Ramping definition

Ramping means changing the production of a generating source asset or consumption of a load sink asset, and begins at the effective time specified in the most current dispatch and continues until the time the generating source asset or load sink asset has reached the MW specified in the dispatch, plus or minus the allowable dispatch variance for that generating source asset or load sink asset.

Examples of Ramping in a sentence

• If Owner has disputed a Dispatch Notice under Section 4.6 (i) (Minimum Load) (ii) (Minimum Run Time) (iii) (Minimum Off Time) (iv) (Start-up Lead Time and Ramping constraint), or (v) (Unit Availability Limit) and such dispute is not resolved prior to the time for delivery, Owner will use reasonable efforts to comply with the Dispatch Notice, but shall not be liable to CAISO if it is unable to do so and Owner prevails in the dispute.

• If Owner has disputed a Dispatch Notice under Section 4.6 (i) (Minimum Load) (ii) (Minimum Run Time) (iii) (Minimum Off Time) (iv) (Start-up Lead Time and Ramping Constraint), or (v) (Unit Availability Limit) and such dispute is not resolved prior to the time for delivery, Owner will use reasonable efforts to comply with the Dispatch Notice, but shall not be liable to CAISO if it is unable to do so and Owner prevails in the dispute.

Ramping means “ramping”, as defined in the ISO Glossary.

Ramping means those Project-induced increases (“up-ramping”) and decreases (“down-ramping”) in river discharge and associated changes in water surface elevation over time caused for the purpose of generating electricity in Project facilities or for Project maintenance. Ramping does not include changes in flows due to natural increases or decreases in stream flow or due to drafting or refilling of Lemolo Lake as permitted by this Agreement (but see limitations on changes in the elevation of the Wild and Scenic River reach below Soda Springs Dam caused by such events, set forth in Section 6.4.5). Ramping rates in this Agreement are stated in fractions of a foot change per hour or per day. The distance between the highest and lowest water level measured at the applicable gauging station shall not vary by more than that amount during the relevant time period, but may vary within that range one or more times. For example, if the relevant ramping limitation is 0.1 feet per hour, and 0.5 feet per day, and the river gauge is at 4.0 feet at noon, then during the next hour the water elevation may vary no more than between 3.9 and 4.0 feet, between 4.0 and 4.1 feet, or between 3.95 feet and 4.05 feet. In each example, the amount of change between the lower and upper gauge reading in a one-hour time period is not more than 0.1 feet, but could vary within that range more than once during such hour. At the end of any hour, the amount of change between the lower and upper gauge reading can be no greater than 0.5 feet during the previous 24-hour period, but could vary within that range more than once during such 24-hour period, subject to hourly limitations.
