Agenda packet, regular meeting — Moreno Valley City Council, December 19, 2023 (part 2 of 12)

approved the use of Asset Forfeiture funds again as a recommendation by the Public Safety Subcommittee Fireworks Taskforce to purchase equipment to address significant numbers of complaints regarding the frequent use of illegal fireworks in Moreno Valley.

For the last several years, this equipment has become a reliable source for supplemental data while on scene during several types of investigations including, but not limited to, the traffic collisions and fireworks operations as discussed. The ability to use this equipment during investigations at crime scenes is an effective an efficient means to solving crimes.

While the current equipment is operational, the technology has improved since the original purchase and functionality and compatibility with other technology is now limited. The equipment model as proposed, is the model predominantly used by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and will allow for continuity of use.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Authorize the purchase of law enforcement equipment, totaling $30,417.83 and approve budget adjustments as set forth in the Fiscal Impact section of this report. Staff recommends this alternative.

2. Do not authorize the purchase of law enforcement equipment, totaling $30,417.83.

Staff does not recommend this alternative.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Moreno Valley Police Department is requesting the City Council to approve the use of Asset Forfeiture funding secured by the County of Riverside to purchase law enforcement equipment. Funding for this purchase will not have an impact on the City’s General Fund in FY 2023/24.

ID#6349 Page 1
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Lloyd, Assistant City Manager (Development) Jason Niccoli, Electric Utility Division Manager
AGENDA DATE: December 19, 2023
TITLE: APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY

ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS,

AND APPROVE INCENTIVES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Recommendation:

1. Approve an additional budget allocation of $300,000 for Utility Assistance Programs;

2. Approve an additional budget allocation of $350,000 to expand the Energy Audit and Direct Installation program;

3. Approve an additional budget allocation of $115,000 to expand the Transportation Electrification program;

4. Approve Resolution 2023-XX. A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Moreno Valley, California, to confirm the Electric Rules for Moreno Valley Utility to be effective March 2024.

SUMMARY
To aid MVU residential and small business customers (businesses whose monthly maximum demand for electricity is less than 20 kW) that are struggling with high energy use, this report recommends enhancing the Utility Assistance Programs with an additional budget allocation of $300,000 and expanding the Energy Audit and Direct Installation Program with an additional annual budget allocation of $350,000. Both the Utility Assistance Programs and the Energy Audit/Direct Installation Program are funded with Public Purpose Program funds. In addition to increasing the funding for these customer programs, this report recommends expanding our Transportation A.11
Packet Pg. 189

Page 2 ends

Electrification Program with an additional budget allocation of $115,000 to support the adoption of electric vehicles.

DISCUSSION
Utility Assistance Programs:

MVU currently has two Utility Assistance Programs – an Energy Bill Assistance Program (Tier 1 & Tier 2 – which is income based) and Emergency Bill Assistance which is intended to help customers with emergencies impacting their ability to pay their electric bill. Both tiers of the Energy Bill Assistance program provide a discount on monthly energy charges to income qualified families. The Emergency Bill Assistance program currently offers $500, and we are proposing to expand it to $1,000 to help customers who are experiencing a financial emergency.

Energy Audit and Direct Installation Program:

All residential customers are eligible to participate in MVU’s Energy Audit and Direct Installation Program. Currently, customers can receive up to $4,000 in measures that will reduce customers’ energy consumption and increase comfort. Measures include an in-home Energy Audit, energy star ceiling fans, solar screens, high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) motors, AC tune ups and filter changes, duct testing and sealing, smart thermostats, smart powerstrips, whole house fans and LED lighting. Staff recommends expanding the program to $5,000 per customer.

Transportation Electrification Program:

MVU currently offers a bill credit of $25/mo for customers who provide evidence that they are the owner of an electric vehicle and that the electric vehicle is registered at the service address. MVU is proposing to increase the bill credit from $25/mo to $50/mo per electric vehicle. MVU is also proposing to offer a $500 rebate towards the purchase of a new or used electric vehicle, we are also offering $500 towards the purchase and installation an electric vehicle charger.

Electric Service Area and Rates:

Two separate utility providers, Moreno Valley Utility (MVU) and Southern California Edison (SCE), currently serve the City of Moreno Valley. Between the two electric utilities, there are over 60,000 accounts.

MVU non-residential customers account for 70% of MVU revenues while residential customers only account for 30% of MVU revenues.

The requirement for utilities to purchase greater amounts of renewable energy continuously increased, moving from an amount equal to 20% of retail sales by 2017 to 33% by 2020, to 60% by 2030, and 100% carbon-free energy by 2045. In addition, the focus on renewable, clean energy has impacted the capacity market by limiting the A.11
Packet Pg. 190

Page 3 ends

amount of generation capacity available to cover peak demand periods, thus reducing supply and driving up prices. In calendar year 2018, the cost per kW-month for capacity products was approximately $1.30. The calendar years 2021 and 2022 cost per kWmonth is approximately $6.20, and the calendar year 2024 cost per kW-month is currently over $23.00. MVU has seen a significant increase in power costs and require investments in technology to upgrade the system to maintain reliability to customers since its last rate adjustment.

The approved SCE rate adjustments for calendar year 2023 average 14.1%, which is now in effect for SCE customers, and is primarily related to capital investments for repair and replacement of equipment on its distribution system and investments in modernizing the system, as well as investments in electric vehicle infrastructure.

Similarly, MVU has reviewed SCE’s rates and has analyzed the current and upcoming operational and capital expenditures for MVU. Although MVU may require rates higher than SCE to establish reserves, pursuant to City Resolution 2006-112, staff recommends an adjustment to continue the policy of parity with SCE’s electric rates.

To avoid the requirement for the General Fund to subsidize up to $6 million annually to MVU, the proposed Resolution amends and confirms the electric rates and rules for MVU to correspond with all SCE rates in 2023. Staff recommends approval of the Resolution that will amend and confirm the electric rates and rules for Moreno Valley Utility (MVU), to be effective with the March 2023 billing. Since the inception of MVU, City Council policy has been to maintain parity with SCE electric rates. Resolution 2006- 112 approved implementing a schedule to adjust MVU’s rates to reflect the same rate schedule as SCE. This policy is also incorporated within the Professional Services Agreement with ENCO Utility Services Moreno Valley LLC, which requires that MVU adjust its electric rates to maintain approximate parity with those charged by SCE.

The change in rates was presented to the Utilities Commission on 10/25/2023. The average change by customer class is included as Attachment 1 to the staff report should the rate adjustment be approved.

The expanded Utility Assistance Programs and Energy Audit and Direct Installation Program will continue to offset the potential impact to residential and general service customers.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Approve the Recommended Actions presented in this report. Staff recommends this alternative as the proposed amended electric rates and rules will allow the City’s utility to comply with established Council-adopted policies and practices and avoid adding a General Fund liability and provides assistance to those impacted by a financial emergency.

2. Do not approve the Recommended Actions presented in this report Staff does not recommend this alternative because the Resolution is needed to keep the Utility in compliance with established Council-adopted policies and practices and will result in an annual General Fund liability of $6,040,710.

FISCAL IMPACT
The requested additional funding for the Utility Assistance Programs is $300,000, $350,000 annually for the Energy Audit and Direct Installation Program through the term of the agreement with Synergy Companies and $115,000 for Transportation Electrification. The proposed rate adjustment is estimated to increase revenue by an average of approximately $575,000 per month. With approval of the rates, and no further energy cost increases, it is anticipated that net income will be positive.

MVU is a relatively young utility and has not yet fully established or maintained desired reserve fund levels. As such, the General Fund continues to be a backstop to the $37 million of estimated reserves required for operations, emergencies, repair and replacement of infrastructure, and rate stabilization. These four categories are necessary to maintain a financially strong utility for the future.

The City has also issued over $62 million of bonds for utility infrastructure improvements, which are secured by the Base Rental Payments and other payments paid by the City and received by the Authority pursuant to the Facilities Sublease (as defined in the Trust Indenture).

The following table reflects the budget adjustment to increase funding for the Utility Assistance Programs and Energy Audit/Direct Installation Program, all paid for with Public Purpose Funds. Public Purpose Program funds can only be utilized under a strict umbrella of programs, determined at the State level of government.

7. Power Factor Adjustment: The billing will be adjusted each month for power factor. a. Adjustment Rate: The customer’s bill will be increased each month for the power factor $0.60 per kilovar of maximum reactive demand. b. The maximum reactive demand shall be the highest measured maximum average kilovar demand indicated or recorded by metering during any 15- minute metered interval in the month. For customers with metering used for billing that measures kilovar-hours instead of reactive demand, the kilovars of reactive demand shall be calculated by multiplying the kilowatts of measured maximum demand by the ratio of the kilovar-hours to the kilowatthours. Demands in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined to the nearest unit.

A device will be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its reverse operation on leading power factors.

SCHEDULEVNEM–VIRTUALNETENERGYMETERING
Applicability
This Schedule is applicable to Qualified Customers served on time-of-use (TOU) rates whose Service Account(s) are located within a multi-tenant and multi-meter Property upon which an Eligible Facility has been installed pursuant to the additional terms and conditions contained herein and any other applicable law; and for which the Owner or Operator of the Property contracts with MVU to have all eligible energy produced by the Eligible Generator or Energy Storage Device exported to MVU’s system for the sole purpose of offsetting the costs to designated Benefitting Accounts within the same Property as the Eligible Generator or Energy Storage Device.

Territory
Within the designated areas served by Moreno Valley Utility.

Rates
All terms and conditions of the Qualified Customer’s TOU Tariff apply. Allocated TOU Credits, as further defined in Special Conditions, Section 4 below, are determined by multiplying the kilowatt-hours (kWh) that the Eligible Generator(s) or Energy Storage Device(s) deliver within each TOU block by the percentages calculated by the portion of NEC load required by each meter vs the unadjusted NEC load of the entire site.

1. Mandatory TOU Rates.
a. Qualified Customers must receive service on a TOU rate schedule, with no exceptions.
b. The default TOU rate for Residential Qualified Customers is Schedule A – Rate B.

2. Non-by-passable Charges (NBCs)
For the purpose of this Schedule , NBCs apply to the Public Purpose Programs charges. As determined in each billing period, a Qualified Customer is responsible for NBCs, assessed on a $-per-kWh basis using the NBC factors contained in the Qualified Customer’s applicable Tariff, for each kWh of electricity that is consumed / imported from the grid in each metered interval. Allocated Credits cannot be used to offset or net the kWh on which a Qualified Customer’s NBCs are based.

percentage of NEC load for each Benefitting Account vs the sum of all NEC loads of all Benefitting Accounts included in the electrical plans submitted for building and safety review prior to site construction. This percentage can be updated by specific request by the Owner or Operator when the site undergoes construction permitted by the City which impacts the NEC loads.
ii. The individual allocation of the kWh to each Benefitting Account is calculated by multiplying the Gross Credit by the designated percentage allocation for each individual Benefitting Account during each applicable TOU block.
d. Allocated Debit -
i. The percentage of Gross Debit that will be allocated to the individual Benefitting Account(s) is determined by calculating the percentage of NEC load for each Benefitting Account vs the sum of all NEC loads of all Benefitting Accounts included in the electrical plans submitted for building and safety review prior to site construction. This percentage is updated when the percentage affecting Allocation Credit is updated.
ii. The individual allocation of the kWh and fixed costs to each Benefitting Account is calculated by multiplying the Gross Debit by the designated percentage allocation for each individual Benefitting Account during each applicable TOU block.
e. Qualified Customer’s Bill – MVU will provide each Qualified Customer with its net energy information with each regular bill. That information will include the monetary balance of energy charges and credits for the current Relevant Period. Qualified Customers are responsible for all charges of their TOU tariff. Each month, Allocated Credits, in kWh are subtracted from the Benefitting Account’s metered usage in kWh during each TOU block. Allocated Debits, in kWh are added to the Benefitting Account’s metered usage in kWh during each TOU block. Allocated Debits for fixed charges of the associated Generating Account are added to the fixed charges of the Benefiting Accounts. The bill may therefore reflect either a charge or a credit for energy (kWh).
f. Bill Payment – Qualified Customers are required to pay their bill on a monthly basis. Bill payments made by the Qualified Customer within the Relevant Period will continue to be applied to the Qualified Customer’s account. Excess energy credits are converted to dollars in accordance with the Net Compensation Tariff and carried forward to the following billing period. For Benefitting Accounts with a net negative bill, MVU will issue checks annually in November for the net negative balance.

5. Where an Applicant proposes to use a ground-fault sensing protective system which would require special Utility-owned equipment, such a system may be installed only where feasible and with written approval of the Utility.

6. Any non-Utility-owned emergency standby or other generation equipment that can be operated to supply power to facilities that are also designed to be supplied from the Utility’s system shall be controlled with suitable protective devices by the Applicant to prevent parallel operation with the Utility’s system in a fail-safe manner, such as the use of a double-throw transfer switch to disconnect all conductors, except where there is a written agreement or service contract with the Utility permitting such parallel operation.

F. INTERFERENCE WITH SERVICE

1. GENERAL
The Utility reserves the right to refuse to serve new loads or to discontinue supply to existing loads of a size or character that may be detrimental to the Utility’s operations or to the service of its Customers. Any Customer who operates or plans to operate any equipment such as, but not limited to, pumps, welders, saw mill apparatus, furnaces, compressors or other equipment where the use of electricity is intermittent, causes intolerable voltage fluctuations, or otherwise causes intolerable service interference, must reasonably limit such interference or restrict the use of such equipment upon request by the Utility. The Customer is required either to provide and pay for whatever corrective measures are necessary to limit the interference to a level established by the Utility as reasonable, or avoid the use of such equipment, whether or not the equipment has previously caused interference.

2. HARMFUL WAVE FORM
Customer shall not operate equipment that superimposes a current of any frequency or waveform upon the Utility’s system, or draws current from the Utility’s system at a harmful waveform, which causes interference with the Utility’s operations, or the service to other Customers, or inductive interference to communication facilities.

3. CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY
Any Customer causing service interference to others must diligently pursue and take corrective action after being given notice and a reasonable time to do so by the Utility.

If the Customer does not take corrective action in the time set, or continues to operate the equipment causing the interference without restriction or limit, the Utility may, without liability, after giving five (5) days written notice to Customer, either install and activate control devices on its facilities that will temporarily prevent the detrimental operation, or discontinue electric service until a suitable permanent solution is provided by the Customer and it is operational.

For motors rated over 75 HP the Customer needs to consult with the Utility. b. If the starting current for a single motor installation exceeds the value listed for Class C or better (per National Electrical Code Section 430) and the resulting voltage disturbance causes or is expected to cause detrimental service to others, reduced voltage starters or other suitable means must be employed, at the Customer’s expense, to limit the voltage fluctuations to a level equivalent to a Class C motor.
c. Where service conditions permit, subject to the Utility’s approval, motor starters may be deferred in the original installation. The Utility may later order the installation of a suitable starter or other devices when it has been determined that the operation of the Customer’s motors interfere with service to others. Also, the Utility may require starting current values lower than those set forth herein where conditions at any point on its system require such reduction to avoid interference with service to other Customers.
d. Starters may be omitted on the smaller motors of a group installation when their omission will not result in a starting current in excess of the allowable starting current of the largest motor of the group. Where motors start simultaneously, they will be treated as a single unit equal to the sum of their individual starting currents.
e. The Utility may limit the maximum size and type of any motor that may be operated at any specific location on its system to that which will not be detrimental to the Utility’s system operations or to the service of its Customers, as determined by the Utility.
f. For installations of motors where the equipment is started automatically by means of float, pressure, or thermostat devices, such as with pumps or wind machines for frost protection, irrigation pumps or other similar installations, the Utility may require the Customer to install, at his own expense and in accordance with the Utility’s operating requirements, suitable preset time-delay devices to stagger the A.11.c

** The kVA rating of all resistance welders to which these rating procedures are applied must be at or equivalent to 50 percent duty cycle operation. Duty cycle is the percent of the time welding current flows during a given operating cycle. If the operating kVA nameplate rating is for some other operating duty cycle, then the thermally equivalent kVA rating at 50 percent duty cycle must be calculated.
*** Each flash or butt welder in this group will be rated at 80 kVA. d. Ratings prescribed by a, b, and c above normally will be determined from nameplate data or from data supplied by the manufacturer. If such data are not available or are believed by either the Utility or Customer to be unreliable, the rating will be determined by test at the expense of the Customer. e. If established by seals approved by the Utility, the welder rating may be limited by the sealing of taps, which provide capacity greater than the selected tap, and/or by the interlocking lockout of one or more welders with other welders. f. When conversion of units is required for rate application, one welder kVA will be taken as one horsepower for rules stated on a horsepower basis and one welder kVA will be taken as one kilowatt for rates stated on a kilowatt basis.

2. BILLING OF WELDERS
Welders will be billed at the regular rates and conditions of the rules on which they are served, subject to the following provisions:
a. CONNECTED LOAD TYPE OF SCHEDULE. Welder load will be included as part of the connected load with ratings as determined under Section 1, above, A.11.c
Packet Pg. 269 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 18 based on the maximum load that can be connected at any one time, and no allowance will be made for diversity between welders.
b. DEMAND METERED TYPE OF SCHEDULE. Where resistance welders are served on these schedules, the computation of diversified resistance welder load shall be made as follows:

Multiply the individual resistance welder ratings, as prescribed in Sections 1.c. to

1.f. inclusive (above) by the following factors, and add to the results thus obtained:

1.0 times the rating of the largest welder

0.8 times the rating of the next largest welder

0.6 times the rating of the next largest welder

0.4 times the rating of the next largest welder

0.2 times the ratings of all additional welders
If this computed, diversified, resistance welder load is greater than the metered demand, the diversified resistance welder load will be used in lieu of the metered demand for rate computation purposes.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 24 ELECTRIC RULE 6—ESTABLISHMENT AND RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF CREDIT An Applicant for Utility service may be required to establish credit. A Customer whose Utility service has been terminated for nonpayment of an energy bill or whose payments have been past due, as set forth below, may be required to re-establish credit.

A. ESTABLISHMENT OF CREDIT
When, for Applicant’s convenience, the Utility provides service to the Applicant before credit is established and the Applicant fails to establish credit in accordance with this rule, service may be terminated after notice is given in accordance with these regulations.

Credit can be established if the Applicant:
a. is the owner with a substantial equity, of value satisfactory to the Utility, in the Premises to be served; or
b. makes a deposit to secure payment of bills as prescribed in Electric Rule 7; or c. furnishes a qualified guarantor to secure payment of Applicant’s Utility bills; or d. has been a Customer of the Utility for a similar type of service within the past two years, and during the last twelve consecutive months of that prior service, Customer has had not more than two past due bills as defined in Rules 8 and 11.

The periodic bill for such previous service must equal at least 50 percent of the estimated bill amount(s) for the new service, and provided further, that the credit of Applicant is unimpaired in the opinion of the Utility; or e. otherwise establishes credit to the satisfaction of the Utility; and f. has paid all bills for nonresidential electric service previously supplied to Applicant by the Utility.

B. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF CREDIT

1. An Applicant who previously has been a Customer of the Utility, and whose electric service has been discontinued by the Utility during the last twelve (12) months of that prior service because of nonpayment of bills, may be required to re-establish credit. a. A Customer who fails to pay bills before they become past due and who further fails to pay such bills within five days after presentation of a discontinuance of service notice for nonpayment of bills, may be required to pay said bills and reestablish credit by depositing the amount established by the Utility in accordance with Electric Rule 7. A deposit may be required regardless of whether or not service has been discontinued for such nonpayment.

A. AMOUNT OF DEPOSIT

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF CREDIT
a. Residential accounts: The amount of deposit required to establish credit shall be twice the average monthly bill as estimated by the Utility. b. Nonresidential accounts: The amount of deposit required to establish credit shall be twice the maximum monthly bill as estimated by the Utility. c. Residential and nonresidential accounts: The amount of deposit taken to establish credit shall be subject to adjustment upon request by the Customer or upon review by the Utility.
d. Residential solar accounts are eligible for a special metering and billing option called Net Energy Metering (NEM). Under this billing option, each NEM Customer is billed monthly for their total bill but is not required to pay for the consumed energy until the end of each 12-month period. Therefore, if a deposit is required, the amount of the deposit taken to establish credit shall be the annual total billed amount plus twice the average monthly bill as estimated by the Utility.

2. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF CREDIT
Should the Customer’s payment history with the Utility warrant it, the Utility may require the Customer to re-establish credit by paying a re-establishment deposit. The amount of deposit required to re-establish credit for residential and nonresidential accounts will be twice the maximum monthly bill as determined by City. For residential solar accounts, the amount will be the annual total billed amount plus twice the maximum monthly bill as determined by the Utility.

B. RETURN OF DEPOSIT

1. The Utility may refund a Customer’s deposit by draft or by applying the deposit to the Customer’s account. If the Customer establishes service at a new location, the Utility may retain the deposit for such new account, subject to the conditions of Sections B.3 and B.4 below.

2. Upon discontinuance of service, the Utility will refund the Customer’s deposit or the balance thereof that is in excess of unpaid bills for service furnished by the Utility.

3. When the Customer’s credit is otherwise established, the Utility will refund the deposit either upon the Customer’s request for return of the deposit or upon review by the Utility.

After the Customer has not had more than two past due bills during the twelve (12) months prior to any such review and has not had service temporarily or permanently discontinued for nonpayment of bills during such period, the deposit will be refunded in accordance with this section. For residential solar accounts billed on Net Energy Metering (NEM), if a deposit is required to establish or re-establish credit on the account, the deposit shall be held on the account for the life of the account or until the Utility determines that a deposit is no longer required.

5. Deposits cannot be used to offset past due bills or to avoid or delay discontinuance of service.

C. INTEREST ON DEPOSIT

1. The Utility will pay interest on deposits, except as provided below. Interest shall be 1/12th of the interest on commercial paper - AA nonfinancial (prime, 90-day, monthly average of January) as reported in July by the Federal Reserve or its successor publication and will be accrued for the period that the deposit is held by the Utility.

This value will be adjusted once annually in July. (cite - https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/cp/rates.htm)

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 29 ELECTRIC RULE 9—RENDERING AND PAYMENT OF BILLS
A. BILLS PREPARED AT REGULAR INTERVALS
Bills for electric service will be rendered at regular intervals. All bills will be based on meter registration, except as provided in Section C below, or as may otherwise be provided in the Utility’s rules. Meters will be read as nearly as possible at regular intervals. Except as otherwise stated, the regular billing period will be once each month. Due to Sundays and holidays and other factors, it is not always possible to read meters on the same day of each month.

B. PRO RATA CORRECTION
Opening and closing bills rendered will be computed in accordance with the rate schedule applicable to that service, unless otherwise provided in this rule, or in the applicable rate schedule. The basic charge, Customer charge, the amount of energy blocks, demand blocks, etc., and the service charge, demand charge, or minimum charge will be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the period in question to the total number of days in the subject month. However, where daily equivalents are used, there will be no pro rata correction. Instead, the calculation shall use the number of days in the billing period multiplied by the daily equivalent charge.

When one or more regularly scheduled meter readings have been missed, the proration factor for the next regularly scheduled meter reading shall be 1.000 times the number of monthly billing cycles in the period. When an interim bill based on a special reading for a period other than 27 to 33 days has been issued during the interval since the last regularly scheduled meter reading, the proration factor for the regularly scheduled bill shall be the factor derived above, less the proration factor applied to the interim bill. However, where daily equivalents are used, there will be no pro rata correction. Instead, the calculation shall use the number of days in the billing period by the daily equivalent charge.

C. ESTIMATED BILLS
If, because of unusual conditions or for reasons beyond its control, the Utility is unable to read the Customer’s meter on the scheduled reading date, the Utility may bill the Customer for estimated consumption during the billing period and make any necessary corrections when a reading is obtained. Estimated consumption for this purpose will be calculated considering the Customer’s prior usage, the Utility’s experience with other Customers of the same class in that area, and the general characteristics of the Customer’s operations.

Adjustments for any underestimate or overestimate of a Customer’s consumption will be reflected on the first regularly scheduled bill rendered and based on an actual reading following the period of inaccessibility.

G. RETURNED CHECK CHARGE
If a check, tendered in payment of amounts owing the Utility, is not honored by a bank and is returned to the Utility unpaid, the Utility will add to the Customer’s bill a charge for processing each such returned check consistent with these rules. Where service is subject to discontinuance under Electric Rule 11, the returned check charge shall be included in the total amount due and payable.

H. FIELD NOTIFICATION AND COLLECTION PROCESSING FEES
The Utility will require payment of a Collection Processing Fee when an authorized Utility representative makes a field call to a Customer’s Premises to discontinue electric service in accordance with Electric Rule 11 for nonpayment of a past due billing. The Utility will also assess the Collection Processing Fee when an authorized Utility representative makes a field call to discontinue electric service for nonpayment of a deposit that was requested in accordance with Electric Rule 6.

Where service is discontinued under the provisions of Electric Rule 11, the Utility will require payment of the balance in full, the balance of any unpaid closed accounts, plus any assessed field notification charges, Collection Processing Fees and Deposits prior to restoration of service.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 56 ELECTRIC RULE 17—METER TESTS AND ADJUSTMENT OF BILLS FOR METER ERROR
A. METER TESTS
Any Customer may, upon not less than five (5) working days notice, request that the Utility test the Customer’s electric meter. No payment or deposit will be required from the Customer for such tests except when a Customer requests a meter test within six months after the date of installation of the meter, or more often than once each six months thereafter. A deposit to cover the reasonable cost of the test will be required of the Customer.

The deposit will be returned to the Customer if the meter is found to register more than two percent fast or slow under conditions of normal operation as a result of the test. A Customer shall have the right to request the Utility conduct the test in the Customer’s presence or in the presence of an expert or other representative appointed by the Customer. A report giving the result of the test will be supplied to the Customer within a reasonable time after completion of the test. All electric meters will be tested at the time of their installation. No meter will be placed in service or allowed to remain in service which has an error in registration in excess of two percent under conditions of normal operation. On newly purchased single-phase meters, the manufacturer’s test may be used as the installation test when the Utility’s random tests indicate satisfactory test results for a particular manufacturer and for a particular shipment.

B. ADJUSTMENT OF BILLS FOR METER ERROR
Meter error is the incorrect registration of energy usage resulting from a malfunctioning or defective meter. It does not include incorrect registration attributable to billing error or unauthorized use. Where, as the result of a meter test, a meter is found to be non-registering or incorrectly registering, the Utility may render an adjusted bill to the Customer for the amount of any undercharge without interest. The Utility shall issue a refund or credit to the Customer for the amount of any overcharge, without interest, computed back to the date that is determined to be when the meter error commenced, except that the period of adjustment shall not exceed the limits set forth in this Rule. Such adjusted bill shall be computed as follows:

1. FAST METER
If a meter, for either residential or nonresidential service, is found to be registering more than two percent fast, the Utility will calculate the amount of the overcharge for refund to the Customer based on the corrected usage for a period of up to 6 months.

When it is known that the period of meter error was less than six months, the overcharge will be calculated for only those months during which the meter error occurred.

2. SLOW METER

However, if it is known that the period of meter error was less than three years, the undercharge will be calculated for only those months during which the meter error occurred.

3. NONREGISTERING METER
If a meter, for either residential or nonresidential service is found to be nonregistering, the Utility may bill the Customer for the amount of the undercharge based on the Utility’s estimate of the electricity used, but not registered, for a period of up to three years. However, if it is known that the period the meter was non-registering was less than three years, the undercharge will be calculated for only those months the meter was non-registering. Where the condition of the meter renders it un-testable (no-test), the Utility may bill the Customer based upon the Utility’s estimate of the unmetered energy. Nothing herein is intended to limit the Utility’s authority to bill the Customer for unauthorized use.

4. NO-TEST METERS
Where the condition of the meter renders it untestable (no-test), the Utility may bill the Customer based upon the Utility’s estimate of the unmetered energy. Nothing herein is intended to limit the Utility’s authority to bill the Customer for unauthorized use.

5. ESTIMATED USAGE
When regular, accurate meter readings are not available or when the electric usage has not been accurately measured, the Utility may estimate the Customer’s energy usage for billing purposes on the basis of information including, but not limited to, the physical condition of the metering equipment, available meter readings, records of historical use, and the general characteristics of the Customer’s load and operation.

1. General Interconnection and Protective Function Requirements The Protective Functions and requirements of this Rule are designed to protect MVU’s Distribution System and not the Generating Facility. A Producer shall be solely responsible for providing adequate protection for its Generating Facility and Interconnection Facilities. The Producer's Protective Functions shall not impact the operation of other Protective Functions utilized on MVU’s Distribution System in a manner that would affect MVU's capability of providing reliable service to its Customers.

A.11.c
Packet Pg. 322 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 71 a. Protective Functions Required Generating Facilities operating in parallel with MVU’s Distribution System shall be equipped with the following Protective Functions to sense abnormal conditions on MVU’s Distribution System and cause the Generating Facility to be automatically disconnected from MVU’s Distribution System or to prevent the Generating Facility from being connected to MVU’s Distribution System inappropriately:
1) Over and under voltage trip functions and over and under frequency trip functions;
2) A voltage and frequency sensing and time-delay function to prevent the Generating Facility from energizing a de-energized Distribution System circuit and to prevent the Generating Facility from reconnecting with MVU’s Distribution System unless MVU’s Distribution System service voltage and frequency is within the Voltage Range of 106V to 127V (on a 120V basis), inclusive, and a frequency range of 59.3 Hz to 60.5 Hz, inclusive, and are stable for at least 60 seconds; and
3) A function to prevent the Generating Facility from contributing to the formation of an Unintended Island and cease to energize the MVU’s Distribution System within two seconds of the formation of an Unintended Island.

The Generating Facility shall cease to energize MVU’s Distribution System for faults on MVU’s Distribution System circuit to which it is connected.

The Generating Facility shall cease to energize MVU’s Distribution circuit prior to re-closure by MVU’ Distribution System equipment. b. Momentary Paralleling Generating Facilities. With MVU’s approval, the transfer switch or scheme used to transfer the Producer’s loads from MVU’s Distribution System to Producer’s Generating Facility may be used in lieu of the Protective Functions required for Parallel Operation. c. Purpose of Protective Functions. The Protective Functions and requirements of this Rule are designed to protect MVU’s Distribution System and not the Generating Facility. A Producer shall be solely responsible for providing adequate protection for its Generating Facility and Interconnection Facilities.

The Producer’s protective devices utilized on the Distribution System in a manner that would affect MVU’s capability of providing reliable service to its Customers.
d. Suitable Equipment Required. Circuit breakers or other interrupting equipment located at the Point of Common Coupling must be Certified or "Listed" (as defined in Article 100, the Definitions Section of the National Electrical Code) as suitable for their intended application. This includes being A.11.c
Packet Pg. 323 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 72 capable of interrupting the maximum available fault current expected at their location. Producer’s Generating Facility and Interconnection Facilities shall be designed so that the failure of any single device or component shall not potentially compromise the safety and reliability of MVU’s Distribution System.
e. Visible Disconnect Required. When required by MVU’s operating practices, the Producer shall furnish and install a ganged, manually-operated isolating switch (or a comparable device mutually agreed upon by MVU and the Producer) near the Point of Interconnection to isolate the Generating Facility from MVU’s Distribution System. The device does not have to be rated for load break nor provide over-current protection.

The device must:
1) allow visible verification that separation has been accomplished. (This requirement may be met by opening the enclosure to observe contact separation.)
2) include markings or signage that clearly indicate open and closed positions.
3) be capable of being reached quickly and conveniently 24 hours a day by MVU personnel for construction, operation, maintenance, inspection, testing or reading, without obstacles or requiring those seeking access to obtain keys, special permission, or security clearances.
4) be capable of being locked in the open position.
5) be clearly marked on the submitted single line diagram and its type and location approved by the MVU prior to installation. If the device is not adjacent to the Point of Common Coupling, permanent signage must be installed at an MVU-approved location providing a clear description of the location of the device.

Generating Facilities with Non-Islanding inverters totaling one (1) kilovolt-ampere (kVA) or less are exempt from this requirement.
f. Drawings Required. Prior to Parallel Operation or Momentary Parallel Operation of the Generating Facility, MVU shall approve the Producer's Protective Function and control diagrams. Generating Facilities equipped with Protective Functions and a control scheme previously approved by MVU for system-wide application or only Certified Equipment may satisfy this requirement by reference to previously approved drawings and diagrams.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 73 g. Generating Facility Conditions Not Identified. In the event this Rule does not address the Interconnection conditions for a particular Generating Facility, MVU and Producer may agree upon other arrangements.

2. Prevention of Interference:

The Producer shall not operate Generating or Interconnection Facilities that superimpose a voltage or current waveform upon MVU’s Distribution System that interferes with MVU operations, service to MVU Customers, or communication facilities. If such interference occurs, the Producer must diligently pursue and take corrective action at its own expense after being given notice and reasonable time to do so by MVU. If the Producer does not take corrective action in a timely manner, or continues to operate the facilities causing interference without restriction or limit, MVU may, without liability, disconnect the Producer's facilities from MVU’s Distribution System. To eliminate undesirable interference caused by its operation, each Generating Facility shall meet the following criteria:
a. Voltage Regulation: The Generating Facility shall not actively regulate the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling while in parallel with MVU’s Distribution System.
b. Operating Voltage Range: The voltage ranges in Table D.1 define protective trip limits for the Protective Function and are not intended to define or imply a voltage regulation Function. Generating Facilities shall cease to energize MVU’s Distribution System within the prescribed trip time whenever the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling deviates from the allowable voltage operating range. The Protective Function shall detect and respond to voltage on all phases to which the Generating Facility is connected.
1) Generating Facilities (30 kVA or less). Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of 30 kVA or less shall be capable of operating within the voltage range normally experienced on MVU’s Distribution System. The operating range shall be selected in a manner that minimizes nuisance tripping between 106 volts and 132 volts on a 120-volt base (88%-110% of nominal voltage). Voltage shall be detected at either the Point of Common Coupling or the Point of Interconnection.
2) Generating Facilities (greater than 30 kVA). MVU may require adjustable operating voltage settings. In the absence of such requirements, the Generating Facility shall operate at a range between 88% and 110% of the applicable interconnection voltage.

Voltage shall be detected at either the Point of Common Coupling or the Point of Interconnection, with settings compensated to A.11.c

Whenever MVU’s Distribution System voltage at the Point of Common Coupling varies from and remains outside normal (nominally 120 volts) for the predetermined parameters set forth in Table D-1, the Generating Facility’s Protective Functions shall cause the Generator(s) to become isolated from MVU’s Distribution System:

Table D.1 Voltage Trip Settings
Voltage at Point of Common Coupling Maximum Trip Time* # of Cycles (Assuming 120 V Base) % of Nominal Voltage (Assuming 60Hz Nominal)
Seconds
Less than 60 Volts Less than 50% 10 Cycles 0.16 Seconds Greater than or equal to 60
volts but less than 106 volts
Greater than or equal to

Greater than 144Volts Greater than 120% 10 Cycles 0.16 Seconds * "Maximum Trip time" refers to the time between the onset of the abnormal condition and the Generating Facility ceasing to energize MVU’s Distribution System. Protective Function sensing equipment and circuits may remain connected to MVU’s Distribution System to allow sensing of electrical conditions for use by the "reconnect" feature. The purpose of the allowed time delay is to allow a Generating Facility to “ride through” short-term disturbances to avoid nuisance tripping. Set points shall not be user adjustable (though they may be field adjustable by qualified personnel). For Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating greater than 30 kVA, set points shall be field adjustable and different voltage set points and trip times from those in Table D.1 may be negotiated with MVU.
c. Paralleling. The Generating Facility shall parallel with MVU’s Distribution System without causing a voltage fluctuation at the Point of Common Coupling greater than ±5% of the prevailing voltage level of MVU’s Distribution System at the Point of Common Coupling.

A.11.c
Packet Pg. 326 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 75 d. Flicker. The Generating Facility shall not create objectionable flicker for other Customers on MVU’s Distribution System. To minimize the adverse voltage effects experienced by other Customers (IEEE1547-4.3.2), flicker at the Point of Common Coupling caused by the Generating Facility should not exceed the limits defined by the "Maximum Borderline of Irritation Curve" identified in IEEE 519-1992 (IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems, IEEE STD 519-1992). This requirement is necessary to minimize the adverse voltage affects experienced by other Customers on MVU’s Distribution System.

Generators may be connected and brought up to synchronous speed (as an induction motor) provided these flicker limits are not exceeded. e. Integration with MVU’s Distribution System Grounding. The grounding scheme of the Generating Facility interconnection shall not cause over-voltages that exceed the rating of the equipment connected to the MVU’s Distribution System and shall not disrupt the coordination of the ground fault protection on the MVU’s Distribution System (IEEE1547-

4.1.2) (See Section I.3.h).
f. Frequency: MVU controls system frequency, and the Generating Facility shall operate in synchronism with the MVU’s Distribution System.

Whenever MVU’s Distribution System frequency at the Point of Common Coupling is outside of the acceptable operating range (59.3-60.5 Hertz) for more than ten cycles, the Generating Facility’s Protective Functions shall cease to energize MVU’s Distribution System.
g. Harmonics. Harmonic distortion shall be in compliance with IEEE 519. h. Direct Current Injection. Generating Facilities should not inject direct current greater than 0.5% of rated output current into MVU’s Distribution System.
i. Power Factor. Each Generator in a Generating Facility shall be capable of operating at some point within a power factor range from 0.9 leading to 0.9 lagging. Operation outside this range is acceptable provided the reactive power of the Generating Facility is used to meet the reactive power needs of the Host Loads or that reactive power is otherwise provided under Rate Schedule by MVU. The Producer shall notify MVU if it is using the Generating Facility for power factor correction. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Producer and MVU, Generating Facilities shall automatically regulate power factor, not voltage, while operating in parallel with MVU’s Distribution System.
j. Unintended Islanding. Generating Facilities must mitigate their potential contribution to an Unintended Island. This can be accomplished by one of the following options: (1) incorporating certified Non-Islanding control functions into the Protective Functions, or (2) installation of non-export A.11.c
Packet Pg. 327 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 76 relays and protective equipment or (3) verifying that local loads always sufficiently exceed the Net Nameplate Rating of the Generating Facility. k. Fault Detection. A Generating Facility shall be equipped with Protective Functions designed to detect Distribution System faults, both line-to-line and line-to-ground, and promptly cease to energize the Distribution System in the event of a fault. For a Generating Facility that cannot detect these faults within two seconds, a transfer trip or equivalent function may be required. Reclose-blocking of MVU’s affected recloser(s) may also be required.

3. Technology Specific Requirements:
a. Three-Phase Synchronous Generators. For three-phase Generators, the Generating Facility circuit breakers shall be three-phase devices with electronic or electromechanical control. The Producer shall be responsible for properly synchronizing its Generating Facility with MVU’s Distribution System by means of either manual or automatic synchronizing equipment. Automatic synchronizing is required for all synchronous Generators that have a Short Circuit Contribution Ratio (SCCR) exceeding 0.05. Loss of synchronism protection is not required except as may be necessary to meet Section D.2.d (Flicker) (IEEE1547-4.2.5). Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Producer and MVU, synchronous Generators shall automatically regulate power factor, not voltage, while operating in parallel with MVU’s Distribution System. A power system stabilization function is specifically not required for Generating Facilities under 10 MW Net Nameplate Rating.
b. Induction Generators. Induction Generators (except self-excited Induction Generators) do not require a synchronizing Function. Starting or rapid load fluctuations on induction generators can adversely impact MVU’s Distribution System's voltage. Corrective step-switched capacitors or other techniques may be necessary and may cause undesirable ferro-resonance. When these counter measures (e.g., additional capacitors) are installed on the Producer's side of the Point of Common Coupling, MVU must review these measures. Additional equipment may be required as determined in a Supplemental Review or an Interconnection Study.
c. Inverters. Utility-interactive inverters do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Non-utility-interactive or “stand-alone” inverters shall not be used for Parallel Operation with MVU’s Distribution System.
d. Single-Phase Generators. For single-phase Generators connected to a shared single-phase secondary system, the maximum Net Nameplate Rating of the Generating Facilities shall be 20 kVA. Generators connected to a center-tapped neutral 240-volt service must be installed such that no more than 6 kVA of imbalanced power is applied to the two “legs” of the 240-volt service. For Dedicated Distribution Transformer services, the maximum Net Nameplate A.11.c

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 77 Rating of a single-phase Generating Facility shall be the transformer nameplate rating.

E. INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

MODIFICATIONS

1. Scope and Ownership of Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System Modifications
a. Scope. Parallel Operation of Generating Facilities may require Interconnection Facilities or modifications to MVU’s Distribution System (“Distribution System modifications”). The type, extent and costs of Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System modifications shall be consistent with this Rule and determined through the Supplemental Review and/or Interconnection Studies described in the application process.
b. Ownership. Interconnection Facilities installed on Producer’s side of the Point of Common Coupling may be owned, operated and maintained by the Producer or MVU. Interconnection Facilities installed on MVU’s side of the Point of Common Coupling and Distribution System modifications shall be owned, operated and maintained only by MVU.

2. Responsibility of Costs of Interconnecting a Generating Facility a. Review, Study, and Additional Commissioning Test Verification (preparallel inspections) Costs. A producer shall be responsible for the reasonably incurred costs of the review’s studies, and additional Commissioning Test verifications (pre-parallel inspections) conducted pursuant to the application section of this Rule. If the initial Commissioning Test verification (pre-parallel inspection) is not successful through no fault of MVU, MVU may impose upon the Producer a cost-based charge for subsequent Commissioning Test verifications (pre-parallel inspections). All Costs for additional Commissioning Test verifications (pre-parallel inspections) shall be paid by Producer within thirty days of receipt of MVU’s invoice. Additional costs, if any, will be specified on the invoice. If the initial Commissioning test (pre-paralleling inspection) is not successful through the fault of the MVU, that visit will not be considered the initial Commissioning Test (pre-parallel inspection). b. Facility Costs. A Producer shall be responsible for all costs associated with Interconnection Facilities owned by the Producer. The Producer shall also be responsible for any costs reasonably incurred by MVU in providing, operating, or maintaining the Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System modifications required solely for the Interconnection of the Producer’s Generating Facility with MVU’s Distribution System.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 78 c. Separation of Costs. Should MVU combine the installation of Interconnection Facilities or Distribution System modifications required for the Interconnection of a Generating Facility with modifications to MVU’s Distribution System to serve other Customers or Producers, MVU shall not include the costs of such separate or incremental facilities in the amounts billed to the Producer.

3. Installation of Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System Modifications a. Agreement Required. The costs for Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System modifications shall be paid by the Producer pursuant to the provisions contained in the Interconnection Agreement. Where the type and extent of the Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System Improvements warrant additional detail, the detail shall be found in a separate agreement between the Producer and MVU, and MVU’s applicable rate schedules and rules for Added Facilities.
b. Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System Modifications. Except as provided for in Section E.3.c. of this Rule, Interconnection Facilities connected to MVU’s side of the Point of Common Coupling and Distribution System modifications shall be provided, installed, owned and maintained by MVU at Producer’s expense.
c. Third-Party Installations. Subject to the approval of MVU, a Producer may at its option employ a qualified contractor to provide and install Interconnection Facilities or Producer paid Distribution System modifications, to be owned and operated by MVU, on MVU’s side of the Point of Common Coupling. Such Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System modifications shall be installed in accordance with MVU's design and specifications. Upon final inspection and acceptance by MVU, the Producer shall transfer ownership of such Producer installed Interconnection Facilities or Distribution System modifications to MVU and such facilities shall thereafter be owned and maintained by MVU. The Producer shall pay MVU's reasonable cost of design, administration, and monitoring of the installation for such facilities to ensure compliance with MVU's requirements. The Producer shall also be responsible for all costs associated with the transfer of Producer installed Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System modifications to MVU.

F. METERING, MONITORING AND TELEMETRY

3. Net Generation Output Metering (NGOM): Generating Facilities’ Customers may be required to install NGOM for evaluation, monitoring and verification purposes, to satisfy applicable CAISO reliability requirements, and for Distribution System planning and operations.

The relevant factors in determining the need for NGOM are as listed below:
a. Data requirements in proportion to need for information; b. Producer’s election to install equipment that adequately addresses MVU’s operational requirements;
c. Accuracy and type of required Metering consistent with purposes of collecting data;
d. Cost of Metering relative to the need for and accuracy of the data; e. The Generating Facility’s size relative to the cost of the Meter/monitoring; f. Other means of obtaining the data (e.g., Generating Facility logs, proxy data etc.);
g. Requirements under any interconnection Agreement with the Producer.

The requirements in this Section may not apply to Metering of Generating Facilities operating under MVU’s Net Energy Metering Rate Schedule pursuant to the California Public Utilities Cod Section 2827, et seq. Nothing in this Section F.3 supersedes Section B.4.

4. Point of Common Coupling Metering: For purposes of assessing MVU charges for retail service, the Producer’s PCC Metering shall be a bi-directional meter so that power deliveries to and from the Producer’s site can be separately recorded.

Alternately, the Producer may, at its sole option and cost, require MVU to install multi-metering equipment to separately record power deliveries to MVU’s Distribution System and retail purchases from MVU. Where necessary, such PCC Metering shall be designed to prevent reverse registration.

5. Telemetering: If the nameplate rating of the Generating Facility is 1 MW or greater, Telemetering equipment at the Net Generator Output Metering location may be required at the Producer's expense. If the Generating Facility is Interconnected to a portion of MVU’s Distribution System operating at a voltage below 10 kV, then Telemetering equipment may be required on Generating Facilities 250 kW or greater. MVU shall only require Telemetering to the extent A.11.c

6. Location: Where MVU-owned Metering is located on the Producer’s premises, Producer shall provide, at no expense to MVU, a suitable location for all such Metering Equipment.

7. Costs of Metering: The Producer will bear all costs of the Metering required by this Rule, including the incremental costs of operating and maintaining the Metering Equipment.

G. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
The following procedures will apply for disputes arising from this Rule:

1. The City Council shall have jurisdiction to interpret, add, delete or modify any provision of this Rule or of any agreements entered into between MVU and the Producer to implement this Rate Schedule (“The Implementing Agreements") and to resolve disputes regarding MVU’s performance of its obligations under its rules, the applicable agreements, and requirements related to the Interconnection of the Producer’s Generating or Interconnection Facilities pursuant to this Rule.

2. The dispute shall be submitted in writing by the Producer to MVU. Authorized representatives from both Parties shall meet and confer to try to resolve the dispute.

If the Parties cannot resolve the dispute, the dispute will be submitted to the City Council for resolution. Their decision shall be final.

3. Pending resolution of any dispute under this Section, the Parties shall proceed diligently with the performance of their respective obligations under this Rule and the Implementing Agreements, unless the Implementing Agreements have been terminated. Disputes as to the application and implementation of this Section shall be subject to resolution pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section.

H. SYSTEM SIZING REQUIREMENTS

1. Residential Systems
a. 12 Months of Usage Data Exists
Residential Systems must be designed such that they do not produce more power than they consume on an annual basis. This means that the estimated output of the generating facility, using the CEC-AC nameplate rating for inverter-based generating facilities, must not exceed the Customer’s previous annual usage in kWh.
b. 12 Months of Usage Data Does Not Exist
In the event that there is less than 12 months of previous recorded usage data, the following equation will be used to determine the maximum allowable CECAC nameplate rating for the inverter-based generating facility in watts:

A.11.c
Packet Pg. 332 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 81 1692 x [Number of Dwelling Units] + 0.75 x [Dwelling conditioned floor area in square feet]
c. Electric Vehicle Usage Calculation Proration
If the Customer enrolls in the Electric Vehicle Off-Peak Charging Discount Program, they can prorate their calculated usage or maximum allowable system size as follows:
i. The number of months that will be used to estimate the prorated usage from the electric vehicle shall be calculated as:

Number of Months = 12 – [number of months the vehicle has been registered to the Customer at the address]
If the Number of Months is calculated to be negative, no proration will be allowed.
ii. If the Customer has 12 months of recorded usage data, the following equation will be used to determine their annual usage in kWh:
iii. [Customer’s previous annual usage in kWh] + 500 kWh x Number of Months
iv. If the Customer has less than 12 months of recorded usage data, the following equation will be used to determine the maximum allowable CEC-AC nameplate rating for the inverter-based generating facility in watts:
1692 x [Number of Dwelling Units] + 0.75 x [Dwelling conditioned floor area in square feet] + 170 x Number of Months

2. Commercial or Industrial Systems
a. Expedited Interconnection
The estimated output of the Generating Facility must not exceed 50% of the Customer’s verified annual minimum daytime load. If there is less than 12 months of previous recorded usage data, the maximum allowable size in watts will be determined by MVU through Supplemental Review.
b. Supplemental Review Required
Supplemental review will be required if the Customer intends to install a generating facility that exceeds 50% of the Customer's verified annual minimum daytime load. Supplemental review will fall into two categories:

1. Generating facilities sized up to 100% of minimum daytime load with the installation of non-export relays which are deeded to MVU at the completion of installation.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 85 J. REVIEW PROCESS FOR APPLICATIONS TO INTERCONNECT

GENERATION FACILITIES

1. Introduction
This Review Process allows for rapid approval for the interconnection of those Generating Facilities that do not require an Interconnection Study. The review process includes a screening to determine if a Supplemental Review is required.

Note: Failure to pass any step of the review process means only that further review and/or studies are required before the Generating Facility can be approved for Interconnection with MVU’s Distribution System. It does not mean that the Generating Facility cannot be Interconnected. Though not explicitly covered in the Initial Review Process the Generating Facility shall be designed to meet all of the applicable requirements in Section D.

2. Purpose
The review determines the following:
a. If a Generating Facility qualifies for Simplified Interconnection; b. If a Generating Facility can be made to qualify for Interconnection with a Supplemental Review determining any additional requirements; or c. If an Interconnection Study is required, the cost estimate and schedule for performing the Interconnection Study.

3. Review Process:
a. If the Application has sufficient data and the design meets the size restrictions for Residential Service, or Expedited Interconnection for Commercial or Industrial Service per Section H. The application qualifies for Simplified Interconnection.
b. If the Application is requesting service under any of the additional authorized uses, MVU will perform Supplemental Review to provide feedback to the Applicant for next steps to follow in the Interconnection Process.

K. CERTIFICATION AND TESTING CRITERIA

1. INTRODUCTION
This Section describes the test procedures and requirements for equipment used for the Interconnection of Generating Facilities to MVU’s Distribution System.

Included are Type Testing, Production Testing, Commissioning Testing and Periodic Testing. The procedures listed rely heavily on those described in appropriate Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) documents—most notably UL 1741 and IEEE 929, as well as the testing described in May 1999 New York State Public Services Commission Standardized A.11.c
Packet Pg. 337 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 86 Interconnection Requirements. As noted in Section A, this rule has been revised to be consistent with ANSI/IEEE 1547-2003 Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems.

The tests described here, together with the technical requirements in Section D of this Rule, are intended to provide assurance that the Generating Facility’s equipment will not adversely affect MVU’s Distribution System and that a Generating Facility will cease providing power to MVU’s Distribution System under abnormal conditions. The tests were developed assuming a low level of Generating Facility penetration or number of connections to MVU’s Distribution System. At high levels of Generating Facility penetration, additional requirements and corresponding test procedures may need to be defined.

Section J also provides criteria for “Certifying” Generators or inverters. Once a Generator or inverter has been Certified per this Rule, it may be considered suitable for Interconnection with MVU’s Distribution System. Subject to the exceptions described in Section J, MVU will not repeat the design review or require retesting of such Certified Equipment. It should be noted that the Certification process is intended to facilitate Generating Facility Interconnections. Certification is not a prerequisite to interconnect a Generating Facility.

The revisions made to this rule relative to IEEE 1547-2003 have resulted in changes in set points, test criteria, test procedures, and other requirements that will impact previously certified or listed equipment as well as equipment currently under evaluation. These changes were made to provide consistency with IEEE 1547.

Equipment that is certified or that has been submitted to a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) for testing prior to the adoption of the revised Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1741 titled Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection Systems Equipment for use with Distributed Energy Resources and that subsequently meet the provisions Rule 21 certification requirements will continue to be accepted as Certified Equipment for Interconnection Applications submitted through May 7, 2007, the effective date of the revised UL 1741. [this change will be incorporated by Advice Letter in Dec. 2005]

2. CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED INTERCONNECTION EQUIPMENT a. Certified Equipment
Equipment tested and approved (e.g., “Listed”) by an accredited NRTL as having met both the Type Testing and Production Testing requirements described in this document is considered to be Certified Equipment for purposes of Interconnection with MVU’s Distribution System. Certification may apply to either a pre-packaged system or an assembly of components that address the necessary functions. Type Testing may be done in the manufactures’ factory or test laboratory, or in the field. At the discretion of the testing laboratory, field-certification may apply only to the particular A.11.c
Packet Pg. 338 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 87 installation tested. In such cases, some or all of the tests may need to be repeated at other installations.

When equipment is certified by a NRTL, the NRTL shall provide to the manufacturer, at a minimum, a Certificate with the following information for each device:

Administrative:
1) The effective date of Certification or applicable serial number (range or first in series), and/or other proof that Certification is current; 2) Equipment model number(s) of the Certified Equipment; 3) The software version utilized in the equipment, if applicable; 4) Test procedures specified (including date or revision number); and 5) Laboratory accreditation (by whom and to what standard).

Technical (as appropriate):
1) Device ratings (kW, kVA, Volts, Amps, etc.);
2) Maximum available fault current in Amps;
3) In-rush Current in Amps;
4) Trip points, if factory set (trip value and timing); 5) Trip point and timing ranges for adjustable settings; 6) Nominal power factor or range if adjustable;
7) If the equipment is Certified for Non-Exporting and the method used (reverse power or under power); and
8) If the equipment is Certified Non-Islanding.

It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer to ensure that Certification information is made publicly available by the manufacturer, the testing laboratory or by a third party.
b. Non-Certified Equipment
For non-Certified Equipment, some or all of the tests described in this Rule may be required by MVU for each Generating Facility and/or Interconnection Facilities. The manufacturer or a laboratory acceptable to A.11.c
Packet Pg. 339 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 88 MVU may perform these tests. Test results for Non-Certified Equipment must be submitted to MVU for the Supplemental Review. Approval by MVU for equipment used in a particular Generating Facility and/or Interconnection Facilities does not guarantee MVU’s approval for use in other Generating Facility and/or Interconnection Facilities.

3. TYPE TESTING
a. Type Tests and Criteria for Interconnection Equipment Certification. Type Testing provides a basis for determining that equipment meets the specifications for being designated as Certified Equipment under this Rule.

The requirements described in this Section cover only issues related to Interconnection and are not intended to address equipment safety or other issues.

Table J.1. defines the test criteria by Generator or inverter technology.

While UL 17411 was written specifically for inverters, the requirements are readily adaptable to synchronous Generators, induction Generators, as well as single/multi-function controllers and protection relays. Until a universal test standard is developed, MVU or NRTL shall adapt the procedures referenced in Table J.1 as appropriate and necessary for a Generating Facility and/or Interconnection Facilities or associated equipment performance and its control and Protective Functions. The tests shall be performed in the sequence shown in Table J.2 below.

Equipment that passes the Non-Export test procedure described in Section J.7.a. will be considered Non-Exporting for the purposes of these Interconnection requirements. This test is required only for equipment for which a Certified Non-Export designation is desired.
d. In-rush Current Test
Generation equipment that utilizes MVU power to motor up to speed will be tested using the procedure defined in Section J.7.b. to determine the maximum current drawn during this startup process. The resulting In-rush Current is used to estimate the Starting Voltage Drop.
e. Surge Withstand Capability Test
The interconnection equipment shall be tested for the surge withstand requirement in D.1.c in all normal operating modes in accordance with IEEE Std C62.45-2002 for equipment rated less than 1000 V to confirm that the surge withstand capability is met by using the selected test level(s) from IEEE Std C62.41.2-2002. Interconnection equipment rated greater than 1000 V shall be tested in accordance with manufacturer or system integrator designated applicable standards. For interconnection equipment signal and control circuits, use IEEE Std C37.90.1-2002. These tests shall confirm the equipment did not fail, did not misoperate, and did not provide misinformation (IEEE1547-

5.1.3.2). The location/exposure category for which the equipment has been tested shall be clearly marked on the equipment label or in the equipment documentation. External surge protection may be used to protect the equipment in harsher location/exposure categories.
f. Synchronization Test
This test is applied to synchronous Generators, self-excited induction generators, and inverters capable of operating as voltage-source while connected to MVU’s Distribution System. The test is also applied to the resynchronization Function (transition from stand-alone to parallel operation) on equipment that provides such functionality. This test may not need to be performed on both the synchronization and re-synchronization functions if the manufacturers can verify to the satisfaction of the testing organization that monitoring and controls hardware and software are common to both functions. This test is not necessary for induction generators or current-source inverters. Instead, the ln-rush Current test Section J.3.d shall be applied to those generators.

This test shall demonstrate that at the moment of the paralleling-device closure, all three synchronization parameters in Table J.3 are within the stated limits.

Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 91 This test shall also demonstrate that if any of the parameters are outside of the limits stated in the table, the paralleling-device shall not close (IEEE 1547-

5.1.2A). The test will start with only one of the three parameters: (1) voltage difference between Generating Facility and MVU’s Distribution System; (2) frequency difference; or (3) phase angle outside of the synchronization specification. Verify that the Generating Facility is brought within specification prior to synchronization. Repeat the test five times for each of the three parameters. For manual synchronization with synch check or manual control with auto synchronization, the test must verify that paralleling does not occur until the parameters are brought within specifications.

g. Paralleling Device Withstand Test
The di-electric voltage withstand test specified in Section J.1 shall be performed on the paralleling device to ensure compliance with those requirements specified in Section D.1.c (IEEE 1547-5.1.3.3).

4. Production Testing
As a minimum, each interconnection system shall be subjected to the Utility Voltage and Frequency Variation Test procedure described in UL1741 under Manufacturing and Production Tests, Section 68 and the Synchronization test specified in Section J.3.f Interconnection systems with adjustable set points shall be tested at a single set of set points as specified by the manufacturer. This test may be performed in the factory or as part of a Commissioning Test (Section J.5.).

5. Commissioning Testing
a. Commissioning Testing, where required, will be performed on-site to verify protective settings and functionality. Upon initial Parallel Operation of a Generating Facility, or any time interface hardware or software is changed that may affect the functions listed below, a Commissioning Test must be performed. An individual qualified in testing protective equipment (professional engineer, factory–certified technician, or licensed electrician with experience in testing protective equipment) must perform Commissioning Testing in accordance with the manufacturer’s A.11.c

MVU may require written Commissioning test procedure be submitted to MVE at least 10 working days prior to the performance of the Commissioning Test. MVU has the right to witness Commissioning Test, MVU may also require written certification by the installer describing which tests were performed and their results. Protective Functions to be tested during commissioning, particularly with respect to non-Certified equipment, may consist of the following:
(1) Over and under voltage
(2) Over and under frequency
(3) Anti-Islanding function (if applicable)
(4) Non-Exporting function (if applicable)
(5) Inability to energize dead line
(6) Time delay on restart after utility source is stable (7) Utility system fault detection (if used)
(8) Synchronizing controls (if applicable)
(9) Other Interconnection Protective Functions that may be required as part of the Interconnection Agreement
Commissioning Test shall include visual inspections of the interconnection equipment and protective settings to confirm compliance with the interconnection requirements.
b. Other checks and tests that may need to be performed include:
(1) Verifying final Protective Function settings
(2) Trip test (J.5.f)
(3) In-service tests (J.5.g)
c. Certified Equipment
Generating Facilities qualifying for Simplified Interconnection incorporate Certified Equipment that have, at a minimum, passed the Type Tests and Production Tests described in this Rule and are judged to have little or no potential impact on MVU’s Distribution System. For such Generating Facilities,
it is necessary to perform only the following tests:
(1) Protective Function settings that have been changed after Production Testing will require field verification. Tests shall be performed using injected secondary frequencies, voltages and currents, applied waveforms, at a test connection using a Generator to simulate abnormal utility voltage or frequency, or varying the set points to show that the device trips at the measured (actual) utility voltage or frequency.

Non-certified Equipment shall be subjected to the appropriate tests described in Type Testing (Section J.3.) as well as those described in Certified Equipment Commissioning Tests (Section J.5.c.). With MVU’s approval, these tests may be performed in the factory, in the field as part of commissioning, or a combination of both. MVU, at its discretion, may also approve a reduced set of tests for a particular Generating Facility or, for example, if it determines it has sufficient experience with the equipment.
e. Verification of Settings
At the completion of Commission testing, the Producer shall confirm all devices are set to MVU-approved settings. Verification shall be documented in the Commissioning Test Certification.
f. Trip Tests
Interconnection Protective Functions and devices (e.g. reverse power relays) that have not previously been tested as part of the Interconnection Facilities with their associated interrupting devices (e.g. contactor or circuit breaker) shall be trip tested during commissioning. The trip test shall be adequate to prove that the associated interrupting devices open when the protective devices operate.

Interlocking circuits between Protective Function devices or between interrupting devices shall be similarly tested unless they are part of a system that has been tested and approved during manufacturing.
g. In-service Tests
Interconnection Protective Functions and devices that have not previously been tested as part of the Interconnection Facilities with their associated instrument transformers or that are wired in the field shall be given an in-service test during commissioning. This test will verify proper wiring, polarity, CT/PT ratios, and proper operation of the measuring circuits. The in-service test shall be made with the power system energized and carrying a known level of current. A measurement shall be made of the magnitude and phase angle of each A.11.c

For protective devices with builtin Metering Functions that report current and voltage magnitudes and phase angles, or magnitudes of current, voltage, and real and reactive power, the metered values may be used for in-service testing. Otherwise, portable ammeters, voltmeters, and phase-angle meters shall be used.

6. Periodic Testing
Periodic Testing of Interconnection-related Protective Functions shall be performed as specified by the manufacturer, or at least every four years. All Periodic Tests prescribed by the manufacturer shall be performed. The Producer shall maintain Periodic Test reports or a log for inspection by MVU. Periodic Testing conforming to MVU test intervals for the particular Line Section may be specified by MVU under special circumstances, such as high fire hazard areas. Batteries used to activate any Protective Function shall be checked and logged once per month for proper voltage.

Once every four years, the battery must be either replaced or a discharge test performed.

7. Type Testing Procedures Not Defined in Other Standards This Section describes the additional Type Tests necessary to qualify a device as Certified under this Rule. These Type Tests are not contained in Underwriters Laboratories UL 1741 Standard Inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems, or other referenced standards.
a. Non-Exporting Test Procedures
The Non-Exporting test is intended to verify the operation of relays, controllers and inverters designed to limit the export of power and certify the equipment as meeting the requirements of Screen 2, Options 1 and 2, of the review process. Tests are provided for discrete relay packages and for controllers and inverters with the intended Functions integrated.
(1) Discrete Reverse Power Relay Test
This version of the Non-Exporting test procedure is intended for discrete reverse power and underpower relay packages provided to meet the requirements of Options 1 and 2 of Screen 2. It should be understood that in the reverse power application, the relay will provide a trip output with power flowing in the export (toward MVU’s Distribution System) direction.

Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Pickup Level Settings
Determine the corresponding secondary pickup current for the desired export power flow of 0.5 secondary watts (the minimum pickup setting, assumes 5 amp and 120V CT/PT secondary). Apply nominal voltage with minimum current setting at zero (0) degrees phase angle in the trip direction. Increase the current to pickup level.

Observe the relay’s (LCD or computer display) indication of power A.11.c
Packet Pg. 346 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 95 values. Note the indicated power level at which the relay trips. The power indication should be within 2% of the expected power. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat this test at the midpoint, and maximum settings. Repeat at phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate (measured watts will be zero or negative).

Step 2: Leading Power Factor Test
Apply rated voltage with a minimum pickup current setting (calculated value for system application) and apply a leading power factor load current in the non-trip direction (current lagging voltage by 135 degrees). Increase the current to relay rated current and verify that the relay does not operate. For relays with adjustable settings, this test should be repeated at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum settings.

Step 3: Minimum Power Factor Test
At nominal voltage and with the minimum pickup (or ranges) determined in Step 1, adjust the current phase angle to 84 or 276 degrees. Increase the current level to pickup (about 10 times higher than at 0 degrees) and verify that the relay operates. Repeat for phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate.

Step 4: Negative Sequence Voltage Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated relay voltage and current at 180 degrees from tripping direction, to simulate normal load conditions (for three-phase relays, use Ia at 180, Ib at 60 and Ic at 300 degrees). Remove phase-1 voltage and observe that the relay does not operate. Repeat for phases-2 and 3.

Step 5: Load Current Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated voltage and current at 180 degrees from the tripping direction, to simulate normal load conditions (use Ia at 180, Ib at 300 and Ic at 60 degrees).

Observe that the relay does not operate.

Step 6: Unbalanced Fault Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated voltage and 2 times rated current, to simulate an unbalanced fault in the nontrip direction (use Va at 0 degrees, Vb and Vc at 180 degrees, Ia at 180 degrees, Ib at 0 degrees, and Ic at 180 degrees). Observe that the relay, especially single phase, does operate properly.

Step 7: Time Delay Settings Test

Packet Pg. 347 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 96 Apply Step 1 settings and set time delay to minimum setting. Adjust the current source to the appropriate level to determine operating time, and compare against calculated values. Verify that the timer stops when the relay trips. Repeat at midpoint and maximum delay settings.

Step 8: Dielectric Test
Perform the test described in IMVU 414 using 2 kV RMS for 1 minute.

Step 9: Surge Withstand Test
Perform the surge withstand test described in IEEE C37.90.1.1989 or the surge withstand capability test described in J.3.e. (2) Discrete Underpower Relay Test
This version of the Non-Exporting test procedure is intended for discrete underpower relay packages and meets the requirements of Option 2 of Screen 2. A trip output will be provided when import power (toward the Producer’s load) drops below the specified level.

Note: For an underpower relay, pickup is defined as the highest power level at which the relay indicates that the power is less than the set level.

Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Pickup Level Settings
Determine the corresponding secondary pickup current for the desired power flow pickup level of 5% of peak load minimum pickup setting. Apply rated voltage and current at 0 (zero) degrees phase angle in the direction of normal load current. Decrease the current to pickup level. Observe the relay’s (LCD or computer display) indication of power values. Note the indicated power level at which the relay trips. The power indication should be within 2% of the expected power. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat the test at the midpoint, and maximum settings. Repeat at phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay operates (measured watts will be zero or negative).

Step 2: Leading Power Factor Test
Using the pickup current setting determined in Step 1, apply rated voltage and rated leading power factor load current in the normal load direction (current leading voltage by 45 degrees). Decrease the current to 145% of the pickup level determined in Step 1 and verify that the relay does not operate. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat the test at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum settings.

Step 3: Minimum Power Factor Test
A.11.c
Packet Pg. 348 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 97 At nominal voltage and with the minimum pickup (or ranges) determined in Step 1, adjust the current phase angle to 84 or 276 degrees. Decrease the current level to pickup (about 10% of the value at 0 degrees) and verify that the relay operates. Repeat for phase angles 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay operates for any current less than rated current.

Step 4: Negative Sequence Voltage Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated relay voltage and 25% of rated current in the normal load direction, to simulate light load conditions. Remove phase 1 voltage and observe that the relay does not operate. Repeat for Phases-2 and 3.

Step 5: Unbalanced Fault Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated voltage and two times rated current, to simulate an unbalanced fault in the normal load direction (use Va at 0 degrees, Vb and Vc at 180 degrees, Ia at 0 degrees, Ib at 180 degrees, and Ic at 0 degrees).

Observe that the relay (especially single-phase types) operates properly.

Step 6: Time Delay Settings Test
Apply Step 1 settings and set time delay to minimum setting. Adjust the current source to the appropriate level to determine operating time, and compare against calculated values. Verify that the timer stops when the relay trips. Repeat at midpoint and maximum delay settings.

Step 7: Dielectric Test
Perform the test described in IEC 414 using 2 kV RMS for 1 minute.

Step 8: Surge Withstand Test
Perform the surge withstand test described in IEEE C37.90.1.1989 or the surge withstand test described in Section J.3.e. (3) Tests for Inverters and Controllers with Integrated Functions Inverters and controllers designed to provide reverse or underpower functions shall be tested to certify the intended operation of this function.

Two methods are acceptable:

Method 1: If the inverter or controller utilizes external current/voltage measurement to determine the reverse or underpower condition, then the inverter or controller shall be functionally tested by application of appropriate secondary currents and potentials as described in the Discrete Reverse Power Relay Test, Section J.7.a.(1) of this Rule.

A.11.c
Packet Pg. 349 Attachment: MVU_Rules Updated 11-29-23 (6349 : APPROVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Exhibit B
Resolution No. 2023-XX Date Adopted: December 19, 2023 98 Method 2: If external secondary current or voltage signals are not used, then unit-specific tests must be conducted to verify that power cannot be exported across the PCC for a period exceeding two seconds. These may be factory tests, if the measurement and control points are integral to the unit, or they may be performed in the field.
b. In-rush Current Test Procedures
This test will determine the maximum In-rush Current drawn by the Generator. (1) Locked-Rotor Method
Use the test procedure defined in NEMA MG-1 (manufacturer’s data is acceptable if available).
(2) Start-up Method
Install and setup the Generating Facility equipment as specified by the manufacturer. Using a calibrated oscilloscope or data acquisition equipment with appropriate speed and accuracy, measure the current draw at the Point of Interconnection as the Generating Facility starts up and parallels with MVU’s Distribution System. Startup shall follow the normal, manufacturerspecified procedure. Sufficient time and current resolution and accuracy shall be used to capture the maximum current draw within 5%. In-rush Current is defined as the maximum current draw from MVU during the startup process, using a 10-cycle moving average. During the test, the utility source, real or simulated, must be capable of maintaining voltage within +/- 5% of rated at the connection to the unit under test. Repeat this test five times. Report the highest 10-cycle current as the In-rush Current. A graphical representation of the time-current characteristic along with the certified In-rush Current must be included in the test report and made available to MVU.
