Capacity Testing. Capacity test results will be corrected to the rated conditions (the "Output Rated Conditions") applicable to the Guaranteed Output for such Project, as set forth, (a) in the case of an Initial Project, in Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement; or (b) in the case of a Subsequent Project, in the Project Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Credit Agreement for such Project. The demonstrated net output of the Project will be as measured by the test metering system and corrected to such Project's Output Rated Conditions. PTC 46 correction curves will be produced by SCS using a GateCycle computer model, created from design input provided by the equipment vendors. Combustion turbine evaporative coolers, HRSG ductburners and power augmentation steam injection will be in service. Net unit capacity will be corrected from test to design conditions for the following parameters as required by PTC 46: Ambient Dry Bulb Temperature Ambient Humidity (or wet bulb temperature) Barometric Pressure (or elevation) HRSG Blowdown Flow Condenser Makeup Flow and Temperature Fuel Temperature (upstream of fuel heaters) Power Factor (each generator) Abnormal Auxiliary Power Loads Abnormal Fuel Properties Abnormal Unit Operating Conditions Heat Rate Testing: ----------------- Heat rate test results will be corrected to the rated operating conditions (the "Heat Rate Rated Conditions") applicable to the Guaranteed Heat Rate for such Project, as set forth, (a) in the case of an Initial Project, in Schedule IV to the Credit Agreement; or (b) in the case of a Subsequent Project, in the Project Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Credit Agreement for such Project. The demonstrated net heat rate of the Project will be as measured by the test metering system and corrected to such Project's Heat Rate Rated Conditions. PTC 46 heat rate correction curves will be produced by SCS using a GateCycle computer model, created from design input provided by the equipment vendors. Combustion turbine evaporative coolers will be in service or appropriate corrections will be applied. HRSG ductburners and power augmentation will be out of service. Net unit heat rate will be corrected from test to design conditions for the following parameters, as required by PTC 46:
Capacity Testing. (a) Seller shall provide the Department at least seven (7) Days’ notice if Seller intends to conduct a capacity test. Any capacity test may be conducted during the course of regular operations or during a test conducted for the purpose. The Department shall have the right to have one or more representatives observe such capacity tests. In the event that Seller elects to perform a capacity test during a period that the Department has not otherwise elected to Dispatch the Facility, the Department shall issue a Dispatch Notice for purposes of the capacity test that calls for at least six consecutive Full Load operating hours and shall schedule operation of the Facility with the CAISO. The Department will pay Seller for Net Electrical Output delivered during any capacity test as provided in Article X.
Capacity Testing. Buyer shall have the right to request a re-determination of the Summer Dependable Capacity and the Winter Dependable Capacity through a Capacity Demonstratio n Test, at Buyer’s expense, up to four (4) times during the Delivery Termtwice each Contract Year at any time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Seller. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to schedule Capacity Demonstration Tests during periods when Buyer has Dispatched the Unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capacity Demonstration Tests shall not be conducted during a period of forced Outage, a Force Majeure event or Scheduled Planned Maintenance without the consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Summer Dependable Capacity and the Winter Dependable Capacity determined pursuant to a Capacity Demonstration Test shall become the new Summer Dependable Capacity and the Winter Dependable Capacity following such testing.
