INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES STUDY AGREEMENT,ATTACHMENT C <br /> LODI ENERGY CENTER <br /> the Generation Queue in PG&E's service territory whose schedules <br /> are concurrent with or precede the Project's schedule. <br /> 6. Power Flow Study Base Cases <br /> Two power flow base cases will be used to evaluate the feasibility of the <br /> proposed interconnection and the transmission system impacts on the <br /> CAISO Controlled Grid. While it is impractical to study all combinations of <br /> system load and generation levels during all seasons and at all times of <br /> the day, these two base cases represent extreme loading and generation <br /> conditions for the study area. <br /> The CAISO and PG&E cannot guarantee that the Project can operate at <br /> maximum rated output 24 hours a day, year round,without system <br /> impacts, nor can the CAISO and PG&E guarantee that the Project will not <br /> have system impacts during the times and seasons not studied in the <br /> IFAS. <br /> 2012 Summer Peak Full Loop Base Case <br /> Power flow analysis will be performed using PG&E's 2012 <br /> Summer Peak Full-Loop Base Case (in General Electric Power <br /> Flow format). This base case was developed from PG&E's 2007 <br /> base case series and has a 1-in-10 year extreme weather load <br /> level for PG&E's Stockton Division. <br /> 2012 Summer Off-Peak Full Loop Base Case <br /> Power flow analysis will also be performed using the 2012 Summer <br /> Off-Peak base case to evaluate potential congestion on <br /> transmission facilities during the Off-Peak system conditions. <br /> These two base cases will model all approved PG&E transmission <br /> reliability projects that will be operational by 2012. These base cases will <br /> also model all proposed generation projects that will be operational by <br /> 2012. However, some generation projects that are electrically far from the <br /> proposed Project will be either turned off or modeled with reduced <br /> generation to balance the loads and resources in the power flow model. <br /> The major generation projects included are shown in Attachment 1. <br /> 7. Detailed .nnection System Impact Study Scope <br /> This IFAS will determine the impact of the Project on the CAISO <br /> Controlled Grid. Specific studies are outlined below: <br /> 6 <br />
