SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS 1 Applicability 1.1. Capacity Limit The Simplified Process only is applicable to certified inverter-based Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems with the capacity of 20 kW AC or less. The capacity is determined by the aggregated summation of the Nameplate Rating of the inverters that make up the DER system. Additional information regarding the capacity limits can be seen in Section 6 of the Process Overview document. 1.2. Certified Inverters A certified inverter will have certification of meeting the current version of the IEEE standard 1547. A common inverter certification is UL 1741. Note that certified inverters may still need to have a setting adjusted to meet the technical requirements of the Area EPS Operator. Additional information regarding certified equipment is found in Section 14 and Section 15 of the Process Overview document. 2 Application Submission 2.1. Simplified Process Application The Interconnection Customer shall complete the Simplified Interconnection Application and submit it to the Area EPS Operator to initialize the Interconnection Process. A completed Simplified Interconnection Application will include the following: • A completed Simplified Interconnection Application signed by the Interconnection Customer, • A non-refundable processing fee of$100, • An aerial site layout drawing of the proposed DER system, • A one-line diagram of the proposed DER system showing the point of common coupling, PCC, to the Area EPS Operator's Distribution System, and • All certified equipment manufacturer specification sheets. 2.2. Battery Storage An inverter-based DER system may include battery storage. DER systems that include battery storage must also complete the Energy Storage Application with the Simplified Interconnection Application. 1 167
