SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br /> • Number and rating of protective devices and number and type (standard, bi- <br /> directional) of voltage regulating devices between the proposed Point of Common <br /> Coupling and the substation/area. Identify whether the substation has a load tap <br /> changer. <br /> • Number of phases available on the Area EPS medium voltage system at the <br /> proposed Point of Common Coupling. If a single phase, distance from the three- <br /> phase circuit. <br /> • Limiting conductor ratings from the proposed Point of Common Coupling to the <br /> distribution substation. <br /> • Whether the Point of Common Coupling is located on a spot network, grid <br /> network, or radial supply. <br /> • Based on the proposed Point of Common Coupling, existing or known constraints <br /> such as, but not limited to, electrical dependencies at that location, short circuit <br /> interrupting capacity issues, power quality or stability issues on the circuit, <br /> capacity constraints, or secondary networks. <br /> 6 Capacity of the Distributed Energy Resources <br /> 6.1. Existing DER System Expansion <br /> If the Interconnection Application is for an increase in capacity to an existing DER <br /> system, the Interconnection Application shall be evaluated on the basis of the total <br /> new alternating current (AC) capacity of the DER.The maximum capacity for the DER <br /> shall be the aggregate maximum Nameplate Rating unless the conditions in Section 6.3 <br /> are met. <br /> 6.2. New DER Systems <br /> An Interconnection Application for a DER that includes multiple energy production <br /> devices, (i.e. solar and storage), at a site for which the Interconnection Customer seeks <br /> a simple Point of Common Coupling, shall be evaluated on the basis of the aggregated <br /> maximum Nameplate Rating unless the conditions in Section 6.3 are met. <br /> 6.3. Limited Capacity <br /> A DER system may include devices, (i.e. control systems, power relays or other similar <br /> device settings), that can limit the maximum capacity at which the DER system can <br /> generate into the Area EPS Operator's distribution system. For DER system that include <br /> capacity limited devices, the Interconnection Customer must obtain the Area EPS <br /> Operator's agreement to consider the DER system with the Nameplate Rating as the <br /> 11 <br /> 146 <br />
