TITLE VOPERATIONAL NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE FOR CONNECTION
CHAPTER 2 Connection of new DC-connected power park modules
Article 64Limited operational notification for DC-connected power park modules
1.
DC-connected power park module owners to whom a FON has been granted shall inform the relevant system operator immediately in the following circumstances:
(a)
the DC-connected power park module is temporarily subject to either a significant modification or loss of capability, due to implementation of one or more modifications of significance to its performance; or
(b)
in case of equipment failures leading to non-compliance with some relevant requirements.
2.
The DC-connected power park module owner shall apply to the relevant system operator for a limited operational notification (LON), if the DC-connected power park module owner reasonably expects the circumstances detailed in paragraph 1 to persist for more than three months.
3.
A LON shall be issued by the relevant TSO with a clear identification of:
(a)
the unresolved issues justifying the granting of the LON;
(b)
the responsibilities and timescales for expected solution; and
(c)
a maximum period of validity which shall not exceed 12 months. The initial period granted may be shorter with the possibility for extension if evidence to the satisfaction of the relevant system operator demonstrating that substantial progress has been made towards achieving full compliance.
4.
The FON shall be suspended during the period of validity of the LON with regard to the subjects for which the LON has been issued.
5.
A further prolongation of the period of validity of the LON may be granted upon request for a derogation made to the relevant system operator, before the expiry of that period, in accordance with the derogation procedure described in Title VII.
6.
The relevant system operator may refuse the operation of the DC-connected power park module if the LON terminates and the circumstance which caused it to be issued remains. In such a case the FON shall automatically be invalid.
