3.2.2.6. Interconnect Agreement
The utility provides the executable standardized interconnection contract, metering agreement,
and power purchase agreement, appropriate for the DG application and desired mode of
operation. These documents clarify roles and responsibilities between the utility and customer
and specify any additional power systems modifications, metering, monitoring, or protection
devices necessary to accommodate the DG project in the utility distribution system.
The agreements establish responsibilities, completion schedules, and estimated or fixed price
costs for the required work. Execution of these agreements indicates approval to proceed with
the installation or to perform the construction work related to the interconnection.
3.2.2.7. Start-Up and Tests
During the start-up process, a utility company may request a demonstration of certain capabilities
related to parallel operation with the grid. Such a demonstration can include response to grid
outage, and response to grid anomalies. In Dual Mode applications, islanding with isolated load
and returning in parallel mode may be required to demonstrate and test the Capstone Dual Mode
System Controller (DMSC).
These tests will require advance preparation including a written procedure and coordination with
the utility.
