Analysis of Interconnection Requests Clause Samples
Analysis of Interconnection Requests. In accordance with the procedures under which the Parties provide interconnection service, each Party will coordinate with the other the conduct of any studies required in determining the impact of a request for generator or merchant transmission interconnection. Results of such coordinated studies will be included in the impacts reported to the interconnection customers as appropriate. Coordination of studies and upgrades will include the following:
(a) Upon either the posting to the OASIS of a request for interconnection or the review of the study results related to that request for interconnection, the Party receiving the request (“direct connect system”) will determine whether the other Party is potentially impacted. If the other Party is potentially impacted, the directly connected system will notify the other Party and convey the information provided in the posting.
(b) Following the results of either the Feasibility Study or the System Impact Study, the direct connect system will notify the other Party if the study shows potential reliability concerns on the other Party’s system. After reviewing the results, if the potentially impacted Party determines that its system may be materially impacted by the interconnection, that Party will contact the direct connect system and request participation in the applicable interconnection studies. The Parties will coordinate and mutually agree on with respect to the nature of studies to be performed to test the impacts of the interconnection on the potentially impacted Party, who will perform the studies. If the Parties cannot mutually agree on the nature of the studies to be performed they can resolve the differences through the dispute resolution procedures documented in Article XIV. The Parties will strive to minimize the costs associated with the coordinated study process.
(c) Any coordinated studies will be performed in accordance with the study scope and timeline mutually agreed to in 9.3.3 (b) above utilizing the responsibility options outlined in 9.3.3 (d) below.
(d) The potentially impacted Party may participate in the coordinated study at the System Impact Study or Feasibility Study stage, either by taking responsibility for performance of studies of its system, or by providing input to the studies to be performed by the direct connect system. If the constraints found require infrastructure additions to mitigate them, then the potentially impacted Party will perform its own Facilities Study as part of ...
Analysis of Interconnection Requests. In accordance with the procedures under which the Parties provide interconnection service, each Party shall coordinate with the other Parties the conduct of any studies required in determining the impact of a request for generator or transmission interconnection. For the purpose of determining the potential for Affected System impacts and the need to notify Affected Systems, Parties agree to monitor the other Parties’ systems when conducting interconnection request studies including all facilities rated 100 kV and above and contingencies on the other systems adjacent Balancing Authority Areas as appropriate in the judgement of the Direct Connect System. Results of any required coordinated studies shall be included in the impacts reported to the interconnection customers as appropriate. Coordination of studies shall include the following:
8.4.2.1 Upon a Party’s request, the Direct Connect System shall provide a complete listing of all interconnection requests and associated information for each interconnection request within 30 days of the Party’s request.
8.4.2.2 Upon either the posting to the OASIS or New Services Queue of a request for interconnection or the review of the study results related to that request for interconnection, the Party receiving the request (“Direct Connect System”) shall determine whether the other Parties are potentially impacted. If the other Parties are potentially impacted, the Direct Connect System shall notify such Party and convey the information provided in the posting. The Direct Connect System shall notify the Affected System if any of the following criteria in Sections 8.4.2.2 (a)(i), 8.4.2.2 (a)(ii), or 8.4.2.2 (b) are true:
a. While performing the analysis of the interconnection request, the Direct Connect System identifies the potential for an adverse system condition through one or both the following tests:
i. Thermal powerflow analysis and Associated Criteria: A contingency list for the Affected System shall be agreed upon by the Party for the Direct Connect System and the Party for the adjacent Affected System. Contingencies on both the Affected System and on the Direct Connect System are analyzed. Identify thermal loadings determined to: (1) have a pre and/or post-contingency loading of over 100% of the applicable rating in the modeling software on a monitored facility of 69 kV or above and (2) flow increases by 3% or more on the same monitored facility.
ii. PTDF Screen and Associated Criteria (DFAX screen under sy...
