7.4.3 Technical Assessment If a technical assessment is required to verify if the electrical characteristics of the Generating Unit are substantially unchanged, the CAISO will work with the Participating TO to draft a study plan for the technical assessment. The assessment plan will indicate: The assessment and studies that will need to be completed; Study cost estimates; Schedule; Project and interconnection information; Study assumptions; and Data provided by the repowering applicant to be used for assessment of the repowered Generating Unit. The CAISO will forward this plan, along with an assessment (study) agreement to the repowering applicant within ten (10) business days of receiving complete technical data. It is anticipated that the repowering assessment will take approximately ninety (90) calendar days to complete once the CAISO has determined that all informational requirements have been satisfied. 7.4.4 Verification Assessment Analysis To determine if the total capability and/or electrical characteristics of the repowered Generating Unit are substantially unchanged, such assessment may include, but is not limited to, the following analyses: Dynamic stability assessment under both no-disturbance and critical contingency conditions; Post transient governor power flow analyses under critical contingencies; Short circuit duty study; For asynchronous units, reactive requirements study; An assessment to determine if an interconnection facilities study agreement is needed to determine if existing facilities meet current standards; and An examination of net qualifying capacity that will be modeled in the CAISO’s generator deliverability assessment. 7.4.5 Results Upon completion of the assessment, a report will be drafted by the CAISO and Participating TO and sent to the repowering applicant for review and discussion. Once the draft assessment report has been finalized, a final report will be prepared and sent to all parties. The CAISO will schedule a results meeting within five (5) business days if desired by the repowering applicant. Request Meets Repowering Criteria, No Additional Study Needed - If the assessment concludes that the capability and electrical characteristics of the Generating Unit are substantially unchanged and the interconnection facilities meet current standards and no additional interconnection facilities or modifications to existing facilities are needed to support the
