Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) To
					 the extent that they are not inconsistent with the specific definitions in
					 subdivision (b) of this section, the general definitions of Parts 200, 201, and
					 Subpart 227-2 of this Title apply.
(b) For the purposes of this Subpart, the
					 following specific definitions apply:
(1)
Black start resource.
An electric generating unit used to bring a facility from
						shutdown to operational without reliance on external supplies or the electrical
						system.
(2)
Common
					 control.
Refers to two or more emission sources and/or electric
						storage and/or renewable generation resources that are under the control of a
						single corporate entity. The corporate entity must:
(i) have the right to decide when to operate
					 the plant; or
(ii) have the right
					 to enter into a power purchase agreement or other agreement with the entity
					 that owns the emission source and/or electric storage and/or renewable
					 generation resources and provides the necessary paperwork required under
					 section 227-3.3(b)  of this Subpart.
(3)
Electric storage
					 resource.
A resource capable of receiving electric energy from the
						grid and storing it for later injection of electric energy back to the
						grid.
(4)
Hydroelectric energy.
The conversion of potential and kinetic energy in the
						form of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy which drives
						turbines producing electricity.
(5)
MWh.
Megawatt hour of electricity.
(6)
NYISO.
New York independent system operator.
(7)
ORISPL.
Office of regulatory information systems plant code
						assigned by the energy information administration to electric generating
						units.
(8)
Ozone
					 season.
May 1st through September 30th of each calendar
						year.
(9)
Power
					 purchase agreement.
A contract between two entities pursuant to which one
						entity agrees to produce electricity, or some other power source, for the other
						entity over a defined period of time.
(10)
Renewable generation
					 resources.
Solar photovoltaic energy, wind energy, tidal energy or
						hydroelectric energy electricity generating systems.
(11)
Solar photovoltaic
					 energy.
Technology that directly converts the energy radiated by
						the sun as electromagnetic waves into electricity by means of solar
						panels.
(12)
Substation.
An area or group of equipment to transform power from one
						voltage to another or from one system to another.
(13)
Tidal energy.
The conversion of kinetic energy in the form of tide
						movement into mechanical energy which drives turbines connected to a generator
						to produce electricity.
(14)
Wind energy.
The conversion of kinetic energy in the form of wind or
						air flows into mechanical energy which drives turbines connected to a generator
						to produce electricity.
