  CHAPTER I--FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
PART 287_RULES GENERALLY APPLICABLE TO POWERPLANT AND INDUSTRIAL FUEL 
USE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 287.101  Determination of powerplant design capacity.




    Authority: Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C. 7107 et 
seq.; Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978, Pub. L. 95-620.


    For the purpose of section 103 of the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel 
Use Act of 1978, a powerplant's design capacity shall be determined as 
follows:
    (a) Steam-electric generating unit. The design capacity of a steam-
electric generating unit shall be maximum generator nameplate rating 
measured in kilowatts or, if the nameplate does not have a rating 
measured in kilowatts, the product of the generator's kilovolt-amperes 
nameplate rating and power factor nameplate rating.
    (b) Combustion turbine. The design capacity of a combusition turbine 
shall be its nameplate rating measured in kilowatts, adjusted for 
peaking service at an ambient temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 
degrees Celsius) and at the unit's site elevation.
    (c) Combined cycle unit. The design capacity of a combined cycle 
shall be the sum of its combustion turbine nameplate rating measured in 
kilowatts, based on baseload operation adjusted for site elevation, and 
the maximum generator nameplate rating measured in kilowatts of the 
steam turbine portion of the unit.
    (d) Internal combustion engine. The design capacity of an internal 
combustion engine shall be the generator's nameplate rating measured in 
kilowatts.
