SCHEDULE 3—INTERCONNECTION PROCESS,TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS,AND OPERATING PROCEDURES <br /> Step 4 Engineerina Studies (By Area EPS) <br /> In this step, the Area EPS Operator will be completing the specialized engineering studies for the <br /> proposed generation interconnection, as outlined in Step 2. These studies should be completed <br /> in the time frame provided in step 2, by the Area EPS. It is expected that the Area EPS Operator <br /> shall make all reasonable efforts to complete the Engineering Studies within the time frames <br /> shown below. If additional time is required to complete the engineering studies the Generation <br /> Interconnection Coordinator shall notify the Applicant and provide the reasons for the time <br /> extension. Upon receipt of written notice to proceed, payment of applicable fee, and receipt of all <br /> engineering study information requested by the Area EPS Operator in step 2, the Area EPS <br /> Operator shall initiate the engineering studies. <br /> Generation System Size Engineering Study Completion <br /> <_40kW 20 working days <br /> >40kW 30—90 working days <br /> Once it is known by the Area EPS Operator that the actual costs for the engineering studies will <br /> exceed the estimated amount by more the 25%, then the Applicant shall be notified. The Area <br /> EPS Operator shall then provide the reason(s)for the studies needing to exceed the original <br /> estimated amount and provide an updated estimate of the total cost for the engineering studies. <br /> The Applicant shall be given the option of either withdrawing the application, or paying the <br /> additional estimated amount to continue with the engineering studies. <br /> Step 5 Study Results and Construction Estimates (By Area EPS) <br /> Upon completion of the specialized engineering studies, or if none was necessary, the following <br /> information will be provided to the Applicant. <br /> 1) Results of the engineering studies,if needed. <br /> 2) Monitoring&control requirements for the proposed generation. <br /> 3) Special protection requirements for the Generation System interconnection. <br /> 4) Comments on the schedule proposed by the Applicant. <br /> 5) Distributed Generation distribution constrained credits available <br /> 6) Interconnection Agreement(if applicable). <br /> 7) Cost estimate and payment schedule for required Area EPS work,including,but not limited <br /> to; <br /> a) Labor costs related to the final design review. <br /> b) Labor&expense costs for attending meetings <br /> c) Required Dedicated Facilities and other Area EPS modification(s). <br /> d) Final acceptance testing costs. <br /> Interconnection Process for Distributed Generatiy Systems <br />
