Historic Distributed Generation Interconnections Emergency network support Substation Support WTC Network Emergency Backup for Critical Loads Hospitals, Water and Sewage Treatment, Prisons Typically diesel generators dedicated to critical loads Not parallel or with intricate protections schemes Large customers Familiar with ConEd specifications Interconnection requirement costs proportionally not prohibitive 7
Current DG Interconnections More and smaller customers nterconnecting Increase in self supply and peak shaving in addition to emergency backup Protection tailored to each interconnection Increase in smaller CHP installationss Increased inverter based solar Expanding ConEd and NYISO markets for DSR Demand response & ancillary services (reserves, VAR support, blackstart capability) Physical Assurity required for load forecasting Communications, dispatch, and M&V are Key 8
DG Facilitated through Continued Enhancements Helping our customers understand the playing field DG website DG technical expert and DG ombudswoman Interconnection seminars Interconnection technology advances also facilitate interconnect Current Limiting Protection (CLiP) dc Link Expanding our customer outreach efforts and stakeholder involvement DOE/EPRI projects Partnering with City, CUNY.
