatch will be conducted by the SCC. When AGC is “OFF”, Dispatch will typically be conducted through verbal instructions delivered by the SCC. 7.1 Once the Generating Facility reaches the load and other operating conditions that will allow it to ramp, the GREC Operator shall enable AGC (when AGC is enabled, the SCC will be sent a status signal indicating this). The GREC Operator shall contact the SCC via the GRU electronic operators’ log via IAM and verbally tell the SCC that the Facility is available for operation on AGC. At that time the SCC may turn “ON” AGC or give another Dispatch. 7.2 If AGC is turned “ON” by the GRU SCC, the Generating Facility output can be modulated between the minimum and maximum output as declared on the daily GREC PPA inputs via IAM. 7.3 During a shutdown of the GREC Facility, AGC will be turned “OFF” and the Facility shutdown will be performed by the GREC Operator.
