SCHEDULE 3—INTERCONNECTION PROCESS,TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS,AND OPERATING PROCEDURES Step 6 Final Go-No Go Decision (By Applicant) In this step, the Applicant shall again have the opportunity to indicate whether or not they want to proceed with the proposed generation interconnection. If the decision is NOT to proceed, the Applicant will notify the Area EPS Generation Interconnection Coordinator, so that other generation interconnections in the queue are not adversely impacted. Should the Applicant decide to proceed, a more detailed design, if not already completed by the Applicant, must be done, and the following information is to be supplied to the Area EPS Generation Interconnection Coordinator: 1) Applicable up-front payment required by the Area EPS,per Payment Schedule, provided in Step 5.(if applicable) 2) Signed Interconnection Agreement(if applicable). 3) Final proposed schedule,incorporating the Area EPS comments.The schedule of the project should include such milestones as foundations poured,equipment delivery dates,all conduit installed,cutover(energizing of the new switchgear/transfer switch),Area EPS work, relays set and tested,preliminary vendor testing,final Area EPS acceptance testing,and any other major milestones. 4) Detailed one-line diagram of the Generation System,including the generator,transfer switch/switchgear,service entrance, lockable and visible disconnect,metering,protection and metering CT's/VT's,protective relaying and generator control system. 5) Detailed information on the proposed equipment,including wiring diagrams,models and types. 6) Proposed relay settings for all interconnection required relays. 7) Detailed site plan of the Generation System. 8) Drawing(s)showing the monitoring system(as required per table 5A and section 5 of the "State of Minnesota Distributed Generation Interconnection Requirements". Including a drawing which shows the interface terminal block with the Area EPS monitoring system. 9) Proposed testing schedule and initial procedure,including; a) Time of day(after-hours testing required?). b) Days required. c) Testing steps proposed. Step 7 Final Design Review (By Area EPS) Within 15 business days of receipt of the information required in Step 6, The Area EPS Generation Interconnection Coordinator will provide the Applicant with an estimated time table for final review. If the information required in Step 6 is not complete, the Applicant will be notified, within 10 business days of what information is missing. No further review may be completed until the missing information is submitted. The 15-business day clock will restart with the new submittal. This final design review shall not take longer than 15 additional business days to complete, for a total of 30 business days. Interconnection Process for Distributed Generatip7 Systems
