Base load definition

Base load means the load level at which a gas turbine is normally operated.
Base load means: (i) as a mode of operation, operating for >4000hrs pa; and (ii) as a load, the maximum load under ISO conditions that can be sustained continuously, i.e. maximum continuous rating.
Base load means, when used in relation to a Unit, that the combustion turbine is operating on its base load temperature control curve with inlet cooling in service, as applicable to the ambient temperature conditions, and with zero power augmentation and zero duct firing.] [Applicable only to combined cycle facilities.]

Seasonal testing under the Definitive Agreement will be done to establish the maximum Capacity of the Units for the periods (1) June 1 through September 30 ("Summer Months") based on test results adjusted to July Peak Conditions (as defined below) and (2) January 1 through May 31 and October 1 through December 31 ("Non- Summer Months") based on test results adjusted to standard "ISO Conditions" (59°F and 60% relative humidity). "Peak July Conditions" are the conditions (temperature and humidity for the site) based on the average of the monthly maximum daily peak temperatures of the preceding 10 years for the month of July as provided by the National Climatic Data Center ("NCDC") at xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx/servlets/ULCD. Data from the NCDC should be for a geographically nearby weather station that approximates the conditions at the specific plant site. Buyer shall have the right to approve the weather station employed in the development of the Peak July Conditions.
