The contractual availability definition in the owner report is the same used
throughout 2002 and implements the contractual availability definition upon
which annual availability warranty calculations are based. Contractual
availability is defined (Survey - DT -RT -MT - LOT)/(Survey - LOT -
MTprorated) where Survey is the maximum possible number of hours in the
calendar period and MTprorated is the percent of the 48 hours of maintenance
per year credit that can be taken credit for. DT, RT, MT, and LOT are
controller counters that accumulate the hours, to the nearest second, that
the turbine is in a downtime fault, repairtime, maintenance time, or line out
condition. The DT, RT, MT, and LOT values are corrected for communication
loss at the beginning and ending of the time period of interest. The
correction is based on counter values in the next or previous time interval
and is not based on an assumed 90% of communication loss rule.

I assume that Mr Marshall means wind direction curtailment by his phrase
"columnar shut-down". The wind direction curtailment is not yet implemented
in the field and therefore there are no downtime losses. The curtailment
info sent earlier by Mark Fisher was "utility" and not "wind direction
curtailment".

W.C. Marshall, as per the note below, has already provided the availability
figures for Jan and Feb 2002.

The performance testing results must come from Engineering. System
Performance Group is not involved.

The transfer function to compute m/s windspeed for the NRG #40 anemometers is
(0.765*Hz)+0.35.

Can you help me find the following information for Peter Simpson. ?I have
attached the April Status Report which should answer the Jan and Feb
availability question.




Renee.............Kurt may need to know what availability and wind speed data
was sent to Peter.


The following information would also be helpful:

- definition of the availability figure given in the monthly
availability report, in particular the definition of the numerator shown
in the spreadsheet;

- duration of down-time due to columnar shut-down;

- availability figures for January and February 2002;

- if available, any results from performance testing undertaken to date;

- the transfer functions that have been applied to the wind speed data
provided.


Regards,

Peter Simpson
