Common use of Scope of Interconnection System Reliability Impact Study Clause in Contracts

Scope of Interconnection System Reliability Impact Study. The SRIS shall evaluate the impact of the proposed interconnection on the reliability of the New York State Transmission System. The SRIS shall be conducted in accordance with Applicable Reliability Standards. The SRIS will consider the Base Case, and if not already included in the Base Case, all generating and merchant transmission facilities (and with respect to (iii) below, any identified System Upgrade Facilities associated with such higher queued interconnection and, if security or cash has been posted in accordance with Attachment S, System Deliverability Upgrades, except for Highway facility upgrades that have not yet been triggered under Section 25.7.12.3.1 of Attachment S) that, on the date the SRIS scope is approved by the Operating Committee: (i) are directly interconnected to the New York State Transmission System or to the Distribution System; (ii) are interconnected to Affected Systems and may have an impact on the Interconnection Request; (iii) have accepted their cost allocation for System Upgrade Facilities and posted security for such System Upgrade Facilities in accordance with Attachment S; and (iv) have no Queue Position but have executed a Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement or requested that an unexecuted Standard Large Generator Interconnection Agreement be filed with FERC. Certain changes have been made, effective January 17, 2010, to the Base Case requirements for Interconnection System Reliability Impact Studies. These changed requirements will be applied prospectively to projects with study scopes for a System Reliability Impact Study approved by the Operating Committee on or after that effective date; provided, however, that Developers with a System Reliability Impact Study in progress and a study scope approved by the Operating Committee prior to that effective date may elect, at their own expense, to modify the Base Case assumptions for that study consistent with the changed requirements. Such an election will be memorialized in a revised study scope subject to the approval of the Operating Committee and, to the extent necessary, an amended System Reliability Impact Study Agreement. The SRIS will consist of a short circuit analysis, a stability analysis, and a power flow analysis. The SRIS will state the assumptions upon which it is based; state the results of the analyses; and provide the requirements or potential impediments to providing Energy Resource Interconnection Service, including a preliminary indication of the cost and length of time that would be necessary to correct any problems identified in those analyses and implement the interconnection. The SRIS will provide a list of facilities that are required as a result of the Interconnection Request and a nonbinding good faith estimate of cost responsibility and a non-binding good faith estimated time to construct. The NYISO Operating Committee shall approve the specific study scope proposed for each SRIS. At Developer’s option, and subject to an additional $30,000 SRIS deposit, the SRIS may include a preliminary evaluation of the Large Facility under the Deliverability Interconnection Standard if the Large Facility elected both Energy Resource Interconnection Service and Capacity Resource Interconnection Service in its Interconnection Request. Such preliminary deliverability evaluation will state the assumptions upon which it is based; state the results of the preliminary analyses; identify potential System Deliverability Upgrades at a high level; and provide preliminary System Deliverability Upgrade cost estimates which may be based on generic information. To the extent the project subsequently elects to proceed to a Class Year Interconnection Facilities Study, the portion of the Class Year Interconnection Facilities Study costs attributable to the Class Year Deliverability Study would not be offset by any expenses paid by the Developer for a preliminary deliverability evaluation in its SRIS.
