SCE GENERATING FACILITY INTERCONNECTION APPLICATION Part 3: Describing the Generating Facility and Host Customer’s Electrical Facilities A (MP&I) Instructions and Notes Choose from the following three interface options: 1. Parallel Operation: The Generating Facility will interconnect and operate “in parallel” with SCE’s Distribution System for more than one (1) second. 2. Momentary Parallel Operation: The Generating Facility will interconnect and operate on a “momentary parallel” basis with SCE’s Distribution System for a duration of one (1) second or less through switches or circuit breakers specifically designed and engineered for such operation. 3. Isolated Operation: The Generating Facility will be “isolated” and prevented from becoming interconnected with SCE’s Distribution System through a transfer switch or operating scheme specifically designed and engineered for such operation. If the answer is option 1, “parallel operation,” please supply all of the information requested for the Generating Facility. Be sure to supply adequate information including diagrams and written descriptions regarding the protective relays that will be used to detect faults or abnormal operating conditions on SCE’s Distribution System. If the answer is option 2, “momentary parallel operation,” only questions A, E and F of this Part 3 and questions A, B, E, F, I, L, M, N, and S of Part 4 need be answered. Be sure, however, to supply adequate information including diagrams and written descriptions regarding the switching device or scheme that will be used to limit the parallel operation period to one second or less. Please also describe the back up or protective device and controls that will trip the Generating Facility should the transfer switch or scheme not complete the transfer in one second or less. If the answer is option 3, “Isolated Operation,” only questions A, E, and F of this Part 3 and questions A, B, F, and S of Part 4 need be answered. Be sure, however, to supply adequate information including diagrams and written descriptions regarding the isolating switching device or scheme that will be used to prevent the Generating Facility from operating in parallel with SCE’s Distribution System. B Instructions and Notes Sample agreements are available from SCE for review. Choose from the following four Agreement options: 1. A Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement that provides for parallel or momentary parallel operation of the Generating Facility, but does not provide for exporting power to SCE’s Distribution System. 2. A Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement that provides for parallel operation of the Generating Facility, and the occasional, inadvertent, non-compensated, export of power to SCE’s Distribution System. (This type of Agreement has not yet been developed by SCE or approved by the CPUC. Check with SCE for availability.) 3. A “Qualifying Facility” Power Purchase Agreement that provides for parallel operation of the Generating Facility, and exporting power to SCE’s Distribution System for sale to SCE. This option is available only to “Qualifying Facilities” with a total Nameplate Capacity of 100 kW or less. See Question F for the definition of a Qualifying Facility. (This type of Agreement has not yet been developed by SCE or approved by the CPUC. Check with SCE for availability.) 4. A Net Energy Metering Agreement that provides for parallel operation of the Generating Facility, and exporting power to SCE’s Distribution System for credit under the terms of SCE’s Net Energy Metering Tariff. This option is available only to solar and wind powered Generating Facilities per the terms of Section 2827 of the California Public Utilities Code. Indicate how this Generating Facility will interface with SCE’s Distribution System. 1 (Choose one) If the Answer to Question A was option 1, please indicate the type of agreement that is being requested with this Application. If options 2 or 3 were selected, please skip to questions E and F. If options 2, 3, or 4 to this question B are chosen, please provide an estimate of the monthly kWh the Generating Facility is expected to deliver to SCE’s Distribution System. If SCE determines that the amount of power to be exported is significant in relation to the capacity available on its Distribution System, it may request additional information, including time of delivery or seasonal kWh estimates. 1 (Choose one) _____________ KWh IC_APPLICATION_School 3 of 11
