Performance Guarantee Tests
Appendix N4
Performance Testing Protocol
1.3.1.
Project Base Electric Output and Net Heat Rate
The Guaranteed Base Net Electrical Output and the Guaranteed Net Heat Rate tests shall be run concurrently.. The tests shall be conducted under the following operating conditions (the “Base
Load Conditions”), as applicable:

Combustion turbines operating on their base load temperature control curve with evaporative coolers out of service

Reciprocating engines operating at base load as defined by the engine manufacturer for the expected interval between maintenance periods for normal duty operation.

Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG’s) operating with zero duct firing and normal blowdown.

All other equipment and systems operating as normally required for base load operation on a continuous operating basis.

Steady-state operating conditions.

Plant auxiliary equipment operated as normally required for base load operation on a continuous operating basis.

All Project auxiliary power consumption, including miscellaneous house loads supplied from the electric generators. No auxiliary load may be served from other on-site generators or interconnection with the local distribution system.
Emissions shall not exceed the Guaranteed Emissions Limits at any time during the test.
Equipment disposition for normal operation at ISO Conditions and Site Standard Barometric
Pressure (as defined in Appendix N3) shall be specified in the performance test procedures. All equipment shall be operated in accordance with the performance test procedures during the test.
Intermittent auxiliary power loads shall be measured under normal operating conditions and the daily average electrical energy consumption calculated based on the actual daily use at Base Load
Conditions. Intermittent loads should not be operated during the test, if possible. If operation is required, the electric energy consumption shall be measured during each test period.
The performance test will be performed without evaporative coolers in service. A separate effectiveness test will be performed to demonstrate the evaporative cooler performance. The test without the evaporative coolers in service will be the basis for determining guaranteed plant performance requirements.
During the performance test, the stack exhaust emissions shall be monitored for compliance using the Project continuous emissions monitoring system or via manual sampling. The continuous emission monitoring system shall be certified using the manual sampling data either before or during the performance test.
The tests will be conducted in accordance with the performance test procedures and in general accordance with ASME PTC 46. Any exceptions to the requirements of PTC 46 shall be identified in the performance test procedures. The performance test procedures shall be developed by Seller and approved by Purchaser.
The test shall be designed to achieve test uncertainties that are no greater than 0.75% for net electric output and 1.25% for net heat rate (collectively, “the Maximum Uncertainties”). The performance test procedures shall include a pre-test uncertainty analysis that demonstrates the test

Appendix N4
Performance Testing Protocol procedures and test instrumentation will achieve test uncertainties below the Maximum
Uncertainties.
The test shall consist of at least three consecutive one-hour test periods during which all conditions are maintained within the conditions specified in performance test procedures and with post-test uncertainties less than the respective Maximum Uncertainties for both net electric output and net heat rate. Test results will be averaged and corrected to specified conditions for each onehour test period.
The higher heating value of the fuel will be the basis for the heat input used in the calculation of heat rate. The higher heating value will be determined by samples, taken near the beginning and end of each test period. The fuel heating value for each test period will be the average of the two samples. The fuel samples will be analyzed by an independent laboratory for composition and heating value. A minimum of three samples will be taken for each test period. Disposition of samples will be; 1) to test laboratory, 2) to Seller, and 3) to Purchaser until Performance Test results are approved by all parties.
The ambient air conditions shall be measured to determine the average conditions at the inlet to each combustion turbine and the inlet to each cooling tower or air cooled condenser.
The measured net electrical output shall be the average of the electrical energy as measured at the
CAISO revenue meter for each test period.
The measured net electrical output shall be adjusted for the following differences between the actual measured auxiliary electric energy consumption and the average design-basis auxiliary energy consumption at base load operation and at ISO Conditions and Site Standard Barometric
Pressure (adjusted net electrical output):

Any equipment operation different from the expected operating disposition at ISO Conditions and Site Standard Barometric Pressure, as defined in the performance test procedures.

Differences between the intermittent loads average daily electric energy consumption and the actual intermittent load electric energy consumption as measured during the test.


Natural gas fuel flow will be measured using the Project revenue meter, unless otherwise agreed to in the test procedures. Fuel-oil flow will be measured using a calibrated flow element meeting the instrument and measurement accuracy requirements of PTC 46. The measured net heat rate will be calculated as the quotient of the total heat input to the Project divided by the adjusted net electrical output for each test period.
The test corrected net electric output and test corrected heat rate for each test period will be calculated by correcting the adjusted net electric output and measured net heat rate for the following:

The test corrected base net heat rate of the Project for evaluation of the performance guarantees will be the arithmetic average of the test corrected net heat rates for the three test periods.
1.3.2.
Base Reliability Test
The reliability test will be conducted for 168 consecutive hours (7 Days) with all Units operating at base load conditions with no duct firing or power augmentation. The Plant net electric output will be the electric energy as measured using the CAISO revenue meter. For each of the 168 consecutive one-hour test periods, the average net electric output will be corrected to the ISO
Conditions at Site Standard Barometric Pressure and to a power factor of 1.0. The Availability, expressed as an percentage, will be calculated by the quantity 100 divided by 168 and multiplied by the quantity of the sum of the corrected average net electric outputs for the 168 hours divided by the Demonstrated Net Electric Output.
The test corrected net electric output will be set equal to the Demonstrated Net Electric Output for any hours during which:

The test corrected net electric output is greater than the Demonstrated Net Electric Output,

Purchaser or CAISO dispatch order requires the Project to reduce net electric output and the
Project successfully maintains such load

Other Force Majeure events that cause a reduction in the net electric output and the Project successfully maintains such load.
If Purchaser or CAISO directs the Project or one of the Units to be shutdown, the test will be stopped and restarted after the Project or Unit returns to service at base load. The test will continue as if the interruption had not occurred (i.e. the 168 hours will be the sum of results of all completed hours before the shutdown plus the required additional hours after the restart).
Emissions shall not exceed the Guaranteed Emissions Limits at any time during the test.

1.3.4.
Extended Guaranteed Electric Output and Heat Rate
The Extended Guarantee Electric Output and Extended Guarantee Heat Rate test will be conducted using the same test procedures and the same general requirements specified herein for the Project Base Electric Output and Heat Rate Test. In addition to the corrections for auxiliary power and ambient conditions, the net electric output and heat rate will be corrected for equipment degradation by the following methodology:

The adjusted net electric output and measured net heat rate will be corrected for the difference between the expected degradation for the cumulative equivalent operating hours at the time of the Extended Guarantee tests and the expected degradation for the cumulative equivalent operating hours at the time of the final Base Electrical Output and Net Heat Rate test used in the Article 3.5 determination of the purchase price reductions for performance shortfalls. Expected degradation for net electric output and heat rate shall be calculated using the Appendix N3, Attachment O3-j Degradation Curves, as developed by Seller and approved by Purchaser. These degradation curves shall be based on heat balances developed by Seller using the turbine or reciprocating engine manufacturer’s degradation information and the design-basis performance of the Plant.
