Grid-interconnection requirements for small cogeneration systems - Appendix. Final report, September 1985-December 1987
This report describes the results of an investigation into the performance and cost of interconnection equipment and devices required when a small (40-800 kW gas-engine-driven generator sets) cogeneration installation exports power to the electric utility. Computer modeling and analysis was conducted and served as the basis for analyzing normal and abnormal system operating conditions, developing performance-based interconnection requirements, and evaluating alternative approaches to interconnection. Boundary constraints are established for interconnected cogeneration capacity as a function of cogenerator type (synchronous or induction), utility-circuit capacity, and cogenerator installation location on the utility circuit that result in negligible impact to the utility system during any operating condition.
