Common use of Contract Capacity Test Clause in Contracts

Contract Capacity Test. The Contract Capacity Test shall be conducted for the purpose of determining each Generating Unit’s and the Project’s net capacity corrected to Contract Conditions. The Contract Capacity shall be based on each of the Generating Units operating under steady state operation at one hundred percent (100%) capacity. The Contract Capacity Test shall be conducted generally in accordance with the ASME Performance Test Code (PTC) 22. The Project’s Delivered Energy shall be measured at the Energy Delivery Point, net of plant auxiliary loads, using the installed CAISO metering. The Contract Capacity Test shall consist of a four-hour test with all Generating Units at 100 percent capacity, steady-state operation. All auxiliary systems shall be operating as normally required for one hundred percent (100%) capacity at Contract Conditions. Emissions shall be in compliance as monitored by the CEMS. Electronic data shall be taken at time increments of no more than one minute and shall be corrected to the Contract Conditions. Manual data shall be taken at time increments of no more than ten minutes and shall be corrected to the Contract Conditions. The capacity of the Project during the Contract Capacity Test shall be determined as follows: the average Delivered Energy during each hour shall be corrected from test conditions during that hour to the Contract Conditions using performance correction curves and methods contained in the test procedures. The corrected hourly readings shall then be averaged to determine the Contract Capacity of the Project.
