than 30% of Dependable Capacity as adjusted to Reference Conditions, but in no case
can such step change result in operation of the Facility below 30% of Dependable
Capacity. After such a step change the Facility load must be held constant for at least
30 minutes for stabilization purposes. Load ramping rates for such step changes in
Dispatch load shall follow the manufactures recommended load ramping rate(s).
(c) The Facility minimum continuous loading shall be the 3 0 % of the Facility‟s
Dependable Capacity, when the Facility is in operation. Beyond that the load of the

than 12 hours and engines are running on 100% load.
Note: Stream Turbine shall be shut down if plant load factor is less than 30%

G.1.4 Frequency, Power Factor and Voltage Limits
(a) At rated voltage and frequency, the Facility will operate at 100% load with a power
factor in the range 0.85 lagging to 0.95 leading at the Delivery Point, which range shall
not be exceeded. The curves from the manufacture(s) showing the Reactive Power
capability of the generators form part of Schedule 2.

Frequency Range (Hz) Minimum Sustainable Operation
48.5 to 51.5 Continuous
47.5 to 48.5 10 minutes
Less than 47.5 Trip Condition
Greater than 51.5 Trip Condition
Figure 1: Engine Manufacturer Permissible frequency limits in grid parallel operation
Figure 1 show that the maximum continuous engine output is ensured at a mains grid
frequency exceeding up to max. +4%, whereas at a frequency drop to max. -5%, the power
output is continuously reduced to 96% MCR. We permit operation of the engines up to +5%
frequency fluctuations for maximum 120 seconds. In any case, the maximum permissible
mains grid frequency deviation is ±5%. In grid parallel operation, the frequency of the grid
varies according to the current consumer load and the input from power suppliers.
