Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Application Guide: Interconnection for Capstone MicroTurbines Interconnect Application Steps Feasibility Study Economic analysis, precluding further steps, should consider local utility tariffs or competitive prices, interconnection fees, permit approval activities, and consulting services for Capstone applications. These expenditures vary depending on the number of the Capstone units, geographical location, and the utility company. It should be recognized that Capstone units are certified by U.L. and by the states of New York and California. This interconnect certification means that the process can take less time than for uncertified generators, and should therefore be less costly to customers. Factors impacting the interconnect process: 􏰒 NumberofMicroTurbineunitsproposed. 􏰒 Natureofthegridatpointofconnection. 􏰒 PowerdistributionorPointofCommonCoupling(PCC)Voltagelevel. 􏰒 Requirementsofthespecificutilitycompany. 􏰒 Meter’spartnumberandvendor. 􏰒 ElectricLoadtobesupplied. 􏰒 Power Quality parameters such as voltage sagging, flicker, harmonic distortions. 􏰒 Other Distributed Generator or Generation (DG) systems operating on premises, in parallel with the grid. 􏰒 Utilitityandstateregulationsintheregion. Timeline Though MicroTurbine installation and interconnection with a utility for parallel operation should not present technical difficulties, our experience has shown that utilities are sensitive to interconnection issues, due to their legal obligation to provide power to their customers, and require a thorough, methodical approach consistent with individual utility requirements. Establishing realistic timeframes and duties will facilitate smooth implementation, maintain good relations, and minimize potential delays. Utilities and states are currently standardizing the interconnection process, reviewing the fee structure and setting up testing requirements. The process will establish procedures, timelines and all requirements for interconnection with the grid. 480001-001 Rev A (April 2003) Page 2 of 11 This information is proprietary to Capstone Turbine Corporation.
