SCHEDULE 3 - DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br />2.2.Professional Licensed Engineer Signature <br />The one-line diagram submitted with the Interconnection Application will require a <br />signature from a professional engineer licensed in the State of Minnesota certifying the <br />DER was designed in conformance to the Minnesota Technical Requirements for the <br />following conditions: <br /> <br />1 <br />Certified equipment is greater than 250 kW. <br /> <br />Non-certified equipment is greater than 20 kW. <br /> <br />2.3.Battery Storage <br />An inverter-based DER system may include battery storage. DER systems that include <br />battery storage should complete the Energy Storage Application along with the <br />Interconnection Application. <br /> <br />2.4.Site Control <br />Documentation of site control must be submitted with the Interconnection Application. <br />Site control may be demonstrated by any of the following: <br /> <br />Ownership of, a leasehold interest in, or a right to develop a site for the purpose of <br />constructing the DER system; <br /> <br />An option to purchase or lease a site for constructing the DER system; <br /> <br />An exclusivity or other business relationship between the Interconnection Customer <br />and the entity having the right to sell, lease, or grant the Interconnection Customer <br />the right to possess or occupy a site for constructing the DER system. <br />2.5.Interconnection Applications from Other Processes <br />Some Interconnection Applications submitted under the Fast Track Process may be <br />moved into the Study Process due to issues with the DER interconnection identified by <br />engineering screens. An Area EPS Operator cannot request a new Interconnection <br />Application submission if the Interconnection Application has already been submitted <br />through the Fast Track Process. The Interconnection Customer who had already paid a <br />processing fee for the Fast Track Process is still responsible to make a deposit toward <br />the applicable studies address in Section 4, 5 and 6, but does not need to submit an <br />additional processing fee. <br /> <br />1 <br />Additional information regarding certified equipment is found in Sections 14 and 15 of the Process Overview <br />document. <br />2 <br /> <br />213 <br />
