Common use of Power Runback Performance Clause in Contracts

Power Runback Performance. During contingency conditions power transfers may need to be reduced substantially and rapidly. The action of reducing the power transfer in response to an externally provided trigger is called power runback. The design of the Merchant Transmission Facility shall allow for pre-programmed power runback levels. Runback execution shall not require a reversal of power direction. When transition to a specified or predetermined runback level is requested, power shall be reduced to the programmed runback level at a programmable rate no less than 500 ms. The available runback rates shall allow runback to be completed as fast as 500 ms from the receipt of the runback signal by the Merchant Transmission Facility system. (The runback levels are maximum power limits; if the Merchant Transmission Facility is dispatched to less than the runback level at the time of runback command, no power change is necessary.) If a runback level of less than 60MW is specified, the Merchant Transmission Facility will be allowed to trip upon receipt of the runback signal. To the extent runback or special protection systems are required; Developer shall be responsible for obtaining the appropriate approvals and is responsible for all systems costs including maintenance. Any runback or special protection systems shall conform to applicable Connecting Transmission Owner, NYISO, and NPCC standards, as applicable.
