Study Notes
Chapter 5: Distribution Planning
- Purpose: Specify responsibilities of distribution utilities and users in developing the distribution system, ensure system safety and reliability, detail data requirements for new/modified connections to the system, and specify data for distribution system development.
Distribution Planning Responsibilities and Procedures
-
Distribution Utility Responsibilities: Responsible for distribution planning, including analyzing the impact of new facilities (e.g., embedded generating plants, loads, lines, substations), planning system expansion to meet forecasted demand and new connections, and identifying/correcting problems in power quality, system loss, and reliability.
-
User Responsibilities: Cooperate with the utility in maintaining distribution planning data, providing required standard/detailed planning data as requested by the utility, and submitting annual historical and forecast planning data for the next five years by a set date. This data should include updated standard and detailed planning data.
-
Data Submission: Users must submit planning data as required by the utility. This includes the relevant standard and detailed planning data, both annually and as required, as defined in specific articles.
-
Evaluation of Proposed Development: Distribution utility conducts distribution impact studies to evaluate an impact on the system and other users. Utility notifies user of impact of any planned development in the distribution system that may affect the user's system.
Chapter 6: Distribution Operations
-
Purpose: Define operational responsibilities of distribution utilities and users, indicate arrangements for mutual assistance and equipment/inventory sharing, specify requirements for communication and notice issuance, describe demand control strategies (frequency and voltage), detail procedures during emergencies, specify testing of power quality, detail system tests which may cause unusual conditions, specify tests confirming Embedded Generating Unit compliance with registered parameters, and requirements for site and equipment identifier at connection points.
-
Operational Responsibilities: Distribution utility is responsible for operating, maintaining the power quality of the distribution system, providing distribution maintenance programs, maintaining and providing distribution equipment and facilities.

-
Testing and Monitoring: Distribute utility tests and/or monitors power quality in the system, test occurs at the user's request, and measures effect of a user on the system.
Chapter 7: Distribution Revenue Metering Requirements
-
Purpose: Establish rules for metering active and reactive energy and demand for distribution systems, ensure accurate procedures for metering data.
-
Requirements/Equipment: Specify requirements for revenue metering equipment (revenue meters, instrument transformers, connecting cables, etc.), the location (connection points, usually), and any procedure to handle energy loss if the connection point meter isn't feasible.
-
Metering Responsibilities: Distribution Utility or the Meter Service Provider (MSP) is responsible for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the metering system, ensuring its integrity and accuracy.
-
Types of Metering: Define requirements for active and reactive energy and demand metering.
-
Instrument Transformers: Specify required equipment standards; voltage and current transformers are covered under specific standards.
-
Requirements for Distribution Revenue Meters: Provide type and standards for metering; different types of meters are required for low and medium/high voltage customers.
-
Meter Reading and Metering Data: Define the types of metering data, its storage, who has access, and how it is delivered.
Chapter 8: Philippine Distribution Code—Transition Provisions
