Point of common coupling definition

Point of common coupling means the point which the distributed generation facility is connected to the EDU's system.

Point of common coupling means the point where the generating facility's local electric power system connects to the electric sys- tem, such as the electric power revenue meter or at the location of the equipment designated to interrupt, separate or disconnect the con- nection between the generating facility and electrical company. The point of common coupling is the point of measurement for the applica- tion of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standard (IEEE) 1547.

Point of common coupling or “PCC” means the point where the generating facility’s local electric power system connects to the utility’s electric system, such as the electric power revenue meter or at the location of the equipment designated to interrupt, separate or disconnect the connection between the generating facility and the utility.

Examples of Point of common coupling in a sentence

• With mutual agreement, the Area EPS Operator and Customer may determine a point between the Point of Common Coupling and Point of DER Connection.

• Reference Point of Applicability – The location, either the Point of Common Coupling or the Point of DER Connection, where the interconnection and interoperability performance requirements specified in IEEE 1547 apply.

• Collectively, Interconnection Facilities include all facilities and equipment between the DER and the Point of Common Coupling, including any modification, additions or upgrades that are necessary to physically and electrically interconnect the DER to the Area EPS Operator’s System.

• Area EPS – The electric power distribution system connected at the Point of Common Coupling.

• Distribution Upgrades – The additions, modifications, and upgrades to the Distribution System at or beyond the Point of Common Coupling to facilitate interconnection of the DER and render the distribution service necessary to affect the Interconnection Customer’s connection to the Distribution System.
