Approved by City Council: Council Resolution
Effective Date:

City of Riverside Distributed Generation Facilities Interconnection Public Utilities Department 22-7
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 equipment shall not impact the operation of other protective devices utilized on the Distribution System in a manner that would affect RU's capability of providing reliable service to its Customers.
d. Suitable Equipment Required. Circuit breakers or other interrupting devices 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 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 one device shall not potentially compromise the safety and reliability of RPU's Distribution System.
e. Visible Disconnect Required. The Producer shall furnish and install a manual disconnect device that has a Visible Disconnect to isolate the Generating Facility from RU's Distribution System. The device must be accessible to RPU personnel and be capable of being locked in the open position. Generating Facilities with Non-Islanding inverters totaling 1 kVA or less are exempt from this requirement.

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 applied on a center-tapped neutral 240-volt service must be installed such that no more than 6 kVA of imbalance in capacity exists between the two sides of the 240-volt service. For Dedicated Distribution Transformer services, the maximum Net Nameplate Rating of a single-phase Generating Facility shall be the transformer nameplate rating.
g. Drawings Required. RPU, prior to Parallel Operation or Momentary Parallel Operation of the Generating Facility, shall approve the Producer's protection and control diagrams of the Generating Facility.

Generating Facilities equipped with a protection and control scheme previously approved by RPU for system-wide application or with Certified Equipment only may satisfy this requirement by reference to previously approved drawings and diagrams.

City of Riverside Distributed Generation Facilities Interconnection Public Utilities Department 22-8
Prevention of Interference.

The Producer shall not operate equipment that superimposes upon RU's Distribution System a voltage or current that interferes with RPU operations, service to RPU Customers, or RPU 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 RPU. If the Producer does not take timely corrective action, or continues to operate the equipment causing interference without restriction or limit, RPU may, without liability, disconnect the Producers equipment from the Distribution System, in accordance with Section B.9 of this Rule.

To eliminate undesirable interference caused by operation of the Generating Facility, each Generating Facility shall meet the following criteria:
a. Normal voltage operating range. The voltage operating range limits for Generating Facilities shall be selected as a protection function that responds to abnormal Distribution System conditions and not as a voltage regulation function.
(1) Generating Facilities (11 kVA or less). Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating 11 kVA or less shall be capable of operating within the limits normally experienced on the Distribution System. The operating range shall be selected in a manner that minimizes nuisance tripping between 106 volts and 132 volts (88-110% of nominal voltage) on a 120-volt base.

Generating Facilities shall cease to energize RPU circuits whenever the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling deviates from the allowable voltage operating range.
(2) Generating Facilities (Greater than 11 kVA). RPU may have specific operating voltage ranges for Generating Facilities with Gross Nameplate Ratings greater than 11 kVA and 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 apolicable interconnection
voltage.
(3) Voltage Disturbances. System voltage assumes a nominal 120 V base. The Generator should sense abnormal voltage and respond accordingly. The following conditions should be met, with voltages in root mean square and measured at the Point of Common Coupling, as described in Table D-1.

*"Maximum Trip time" refers to the time between the onset of the abnormal condition and the Generating Facility ceasing to energize the Distribution System. Protective Function sensing devices and circuits may remain connected to the Distribution System to allow sensing of electrical conditions for use by the "reconnect" feature.

The purpose of the time delay is to allow Generating Facility to "ride through" short- term disturbances to avoid nuisance tripping. For Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of 11 kVA or less, the set points are to be non-user adjustable. For Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating greater than 11 kVA, different voltage set points and trip times from those in Table D-1 may be negotiated with RPU. b. Flicker. Any voltage 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 (IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems, IEEE STD 519-1992, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Piscataway, NJ April 1992) This requirement is necessary to minimize the adverse voltage effects experienced by other customers on RU's Distribution System. Induction Generators may be connected and brought up to synchronous speed (as an induction motor) provided these flicker limits are not exceeded.

Frequency. RPU controls system frequency, and the Generating Facility shall operate in synchronism with the_Distribution System.

Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of 11 kVA or less shall have a fixed operating frequency range of 59.3-60.5 Hertz. The Generating Facility must cease to energize RU's Distribution System in a maximum of ten cycles should Distribution System remain outside of the frequency limits. The purpose of the time delay is to allow the Generating Facility to ride through short-term disturbances to avoid nuisance tripping. RPU may require adjustable operating frequency Adopted by Board of Public Utilities: Board Resolution

settings for Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating greater than 11 KVA.
d. Harmonics. Harmonic distortion shall be in compliance with IEEE 519.

Exception: The harmonic distortion of a Generating Facility located at a Customer's site shall be evaluated using the same criteria as for the loads at that site.

(2) Induction Generators. Induction Generators do not require a synchronizing function. Starting or rapid load fluctuations on induction generators can adversely impact the Distribution System's voltage. Corrective step-switched capacitors or other techniques may be necessary and may cause undesirable
ferroresonance. When these counter measures (e.g. additional capacitors) are installed on the Producer's side of the Point of Common Coupling, RPU must review these measures.

Additional equipment may be required as determined in a Supplemental Review or an Interconnection Study.
(3) Inverter Systems. Utility-interactive inverters do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Non-utility-interactive o stand-alone" inverters shall not be used for parallel operatior with the Distribution System.

Supplemental Generating Facility Requirements
(1) Unintended Islanding For Generating Facilities that fail the Export Screen (Section I.3.b.) Generating Facilities must mitigate their potential contribution to an Unintended Island. This can be accomplished by one of the following options: (1) corporating cerified Non sanding can tocal loads suficient! or (2) veritying that local loads sutticienti
exceed the Net Nameplate Rating of the Generating Facility, or (3) incorporating a transfer trip or an equivalent Protective Function.
(2) Fault Detection. A Generating Facility with an SCCR exceeding

0.1 or that does not meet any one of the options for mitigating Unintended Islands in D.3.b.1 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 RPU's affected reclosers) may also be required by RPU for generators that exceed 15% of the peak load on the Line Section.

Initial Review Process for Applications to Interconnect a Generating Facility Introduction. This Initial Review Process was developed to create a path for selection and rapid approval for the Interconnection of those Generating Facilities that do not require an Interconnection Study. The Initial Review process includes a screening to determine if a supplemental review is required.

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

NOTE: Failure to pass any screen of the initial Review means only that further review or studies are required before the Generating Facility can be approved for interconnection with the RPU Distribution System. It does not mean that the Generating Facility cannot be interconnected.

Significance:

Special considerations must be given to the Generating Facilities proposed to be installed on networked secondary distribution systems because of the design and operational aspects of network protectors. There are no such considerations for radial b. Screen 2: Will power be exported across the PCC?
if Yes, the Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection.

If No, the Generating Facility must incorporate one of the following four Default setting shall be 0.1% (export) of transformer rating, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay.

To ensure at least minimum import of power an under-power Protective Function must be implemented at the PCC.

• If No, then the Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection.

Perform Supplemental Review.
• If Yes, the Generating Facility qualifies for Simplified Interconnection.

Line Configuration Screen:

Identify primary distribution line configuration that will serve the proposed Generating Facility. Based on the type of Interconnection to be used for the Generating Facility, determine from the following table if the proposed Generating Facility passes the screen.

If the primary distribution circuit serving the Generating Facility is of a three-wire type, or if the Generatina Facilitv's Interconnection transformer is single-phase and connected in a line-to-neutral configuration, then there is no concern about overvoltages to RU's or other Customer's equipment caused by loss of system neutral grounding during the operating time of anti-islanding protection.

Testing and Certification Criteria
Introduction
This Section describes the test procedures and requirements for equipment used for the Interconnection of a Generating Facility to RU's Distribution System. Included are Type Testing, Production Testing, Commissioning Testing, and Periodic Testing. The procedures listed rely heavily on those described in applicable Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Institute of Electrica and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) documents - most notably UL 1741 and IEEE 929 - as well as the testing described in the New York State Public Service Commission's Interconnection requirements'. These procedures and requirements were developed prior to the completion of IEEE P1547.

Standard for Distributed Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems, and should be revisited once that standard is published. 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 RU's Distribution System and that a Generating Facility will cease providing power to RU's Distribution System under abnormal conditions. The tests were developed assuming a low level of Generating Facility penetration. At high levels of Generating Facility penetration, other requirements and corresponding test procedures may need to be defined.

This test specification also provides a means of certifying equipment. Once a Generating Unit or device has been Certified per this Certification Process, it may be considered to be suitable for use as part of a Generating Facility interconnected with RU's Distribution System. Subject to the exceptions described in this Section, RPU will not require a Producer to repeat the design review or test the Protective Functions of equipment that has been Certified.

It should be noted the Certification process is intended to facilitate Generating Facility interconnections. Certification is not a prerequisite to interconnect a Generating Facility. The use of non-certified equipment may be acceptable subject to testing and approval by RPU as discussed below.

2. Certification Criteria
Equipment tested and approved (e.g. listed) by a NRTL as having met both the Type Testing and Production Testing requirements is considered to be Certified Equipment for purposes of Interconnection with RU'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 factory/test lab or in the field. At the discretion of the testing laboratory, field-certification may apply only to the particular installation tested.

In such cases, some or all of the tests may need to be repeated at other installations.

The use of Certified Equipment is not a requirement for interconnection.

However, the use of Certified Equipment will simplify the interconnection approval process by reducing Commissioning and additional test requirements. For non-certified equipment, some or all of the tests described in this document may be required by RPU for each Generating Facility. The manufacturer or a laboratory acceptable to RPU may perform these tests. Test results for non-certified equipment must be submitted to RPU as part of the application process for RPU's review and approval under the Supplemental Review. Approval by RPU for equipment used in a particular application does not guarantee RPU approval for use in other applications or by other California electric utilities.

a. Anti-Islanding Test
Devices that are tested to and pass the Anti-Islanding test procedure described in UL 1741 Section 46.3 will be considered Non-Islanding for the purposes of these interconnection requirements. This test is required only for devices for which a certified Non-Islanding designation is desired.
b. Non-Export Test
Devices that pass 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 devices for which a certified Non-Export designation is desired.
c. In-rush Current Test
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. d. Surge Withstand Capability Test
Interconnection equipment shall be tested for surge withstand capability (SWC), both oscillatory and fast transient, in accordance with the test procedure defined in IEEE/ANSI C62.45 using the peak values defined NS 06241 Tae CO in IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Tables 1 and 2 for location category B3. An acceptable result occurs even if the device is damaged by the surge, but is unable to operate or energize RU's Distribution System. If the device remains operable after being subject to the surge conditions, previous type tests related to RPU protection and power quality will need to be repeated to ensure the unit will still pass those tests following the surge test.
e. Synchronization Test
This test verifies that the unit synchronizes within the specified voltage/frequency/phase angle requirements. It is applied to Seneraig Faciate he root in special on l her e is brought within specification prior to synchronization.

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.

4. Production Testing
As a minimum, the Utility Voltage and Frequency Variation Test procedure described in UL1741 under Manufacturing and Production Tests, Section 68 shall be performed as part of routine production (100 percent) on all equipment used to interconnect Generating Facilities to RPU's Distribution System. This testing may be performed in the factory or as part of a Commissioning Test (Section J.5).

5. Commissioning Testing
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 manufacture's recommended test procedure to prove the settings and requirements of this Rule.

The RPU has the right to witness Commissioning Tests as described below, or to require written certification by the installer describing which tests were performed and their results.

Functions to be tested during commissioning, particularly with respect to non- certified equipment, may consist of the following:

Over-and under-voltage
Over- and under-frequency
Anti-Islanding (if applicable)
Non-Export (if applicable)
e. Inability to energize dead line
f. Time delay restart after utility source is stable
g. Utility system fault detection (if used)
Synchronizing controls (if applicable)
i. Other interconnection protective functions that may be required as part of the Interconnection Agreement
Other checks and tests that may need to be performed include:
a. Verifying final protective settings
Trip test
c. In-service test

Effective Date:

City of Riverside Distributed Generation Facilities Interconnection Public Utilities Department 22-31
a. 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 document, are judged to have little or no potential impact on RU's Distribution System. For such Generating Facilities, it is necessary to perform only the following test:

Protection settings that have been changed after factory testing will require field verification. Tests will be performed using injected secondary voltages and currents, applied waveforms, 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.

2. Non-Islanding function, if included, will be checked by opening a load break disconnect switch to verify the interconnection equipment ceases to energize the line and does not re-energize for the required time delay after the switch is closed.

Non-Export function, if included, will be checked using secondary injection techniques. This function may also be tested by adjusting the Generating Facility output and local loads to verify that the applicable non-export criteria (i.e., reverse power or under power) are met.

The Supplemental Review or an Interconnection Study may impose additional components or additional testing.
b. Non-Certified Equipment
Non-certified equipment shall be subjected to the appropriate tests described in Type Testing (Section J.3.) as well as those described ir reduced set of tests for a particular application or, for example, if it determines it has sufficient experience with the equipment.

Verification of Settings
If the testing is part of the commissioning process, then, at the completion of such testing, the Producer shall confirm all devices are set to RPU-approved settings. This step shall be documented in the Adopted by Board of Public Utilities: Board Resolution
Approved by City Council: Council Resolution
Effective Date:

City of Riverside Distributed Generation Facilities Interconnection Public Utilities Department 22-32
d. Trip Test
Interconnection protective devices (e.g. reverse power relay) that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system 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 devices or between interrupting devices shall be similarly tested unless they are part of a system that has been tested and approved during manufacture.

In-service Test
Interconnection protective devices that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system 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 ac voltage and current connected to the protective device and the results compared to expected values.

For protective devices with built-in metering functions that indicate current and voltage magnitudes and phase angles, or magnitudes of the metered values may
be used tor ase ree ted reactive peer he porter al
voltmeters, and phase-angle meters shall be used.

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 RPU Periodic Testing conforming to RPU test intervals for the particular line sectiol may be specified by RPU under special circumstances, such as high fire hazard areas.

A system that depends upon a battery for trip power 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.

Inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems, or other referenced standards.
a. Non-Export Test Procedure
The non-export 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 Initial Review Process. Tests are provided for discrete relay packages and for controllers and inverters that include the intended function.
(1) Reverse Power Relay Test
This version of the Non-Export test procedure is intended for stand-alone reverse power and under power relay packages provided to meet the requirements of Options 1 and 2 of the Non- Export Screen. It should be understood that in the reverse power application, the relay will provide a trip output with power in the export (toward RPU system) direction.

Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Pickup Level Settings
Determine the appropriate secondary pickup current for the desired export power flow of 0.5 secondary watts (the agreed- upon minimum pickup setting assumes 5 Amp and 120V CT/PT secondary). Apply nominal voltage with minimum current setting at 0 degrees in the trip direction. Increase the current to pick up 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 percent of the expected power. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat this test at the midpoint, and maximum settings.

At nominal voltage and with the minimum pickup (or ranges determined in Step 1, adjust the current phase angle to 84 or 21 degrees. Increase the current level to pickup (about 10 times higher than at 0 degrees) and verity that the relay operates.

Repeat for angles 90, 180, and 270 degrees and verify that the Step 4: Negative Sequence Voltage Test
Using the pickup settings determined in Step 1, apply rated rela! voltage and current at 180 degrees from tripping direction, to simulate normal load conditions (for 3-phase relays, use la at 180, Ib at 60 and Ic and 300 degrees). Remove Phase-1 voltage and observe that the relay does not operate.

Repeat for phase-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 la at 180, Is at 300 and lo 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 non-trip direction (use Va at 0 degrees, Vo and Vo at 180 degrees, la at 180 degrees, Ib at O degrees and lo at 180 degrees). Observe that the relay, especially single phase, does not misoperate.

Step 7: 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 8: Dielectric Test

(2) Under Power Relay Test
In the underpower application, the relay will provide a trip output when import power (toward the Producer) drops below the specified power 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 setting.

Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Determine the appropriate secondary pickup current for the desired power flow pickup level of 5% of peak load (the agreed- upon minimum pickup setting). Apply rated voltage and current setting at 0 degrees 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 percent 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

(3) Functional Test for Inverters and Controllers
Inverters and controllers designed to provide reverse or under power functions shall be tested to certify the intended operatior of this function. Two methods are provided
Method 1: If the controller utilizes external current/voltage measurement to determine the reverse or underpower condition, then the controller shall be functionally tested by application of appropriate secondary currents and potentials as described in the Reverse Power Relay Test, Section J.7.a.(1) of this Rule.

Method 2: If external secondary current or potential 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 tests may be factory tests, if the measurement and control points are part of a single unit, or may be provided for in the field.

b. In-Rush Current Test
This test will determine the maximum in-rush current drawn by the unit. (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 RU's Distribution System. Startup shall follow the normal, manufacturer-specified procedure.

Sufficient time and current resolution and accuracy shall be used to capture the maximum current draw within five percent. In-rush current is defined as the maximum current draw from RPU's Distribution System 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 +/-five percent 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 RPU.

a. Applicable Rate Schedule
For Customers applying for service at an existing service address, the Utility will assign a water rate schedule based on the characteristics of the service address. The Utility will presume that any water rate previously assigned to that service address is the appropriate schedule, unless the Customer requests a review for another applicable rate schedule, rate, or optional provislon. In certain situations when a Customer does not qualify for a water rate previously assigned to that service address, the Utility will assign the applicable rate to the Customer. The Utility assumes no responsibility for advising the Customer of lower optional rates under existing schedules available as a result of the Customer's changes to the characteristics of the service address. b. Change of Rate Schedule
A change to the applicable rate schedule may be made if the Utility determines that the Customer no longer qualifies for the assigned rate schedule. The change will become effective for service rendered after the next regular meter reading following verification and approval by the Utility of such eligibility. Any change in rate schedules pursuant to this section shall be made prospectively only.
