SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br /> additional five (5) Business Days to review the additionally provided information for <br /> completeness. <br /> An Interconnection Application will be deemed complete upon submission to the Area <br /> EPS Operator provided all documents, fees and information required with the <br /> Interconnection Application adhering to Minnesota Technical Requirements is <br /> included.The time- and date- stamp of the completed Interconnection Application shall <br /> be accepted as the qualifying date for the purpose of establishing a queue position as <br /> described in Section 4.7 in the Overview Process document. <br /> The Area EPS Operator has a total of twenty-five (25) Business Days to complete the <br /> Interconnection Application review and submit notice back to the Interconnection <br /> Customer stating the proposed DER system may proceed with the interconnection <br /> process or a supplemental review offer is to be made or the proposed DER system has <br /> been moved into a different process track. The period of time when waiting for the <br /> Interconnection Customer to provide missing information is not included in the Area <br /> EPS Operator's twenty-five (25) Business Days review timeline. <br /> 3.2. Initial Review Screens <br /> The Area EPS Operator shall determine if the DER can be interconnected safely and <br /> reliably without the construction of facilities by the Area EPS Operator by using a set of <br /> Initial Review Screens. The Initial Review screens include the following engineering <br /> screens: <br /> • The proposed DER's Point of Common Coupling must be on a portion of the <br /> Area EPS Operator's Distribution System. <br /> • For interconnection of a proposed DER to a radial distribution circuit, the <br /> aggregated generation, including the proposed DER, on the circuit shall not <br /> exceed 15% of the line section annual peak load as most recently measured or <br /> 100%of the substation aggregated minimum load. A line section is that portion <br /> of an Area EPS Operator's electric system connected to a customer bounded by <br /> automatic sectionalizing devices or the end of the distribution line.The Area <br /> EPS Operator may consider 100% of applicable loading (i.e. daytime minimum <br /> load for solar), if available, instead of 15% of line section peak load. <br /> • For interconnection of a proposed DER to the load side of network protectors, <br /> the proposed DER must utilize an inverter-based equipment package and, <br /> 4 <br /> 184 <br />
