A Discussion of Interconnection Issues from Different Perspectives
Date: Thursday, June 26th, 2003 Time: 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Location: SRP Information Services Building (ISB), 1600 N. Priest Dr, Tempe, AZ
Speakers: Bryan Gernet from APS and Sean Seitz from American Solar Electric
Topic: "A Discussion of Interconnection Issues from Different Perspectives"
This presentation will be a discussion of DG interconnection issues from both the utility and equipment vendor/installer perspectives. At times, these two perspectives may be at odds with one another - however, working together it is possible to install distributed generation on the utility grid in a safe, reliable, and timely manner.
Speaker Bios:
Bryan Gernet has been with APS for 21 years. His first three years at APS were at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. He is currently a Power Quality Engineer. Bryan has been involved in interconnecting generators for the last 17 years. Bryan has been kind enough to speak at APQA meetings in the past on a variety of topics, most recently in April of 2003.
Sean Seitz graduated from Clemson University w/a BSME degree in 1996. He is the president and co-founder of American Solar Electric, an Arizona-based design-build firm specializing in PV power systems. Sean will be discussing his experiences working with Utilities, and NEC and local jurisdiction requirements that must be met to commission a distributed generator.
