Operation & Maintenance...

This guideline is primarily intended to provide an overview of the application process involved in becoming a distributed generator. If a prospective power plant owner plans to generate electric energy and the power plant capacity rating is less than one MW, the applicant may proceed without filing an application with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) if the following three requirements are met: ? No person is directly and adversely affected. ? The power plant complies with AUC Rule 012: Noise Control (AUC Rule 012). ? There is no effect on the environment.

The scope of this document is to provide guidelines for consistant and standard applications for voltage and power quality requirements on or connected to HOL’s distribution system. Normally voltage limits, voltage distortion, and current distortion are measured at the customer’s Point of Supply as per HOL document ECS0012. This document does not cover the following power quality issues: • Voltage control when the Independent Electrical System Operator (IESO) has declared a voltage reduction or an electrical system emergency; • Non-standard conditions such as a force majeure (e.g.

1.1 Scope This standard establishes nominal voltage ratings and operating tolerances for 60-hertz electric power systems above 100 volts. It also makes recommendations to other standardizing groups with respect to voltage ratings for equipment used on power systems and for utilization devices connected to such systems. This standard includes preferred voltage ratings up to and including 1200 kV maximum system voltage, as defined in the standard.
