2040 Grid: The Interviews - Interconnection Queue with Diana Hernandez

As renewable technology advances, record numbers of new, clean energy resources are requesting to connect to the grid. Our System and Resource Planning group is responsible for evaluating each project for any reliability impacts. And they are busy. More resources are seeking approval today than at any time in our 21-year history. “NYISO plays an important role here, specifically with interconnection studies,” says Diana Hernandez, supervisor of NYISO’s Interconnection Studies Team. It’s her group that oversees approval of the many projects that are now seeking to connect to the bulk power system. The CLCPA requires that 100% of the electricity in New York must come from clean energy sources by 2040. With this mandate in place, and in addition to incentives meant to promote the growth of clean energy and storage technology, the number of new clean energy projects has tripled in the last several years. “That’s why we are looking for ways to improve the process, so these projects can connect sooner,” said Hernandez. Our interconnection study process identifies potential adverse reliability impacts associated with new resources connecting to the grid. During this process, we identify necessary system upgrades and associated estimated costs to allow investors to make more informed investment decisions. Scoping meetings are also conducted with developers to discuss engineering and design details. We’ve taken steps to streamline the interconnection approval process, including: • An online portal to make it easier for developers to apply for interconnection status. • Bifurcating the process, allowing simpler projects to be approved sooner, while projects that require more studies are separated for more advanced analysis. The enhancements have already proven effective in accelerating the pace at which new resources can be approved. “NYISO is always looking for ways to improve the process,” Hernandez noted.
