Common use of Performance Test Procedures Clause in Contracts

Performance Test Procedures. Each Performance Test shall be conducted in general accordance with [ASME Performance Test Code 46 for Combined Cycle facilities, ASME Performance Test Code 22 for simple cycle Gas Turbine facilities or ASME Performance Test Code 17 for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine facilities, depending on the technology of the Facility], and in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsections (i) through (xi) below, including additional procedures and protocols related to Performance Testing as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller (“Test Procedures”). (i) Meteorological equipment used for Performance Testing shall include the same equipment as specified in Section 3.7(f). (ii) The Performance Test shall consist of six (6) one-half-hour test periods (the “Test Period”) at one hundred percent (100%) of Base Load with all turbines operating simultaneously [and six (6) one-half-hour test periods with all turbines operating simultaneously with duct firing “Peak Load”, if applicable]. [Language is for a combined cycle facility. For simple cycle facilities, test each turbine individually. For facilities other than simple cycle or combined cycle technology, specify the applicable test requirements. Facilities that have multiple operating modes may be subject to additional testing requirements as necessary to test the full range of capability of the Units.] For each one-half-hour test period, the data will be averaged and adjusted both to ISO Conditions as well as Peak July Conditions. (iii) The Units shall be operated in steady state with all equipment in normal operating service. (iv) The Energy output of the Units during the Performance Test shall be measured by the Electric Revenue Meter at the Electrical Delivery Point. (v) The Capacity of a Unit as demonstrated by a Performance Test (“Tested Capacity”) shall be the metered Capacity, net of auxiliary loads and station use, of such Unit per hour (measured in megawatts), adjusted to ISO Conditions by using standard and accepted engineering methods. [Note: for Facilities with duct firing, the Tested Capacity is demonstrated up to Peak Load. For Facilities without duct firing, the Tested Capacity is demonstrated up to one hundred percent (100%)
