Load Curtailment Avoidance Sample Clauses
The Load Curtailment Avoidance clause is designed to minimize or prevent the reduction of electricity consumption (load curtailment) by a party under certain circumstances. In practice, this clause may specify the conditions under which a party must continue to use a minimum amount of power, or outline procedures to avoid curtailment requests from grid operators or utilities, such as during periods of high demand or grid instability. Its core function is to ensure operational continuity and protect the interests of parties who rely on consistent energy supply, thereby reducing the risk of business disruption or financial loss due to unexpected power reductions.
Load Curtailment Avoidance. The City shall not be responsible for flow which is released when there are no options available other than Firm Load Curtailment, including purchase of power from any source. This section is not intended to permit flow releases to meet the generation requirements resulting from any increase in Firm Load growth after the execution of this Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement, Firm Load shall mean the minimum amount of power which the City is obligated to provide from a combination of generation and contract resources for the use of its customers. A sample calculation is shown in Appendix A, Part 1.d.
Load Curtailment Avoidance. The City shall not be responsible for flow which is released when there are no options available other than Firm Load Curtailment" (Section 6.5.
Load Curtailment Avoidance. The City shall not be responsible for flow which is released when there are no options available other than Firm Load Curtailment" (Section 6.5.4.2) Assumptions: A power scheduler is calculating the spawning flow for a pink spawning day during which heating loads in Seattle are expected to be very high due to effects of an Arctic air mass in the area. The Seattle generating system is operating at maximum capacity. No secondary, exchange, or stored energy is available for acquisition and all firm contract rights are being exercised. Increased generation at the Skagit project is required to meet the load without curtailing power supplies to some firm power customers. The City can voluntarily increase flows at Newhalem up to the Maximum Spawning Flow which for pink salmon is 4000 cfs. Since the Sidestream Revised Skagit Fisheries Settlement Agreement page 63 Inflow is 2500 cfs, 4000 - 2500 = 1500 cfs is within the City's control. Therefore RDL = 5500 - 1500 = 4000 cfs. Actual Ross Discharge = 5,500 cfs RDF = 0 RDL = 4,000 cfs SS = 2,500 cfs TSS = 2,500 cfs ANF = 8,000 cfs Calculations: DSF = 8,000 - 4,000 - 0 = 4,000 cfs Conclusion: The Daily Spawning Flow is calculated as 4,000 cfs for that day.
