Concerns that spurred interest in DG & interconnection areas
• Cost– California Energy Crisis– Interconnection cost
• Environmental– Emissions from fuel fired plants– Green House Gases
• Reliability– Aging infrastructure– Power generation capacity did not keep pace with load
growth and led to inadequate reserve margin
October 18, 2003Distributed Generation Course
San Francisco Power Engineering Society 3 of 7
Major factors for power system design
• Safety
• Required Capacity Level
• Required Reliability Level
• Required Power Quality Level
• Minimum Cost
October 18, 2003Distributed Generation Course
San Francisco Power Engineering Society 4 of 7
Transmission System Characteristics
• Multiple paths to load
• Spare capacity in each path
• Potential bi-directional power flow in each path
• Ability to clear line fault with no interruption to load. Designed for one or more contingencies
• Traditional method to interconnect generator
• Complex to operate
• High cost & high reliability
October 18, 2003Distributed Generation Course
San Francisco Power Engineering Society 5 of 7
Distribution System Characteristics
• Radial – unidirectional power flow but may have backtie
• Moderate reliability• Line fault will interrupt downstream load • Designed to provide acceptable voltage and
frequency from zero load to maximum load in the load direction.
• Low cost• Simple to operate
October 18, 2003Distributed Generation Course
San Francisco Power Engineering Society 6 of 7
Existing System• Existing distribution system is engineered to
safely serve a given level of load at a given level of reliability with minimal cost.
• The distribution system is dynamic and changes to meet the requirements of load growth and other customer needs.
• The radial distribution system is configured similar to a tree, with the feeder outlet being the trunk and the leaves/fruits being the loads, supported by branches of progressively smaller sizes. So, no two circuit are exactly alike.
October 18, 2003Distributed Generation Course
San Francisco Power Engineering Society 7 of 7
• We have an interconnected system where disturbance at one location can propagate to other locations. We have seen this demonstrated in the 8/14/03 NE Blackout.
• It is very important that the utilities and DG developers work together to reduce the DG interconnection costs while preserving the power system integrity.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

What is a Distributed Energy System?What is a Distributed Energy System?
A power source close to the end user of electricity (at a home, business or industrial site)
Typically less than 10MW in size
October 18, 2003 Distributed Generation Course4 of 42
San Francisco Power Engineering Society
HistoryHistory
Early power plants were distributed since the transmission and distribution system were not well developed and many users had to provide the power themselves.
Before WWII, many industries had on-site generation
After WWII, utilities developed large power stations to take advantage of the economics of scale and the improved efficiency of larger power plants
October 18, 2003 Distributed Generation Course5 of 42
San Francisco Power Engineering Society
Why is Distributed Energy Attractive Why is Distributed Energy Attractive Today?Today?
ReliabilityThe end user can have a higher reliability source of power.
Can Reduce Electrical Grid ExpendituresLocal energy production can reduce the load on the transmission and distribution grid if done properly and properlycoordinated with the utility.
EfficiencyDistributed energy systems that utilize cogeneration can have a higher efficiency than central power plants that only produce electricity.
Low EmissionsFossil fuel powered, distributed energy systems are now available with very low emissions and alternative energy systems may have zero emissions.

Efficiency100’s of watts to MW sizeDepends on efficiency, insolation, orientation and shading
Insolation varies throughout the day. Peak is about 1000 watts/square meter. Daily average is about 250 watts/ square meter.A fixed panel is cheaper than a tracking system but power output is reduced.A typical system will produce about 100 peak watts/square meter and about 200kwh/year per square meter.
Special RequirementsRequires an inverter to produce 60Hz AC power of sufficient voltage.

Brief Introduction
• Fuel Cell was invented by William R. Grove in 1839. It was called “Gaseous Voltaic Battery
• Fuel Cell is an electrochemical “device” that continuously converts chemical energy into electric energy (and some heat) for as long as fuel and oxidant are supplied.
Three Major Applications
• Transportation–Automobiles
• Stationary Power Generation–Low CO2 emission–CHP
• Portable Applications–Camping–Yachting

Emissions Requirements• There are no federal genset emissions standards for
stationary gensets• Local state or county regulations exist in air quality non-
attainment areas.– Often federal Mobile Off Highway (MOH) regulations
are adapted for diesel generators in non emergency standby applications >200 hr/yr.
• Many states have no specific genset emissions regulations– General site emissions permitting requirements apply– Typical solutions to issues are increasing exhaust
stack to increase dispersion

Some Emissions Basics
• NOx (NO & NO2) is a function of combustion when N2 and O2 react under high temperatures– Reacts with hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight to form ozone, a
component of photochemical smog• CO is a function of combustion completeness
– Excess air, and stratified charge helps• CO2 is a function of engine thermal efficiency• Particulate matter is a function of fuel type and delivery system
(mainly a diesel engine issue with incomplete combustion of carbon)• Low emissions can be attained by
– Fuel selection– Engine technology– Exhaust aftertreatment

Hythane• Potential to introduce H2 using existing distribution and minorengine modifications
• 20% H2 and 80% NG can provide a 50% reduction in NOx emissions at equivalent efficiencies
Hydrogen
• Easily used in turbines and fuel cells
• Advance reciprocating engines can provide low emissions and good fuel economy
• Fuel cells provide an incremental improvement in fuel efficiency and emissions over turbines and reciprocating engines
•A challenge is to produce and distribute hydrogen at a commercially viable cost

Calculating the maximum possible shift;
Using the law of sines,
sin 120° = sin X°
1.15 .1
solving for X;
X = 4.3°
Then; c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab Cos(A)= 1.12 +0.12 -2(0.1)(1.1) Cos(120°)
Then; c = √ 1.33 = 1.153
That is; 10% regulators are capable of 15% regulation in a closed delta configuration. To limit the regulation to a maximum of 10%, then each regulator must be blocked at 87%.

Open Delta Regulation:
• Usually installed on 3 wire systems
•Generates the same % neutral shift (of the line to neutral value) as the regulator contacts move away from their neutral points. This neutral shift translates into E0 voltage, which means each stage of open delta regulation can produce a maximum of 10% E0.

~ 10%
As it can be seen from the above sequence network, E0 seen by the relay can be effected by the E0 generated by open delta regulators.

The UpshotThe Upshot
Developers and Utilities frequently disagree about . . .– What Rule 21 is trying to accomplish,
– What Rule 21 means, and even
– What Rule 21 says.
Should Not Be Cause for Despair!
Example:Example:How “nonHow “non--exporting”?exporting”?
Rule 21 includes “screens” for Simplified InterconnectionScreen 2: “Will power be exported across the PCC?”If “No,” four options, three implicitly addressing some export.
Bottom LineBottom Line
Only the CPUC sets Rules for utility serviceRule 21 is the only applicable interconnection ruleRule 2, etc., apply just as they apply to all other electric service installations“Interpretations” of Rule 21 must be fair, reasonable, and consistent
