Operational Constraints Sample Clauses

Operational Constraints. Constraints on the operation of the Units or a Project that are needed to meet any requirement due to the HCP, regulations, laws, court orders, authority, safety, or Operating Agreements, or to minimize equipment wear, maintain equipment, or repair/replace equipment, or that are due to any other event or circumstance described in this Appendix A or in the Contract. Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA) – The agreement among Northwest parties for the coordinated operation of the Columbia River system on a seasonal and monthly basis. The PNCA defines the firm energy output of Rocky Reach and Rock Island as well as other rights and obligations, including provisional energy, interchange energy, in-lieu energy, and others defined in the contract. The PNCA does not allow resources above the head works of Bonneville Dam to be removed from coordination, and currently all Capacity and Energy of Rocky Reach and Rock Island are included in PNCA planning. PNCA serves as a settlement of the Federal Power Act Section 10(f) obligation to reimburse upstream Federal projects for energy gains as a result of the storage provided, as well as a FERC approved settlement among all Non-Federal parties for upstream benefit payments.

Operational Constraints. Limitations on the ability of the Transmission System to operate due to any system emergency, loading condition, or maintenance outage on the Transmission Provider facilities, or on facilities of an interconnected utility, that makes it prudent to reduce Transmission System loadings, whether or not all facilities are in service.

Operational Constraints. The operational constraints of the Unit(s) shall be those set forth in response to the RFO on Appendix F. Delivery Point The "Delivery Point" for any non-QF is a specified interconnection point on PG&E's transmission system (to be specified by Seller in Appendix F) within what is presently defined as NP15. The point of interconnection of the substation must be within the CAISO-controlled grid. For QFs, the "Delivery Point" (the point of interconnection) must be within PG&E's service territory (NP15 or ZP26). Seller shall be responsible for all costs related to upgrades to transmission facilities and construction of interconnection facilities required to interconnect the Unit(s) to the Delivery Point and enable Energy to be delivered to the grid at the Delivery Point, consistent with all standards and provisions set forth by the FERC, CAISO or any other applicable governing agency and the interconnecting transmission owner. Seller will be responsible for funding any upgrade(s) to the transmission network as required by the CAISO and be entitled to receive a funding return, if applicable, pursuant to its arrangements with, and the applicable tariffs of, the transmission owner and the CAISO. Regardless of whether PG&E is the interconnecting transmission owner, PG&E in its capacity as Buyer shall not be responsible for Seller's interconnection arrangements or costs. Seller shall be responsible for the costs of delivering its power to the Delivery Point consistent with all standards and provisions set forth by the FERC, CAISO or any other applicable governing agency or tariff. Seller shall be responsible for all costs related to upgrades to transmission facilities and construction of interconnection facilities required to interconnect the Unit(s) to the natural gas system and enable delivery of fuel to the Unit(s), consistent with all standards and provisions set forth by the FERC, CPUC, California Department of Transportation or any other applicable governing agency. (For non-gas facilities, Seller also shall be responsible for all fuel delivery facilities).

Operational Constraints. Where a Viterra Facility reaches its storage capacity for a particular Binned Grade or Grain, Viterra reserves the right to close the relevant segregation , however the Purchase Options will remain to allow for warehouse transfers to continue. The Client agrees that Viterra will not be liable for any loss suffered or incurred by the Client (or any third party) as a result of, or in connection with such matters. Definitions In this Schedule, unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms have the same meaning as in the Agreements. In this Schedule: Daily Cash means the Purchase Option under which a Buyer has bid to purchase Grain which is not necessarily classified as sustainable or supported by relevant appropriate Sustainable Accreditation. DPE System means Viterra’s Direct Price Entry (DPE) system enabling Clients to submit Purchase Options through the Ezigrain Website as described in this Schedule. Effective Date means the date on which the Client has selected or communicated to Viterra that a Purchase Option is to take effect. Effective Period means the period for which the Client, in its submission of a Purchase Option, requests the Purchase Option to be effective. Ezigrain or Ezigrain Website means ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇. Posted Price means the purchase price offered by the Client in a Purchase Option. Site means Viterra Facility. Sustainable Accreditation means documents required by a Client as communicated by that Client in order to classify Grain as able to be sold for Sustainable Cash.

Operational Constraints. Limitations on the ability of the Transmission Provider’s Transmission system to operate due to any system emergency, loading condition, or maintenance outage on the Transmission Provider facilities, or on facilities of an interconnected utility, that makes it prudent to reduce Transmission Provider’s Transmission system loadings, whether or not all facilities are in service. 1 Necessary equipment includes, but is not limited to, remote terminal units, metering, communications, telemetering and relaying equipment. 2 Data may include, but is not limited to, data pertaining to instantaneous Spinning and Non- Spinning Operating Reserves, heat rates, fuel costs and operational characteristics of designated resources, generation schedules for resources, interchange schedules, resource outputs, voltage schedules, flows of real and reactive power, loss factors, switch status, breaker status, megawatt (MW)/megaVAr flow on lines, bus voltages, transformer taps and other Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) and real-time data.

Operational Constraints. The direct approach to deal with operational constraints is to include all of them explicitly in the classical formulation of the problem. The most crucial of the operational constraints can be modelled as set packing constraints such that the problem can be tackled by constraint branching techniques. Another possibility is to model operational constraints by “virtual connections”, leading to disjunctive constraints. In both models, the number of variables and of constraints increases dramatically. Since our goal is to develop online and real-time algorithms, solving these extended models exactly is out of reach. The solution approach we investigate is based on the following notion of robustness. Instead of considering all operational constraints directly, we create a small set of more abstract constraints which are easier to handle and still capture the important aspects of all the operational constraints adequately. The resulting solution must then be modified by a heuristic to ensure feasibility with respect to all operational constraints. Two main tasks have hence to be solved. First, a representation of the operational constraints by a reasonably sized set of simplified constraints has to be derived. To this end, we try to identify dependencies of delays based on a statistical analysis of real world data. Second, an efficient procedure needs to be developed that finds solutions in the simplified model for which only few modifications are necessary, i.e., that satisfy most of the neglected constraints. One approach is to use methods of project planning where few disjunctive constraints can be modelled as alternative edges.

Operational Constraints. The Consultant shall take into consideration the Client’s operational requirements during the project implementation. The Consultant shall provide the works in a way not to interrupt the plant system activities or to minimize the outages. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the Schedule approved by the Client.

Operational Constraints. 10.1 It is recognized that the implementation of Program activities under this Agreement will in every case be dependent upon the availability of necessary resources.
