DISTRIBUTED GENERATION POLICYDistributed Generation Policy • July 21st, 2008
Contract Type FiledJuly 21st, 2008This policy outlines the minimum requirements, from the system protection and operations perspective, for the connection of a member’s generator to Diverse Power’s distribution system. Such generators can be described by several different names such as distribution generator (DG), independent power producer (IPP), co-generator, or peak shaver. Diverse Power will refer to all these as Distributed Generation (DG). DG as described in this policy is a source of electric power that is not directly connected to a bulk power transmission system, but is connected to the distribution system. DG includes rotating generators driven by steam turbine, internal combustion engines, hydro electric, windmills and photovoltaic panels (PV) with DC to AC inverter and energy storage technologies.
