The control system of the generating facility shall comply with all IEEE specifications and standards, including, but not limited to, the following.
(A) Power output control system shall automatically disconnect from town’s electric utility service source upon loss of service voltage and not reconnect until service voltage has been restored by the town.
(B) Power output control system shall ride through voltage fluctuations, but shall automatically disconnect from the town’s electric utility service source if the customer-owned generation voltage fluctuates beyond plus or minus 10%. The customer shall provide adequate protection to prevent damage to the town’s electrical system from inadvertent over/under voltage conditions originating in customer’s generating facility and to protect the customer’s generating facility from inadvertent over/under voltage conditions originating from the town’s electrical system.
(C) Power output control system shall ride through frequency fluctuations, but shall automatically disconnect from town’s electric utility service if frequency fluctuates beyond plus or minus two cycles per second from 60 cycles per second (Hertz).
(D) Inverter output distortion shall meet IEEE requirements.
(E) The generating facility shall meet the applicable IEEE standards concerning impacts to the distribution system with regard to harmonic distortion, voltage flicker, power factor, direct current injection and electromagnetic interference.
(F) The voltage produced by the customer’s generating facility must be balanced if it is a three-phase installation. The customer is responsible for protecting the generating facility from an inadvertent phase unbalance in the town’s electric utility service voltage.
