Impact of IEEE 1547-2018 to Solar PV Developers and Engineers

The latest revision of IEEE 1547TM-2018 – IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Interfaces turns five years old this year.  Many Solar PV developers and engineers that are just entering the industry aren’t familiar with the standard’s background and the requirements that Read more…

Standards for Connecting DER to Distribution Systems

Interconnection standards for DER (Distributed Energy Resources) connecting to utility transmission and distribution systems have evolved and will continue to change in the coming decades.  DER includes IBR (inverter-based resources), such as solar PV, battery energy storage, and V2G (vehicle-to-grid), but also synchronous machine-based generation and other types of generation.
