DG Interconnection References

[DistCoop]

Does anyone have any good references on DG interconnection studies? I'm thinking primarily PV, but any DG really. Most of the books I've seen are on designing solar arrays and inverter integration. I'm at the stage where someone has designed the solar array and selected the inverter... I must decide whether it can be connected to the utility, and what must be done to prepare.

I guess I'm wondering things like transformer selection, estimation of output per time of day/solar insolation (a 1 MW array won't put out 1 MW all day... will it only be between 12-3pm? 1-2pm?), protection... things that the are more of interest on the utility side of the inverter.
