SCHEDULE 3 - DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS 1Applicability 1.1.Applicability The Study Process is applicable to an Interconnection Customer proposing to interconnect a Distributed Energy Resource (DER) with the Area Electrical Power System (Area EPS) , if the DER capacity is larger than 4 MW or is identified through the engineering screening process to need additional studies. The majority of proposed DER interconnections will initially apply for interconnection under the Simplified or Fast Track Processes. Initial and supplemental screening results are to be considered throughout the Study Process. 1.2.Codes, Standards and Certification Requirements The Interconnection Customer proposed DER must meet the codes, standards and certification requirements listed in Section 13, 14 and Section 15 of the Process Overview document. The Area EPS Operator may allow DER systems that do not meet codes, standards and certification only if the DER system design is reviewed, tested and determined to be safe to operate in parallel with the Distribution System. 2Application Submission 2.1.Initial Interconnection Application for the Study Process For proposed DER interconnections that are not initially applied for under the Fast Track Process, the Interconnection Customer shall complete the Standard Interconnection Application and submit it to the Area EPS Operator to initiate the Interconnection Process. A completed Interconnection Application will include the following: A completed Interconnection Application signed by the Interconnection Customer. A process fee not to exceed $1,000, plus $2.00 per kW, toward the deposit of the study(s) indicated in Section 4. A site layout drawing of the proposed DER system. A one-line diagram of the proposed DER system showing the Point of Common CDistribution System. All equipment manufacturer specification sheets. Documentation of site control as indicated in Section 2.4. 1 212
