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 />6Capacity 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 />capacity limited devices, the Interconnection Customer must obtain the Area EPS <br />s agreement to consider the DER system with the Nameplate Rating as the <br />11 <br />155 <br />
