SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br /> 1 Applicability <br /> 1.1. Applicability <br /> The Study Process is applicable to an Interconnection Customer proposing to <br /> interconnect a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) with the Area Electrical Power System <br /> (Area EPS) Operator's Distribution System, if the DER capacity is larger than 4 MW or is <br /> identified through the engineering screening process to need additional studies. <br /> The majority of proposed DER interconnections will initially apply for interconnection <br /> under the Simplified or Fast Track Processes. Initial and supplemental screening results <br /> are to be considered throughout the Study Process. <br /> 1.2. Codes, Standards and Certification Requirements <br /> The Interconnection Customer's proposed DER must meet the codes, standards and <br /> certification requirements listed in Section 13, 14 and Section 15 of the Process <br /> Overview document.The Area EPS Operator may allow DER systems that do not meet <br /> codes, standards and certification only if the DER system design is reviewed, tested and <br /> determined to be safe to operate in parallel with the Distribution System. <br /> 2 Application Submission <br /> 2.1. Initial Interconnection Application for the Study Process <br /> For proposed DER interconnections that are not initially applied for under the Fast Track <br /> Process, the Interconnection Customer shall complete the Standard Interconnection <br /> Application and submit it to the Area EPS Operator to initiate the Interconnection <br /> Process. A completed Interconnection Application will include the following: <br /> • A completed Interconnection Application signed by the Interconnection Customer. <br /> • A process fee not to exceed $1,000, plus $2.00 per kW, toward the deposit of the <br /> study(s) indicated in Section 4. <br /> • A site layout drawing of the proposed DER system. <br /> • A one-line diagram of the proposed DER system showing the Point of Common <br /> Coupling to the Area EPS Operator's Distribution System. <br /> • All equipment manufacturer specification sheets. <br /> • Documentation of site control as indicated in Section 2.4. <br /> 1 <br /> 203 <br />
