SCHEDULE 3 - DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br />1.Introduction <br />This standard has been developed to document the technical requirements for the interconnection <br />standard covers 3 phase Generation Systems with an aggregate <br />single phase Generation Systems with an aggregate capacity of 40kW or less at the Point of <br />Common Coupling. This standard covers Generation Systems that are interconnected with the Area <br />andard does not cover Generation Systems that are directly <br />Transmission System interconnection standards. <br />While, this standard provides the technical requirements for interconnecting a Generation System <br />with a typical radial distribution system, it is important to note that there are some unique Area EPS, <br />which have special interconnection needs. One example of a unique Area EPS would be one <br />tem. This standard does not cover the additional special requirements <br />of those systems. The Interconnection Customer must contact the Owner/operator of the Area EPS <br />with which the interconnection is intended, to make sure that the Generation System is not proposed <br />to be interconnected with a unique Area EPS. If the planned interconnection is with a unique Area <br />EPS, the Interconnection Customer must obtain the additional requirements for interconnecting with <br />the Area EPS. <br />The Area EPS operator has the right to limit the maximum size of any Generation System or number <br />of Generation Systems that, may want to interconnect, if the Generation System would reduce the <br />reliability to the other customers connected to the Area EPS. <br />This standard only covers the technical requirements and does not cover the interconnection process <br />from the planning of a project through approval and construction. Please read the companion <br />document for the <br />description of the procedure to follow and a generic version of the forms to submit. It is important to <br />rates, costs and standard interconnection agreements. The earlier the Interconnection Customer gets <br />the Area EPS operator involved in the planning and design of the Generation System interconnection <br />the smoother the process will go. <br />331 <br />
