SCHEDULE 3—INTERCONNECTION PROCESS,TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS,AND OPERATING PROCEDURES <br /> 7. Agreements <br /> A)Interconnection Agreement —This agreement is required for all Generation Systems that parallel with the <br /> Area EPS. Each Area EPS's tariffs contain standard interconnection agreements. There are different <br /> interconnection agreements depending upon the size and type of Generation System. This agreement <br /> contains the terms and conditions upon which the Generation System is to be connected, constructed and <br /> maintained, when operated in parallel with the Area EPS.Some of the issues covered in the interconnection <br /> agreement are as follows; <br /> i) Construction Process <br /> ii)Testing Requirements <br /> iii) Maintenance Requirements <br /> iv) Firm Operating Requirements such as Power Factor <br /> v)Access requirements for the Area EPS personnel <br /> vi) Disconnection of the Generation System(Emergency and Non-emergency) <br /> vii)Term of Agreement <br /> viii) Insurance Requirements <br /> ix) Dispute Resolution Procedures <br /> B)Operating Agreement — For Generation Systems that normally operate in parallel with the Area EPS, an <br /> agreement separate from the interconnection agreement, called the "operating agreement", is usually <br /> created. This agreement is created for the benefit of both the Interconnection Customer and the Area EPS <br /> operator and will be agreed to between the Parties. This agreement will be dynamic and is intended to be <br /> updated and reviewed annually. For some smaller systems, the operating agreement can simply be a letter <br /> agreement for larger and more intergraded Generation Systems the operating agreement will tend to be <br /> more involved and more formal. The operating agreement covers items that are necessary for the reliable <br /> operation of the Local and Area EPS. The items typically included in the operating agreement are as follows; <br /> i) Emergency and normal contact information for both the Area EPS operations center and for the <br /> Interconnection Customer <br /> ii) Procedures for periodic Generation System test runs. <br /> iii) Procedures for maintenance on the Area EPS that affect the Generation System. <br /> iv) Emergency Generation Operation Procedures <br /> Interconnection Process for Distributed Genera/Dr/Systems <br />
