Interconnection Evaluation Study Sample Clauses

Interconnection Evaluation Study. The Interconnection Evaluation Study for a Generator seeking interconnection under this Attachment R may be expedited and completed earlier than the sixty (60) days otherwise required for an Interconnection Evaluation Study hereunder, by examining a limited contingency set that focuses on the impact of the small capacity addition on contingency limits in the vicinity of the capacity resource. Generally, small capacity additions are expected to have very limited and isolated impacts on system facilities in the immediate vicinity. In many cases, the addition of small capacity resources could improve local area performance. However, if local area performances are known to be limited and marginal, the impact of the new resource will be evaluated based on its impact on the contingencies limiting such local area performance. Generation additions will be tested using linear load flow analysis tools. In many cases, small capacity additions will have no adverse impact on generator addition in an area.
