Assessment

Interconnection studies

The following analyses and procedures should be performed for all new or modified interconnection facilities (generation, transmission, and end-user) to the ATC system to properly assess their reliability impact on the interconnected systems. For some analyses, a formal study report may be appropriate. For other analyses, a simple statement of assumptions and rationale may be sufficient.

Types of Analysis

The analyses are to include steady state, short-circuit, and dynamic assessments that include the requirements in TPL-001-1, TPL-002-1, TPL-003-1, and TPL-004-1.

Compliance with Applicable Planning Criteria

The analyses and procedures are to comply with all applicable NERC, Regional Entity, and individual system planning criteria of the affected parties.

Coordination with Affected Entities

The results of the analyses will be jointly evaluated and coordinated by the affected entities.

Essential Documentation

All analyses should include the evaluation assumptions, system performance, alternatives considered, and any jointly coordinated recommendations.

Specific Study Methodologies

Generator Interconnection studies will follow the study guidelines as described in the MISO Business Practice Manual for Generator Interconnections.
