Level 3 Generation Less than 10,000 kW Interconnected to a radial distribution circuit Reverse Power Relays. No Shared Transformers No New Facilities Highly unusual on AP’s System (Rare) Application Typically Level 2 or 4.
17
Level 4 Generation Less than 10,000 kW Not Level 1, 2, or 3 Common on AP’s System (Typical)
18
Meetings and Studies Scoping Meeting(s) / Information Exchange Feasibility Study Engineering Materials / Information Exchange Generator Impact Study (Safety, Reliability, Operations) Engineering Review / Custom Design / Issue Mitigation Price Facilities Study
19
Feasibility Study Location on the Circuit Circuit Substation Interface Transformer Customer/Applicant Load –Min / Max –Metering Circuit Loading –kW, rkVA - Min/Max –Summer/WInter Line Section Loading –kW, rkVA - Min/Max –Summer/WInter Voltage Regulation Scheme/Equipment –LTCs –Regulators –Capacitors Conductor Types –Overhead –Underground Overcurrent Protection Scheme/Equipment –Fault Current at Location Outage Restoration Plan –Sectionalizing –Number of Customers
21
Impact Study Base Case –Without Proposed Generation –Min Load / Max Load –Summer / Winter Proposed Case –With Proposed Generation –Min Load / Max Load –Min / Max rkVA –Summer / WInter Determine Impact on Distribution Circuit –Safety / Potential for Equipment Damage –Loading / Equip Sizing –Cold Load Pick up –Voltage Regulation –Transient Voltage (flicker) (harmonics) –Fault Current/ Overcurrent Protection/Coordination –Outage Restoration / Operation –Impacts on other customers
