Technological Change Procedure. At any time prior to the return of the executed Interconnection Facility Study Agreement to Transmission Provider, Interconnection Customer may request a modification under this Section 4.4.6, for incorporation of a technological advancement into its Generating Facility. To complete that request, Interconnection Customer shall submit the following to Transmission Provider:
1) A written technological advancement request, specifying the change in technology Interconnection Customer seeks to incorporate into its Interconnection Request;
2) A $10,000 deposit;
3) An updated version of the Interconnection Request for a Large Generating Facility, found in Appendix 1 of this LGIP, that reflects the data associated with the change in technology that Interconnection Customer seeks to incorporate;
4) Any analysis Interconnection Customer has that demonstrates how incorporation of the proposed technological advancement would (i) result in electrical performance that is equal to or better than the electrical performance expected prior to the technological change, and (ii) not cause any reliability concerns; and,
5) To the extent applicable, updated modeling data in PowerWorld or GE PSLF format, or in such other format as Transmission Provider may agree to accept. Once the technological advancement request, deposit, and additional data are received by Transmission Provider, Transmission Provider will evaluate whether the technological advancement is a Material Modification or whether further study is necessary to complete the analysis of whether the technological advancement is a Material Modification. If Transmission Provider determines that the proposed technological advancement is permissible, then no study will be necessary, the proposed advancement will not be considered a Material Modification, and Interconnection Customer’s deposit will be refunded. Should further studies be required, Transmission Provider’s studies may include steady-state, reactive power, short circuit/fault duty, stability analyses, and any other appropriate studies that Transmission Provider deems necessary to determine whether the technological advancement results in electrical performance that is equal to or better than the electrical performance expected prior to the technology change, and whether such technological advancement causes any reliability concerns. In addition, Transmission Provider’s studies may include any additional environmental studies that Transmission Provider deems nece...
