Distributed generation interconnection
Distributed generation interconnection
(OP)
This is a very basic question, but when distributed energy generation like solar interconnects to the distribution system, do they have to tie in directly to a substation? If so, how can medium-size generation be built on the distribution lines themselves without having to make large upgrades?

I'm reading some information on a distribution circuit connected to a substation. It has numbers like Circuit Capacity (say, 9 MW) and Circuit Peak Load (say, 7 MW). Then it refers to the substation "bank" which has different numbers for Sub Bank Capacity (34 MW) and Sub Bank Peak Load (33 MW).
How do the circuit numbers relate to the sub numbers when the utility is looking at new distributed generation on that circuit?

The only concern could be the island mode operation of your Dist Gen when the utility feed is lost.

Solar energy does do not have a power quality energy.
Any disturb , interconnection protection remove distributed generation from the system.
Utility does not permit island system to distributed generation.
That`s an interpretation of my country.

I don't agree that solar dist gen only interconnects to the substation. In UK solar farms and smaller scale solar dist gen can be interconnected on the utility owned feeder lines.
