SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br /> limited thought use of control systems, power relays or similar device settings or adjustments <br /> as identified in IEEE 1547. The nameplate ratings referenced in the Interconnection Process are <br /> alternating current nameplate DER ratings at the Point of DER Coupling. <br /> Network Upgrades—Additions, modifications, and upgrades to the Transmission System <br /> required at or beyond the point at which the DER interconnects with the Area EPS Operator's <br /> System to accommodate the interconnection with the DER to the Area EPS Operator's System. <br /> Network Upgrades do not include Distribution Upgrades. <br /> Operating Requirements—Any operating and technical requirements that may be applicable <br /> due to the Transmission Provider's technical requirements or Minnesota Technical <br /> Requirements, including those set forth in the Interconnection Agreement. <br /> Party or Parties—The Area EPS Operator and the Interconnection Customer. <br /> Point of Common Coupling (PCC)—The point where the Interconnection Facilities connect with <br /> the Area EPS Operator's Distribution System. See figure 1. Equivalent, in most cases, to "service <br /> point" as specified by the Area EPS Operator and described in the National Electrical Code and <br /> the National Electrical Safety Code. <br /> Area Electric Power System(Area EPS) <br /> Point of Common I <br /> upling(PCC) r-�PCC X PCC <br /> Po111 <br /> C PoC PoC <br /> 5.1 <br /> PoC <br /> Distributed Distributed s.
