SCHEDULE 3 - DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br />additional five (5) Business Days to review the additionally provided information for <br />completeness. <br /> <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 /> <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 />-five (25) Business Days review timeline. <br /> <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 /> <br />The proposed <br /> <br /> <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 />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 /> <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 /> <br />193 <br />
