Dynamic monitoring and calculations of DER Hosting Capacity
The ability to quantify how much hosting capacity is available for DER installations within a specified area, at a given point in time, throughout time, and the resultant metrics may be used to support the practicalities of Climate Act goal soluti...
Utility territory data available shows a region near Boonville NY to be within Nat Grid service territory. However the utility has indicated it is not. We are aware of multiple parcels with this issue but unclear on the full extent of the issue re...
The SIR database is an authoritative source of information on distributed generation deployments across NY state. The addition and maintenance of this data set would integrate nicely with the hosting capacity maps and add a time dimension to DER c...
Can you import EJ data from EPA? https://ejscreen.epa.gov/mapper/ Most DAC's in NYS have excess negative SDOH such as exposure to Lead Based Paint. A barrier to making older housing resilient to climate could be extending the lifetime of homes that poison children with Lead in NY. NY annually has more poisoned children than any other state in the USA. Unintended consequences of retrofitting homes for climate change and CLPCA compliance could exacerbate the already worst lead poisoning problem in our country, cursory check of CDC data can confirm NY poisons more children 6 or younger annually than any other state.
Assist planning for HUD Lead Hazard Control or Lead Hazard Reduction grants to remove and stabilize housing components with LBP while also doing braided funding housing intervention work to weatherize older housing for climate resiliency too. If w...
In the queued DERs data table, it is unclear how “Planned Install Date” is calculated/obtained
In the queued DERs data table, it is unclear how “Planned Install Date” is calculated/obtained. No explanation of this is given in documentation and does not correspond to any dates given in PSC SIR data for DER projects
In the column header, should specify units in “DER Nameplate Rating” in table of interconnected and enqueued DER projects.
In the column header, should specify units in “DER Nameplate Rating” in table of interconnected and enqueued DER projects. If new users are supposed to understand this, don't assume they know the units of the DER projects (which appears to be kW)
Substation HC calculated might not always consider transformers that are configured in N-1 scenario (emergency/backup). HC calculated in interconnection studies are can be drastically different. Easy fix to this would be, addiing a note that lists...
