IEEE 1547-2018, IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces, is the standard for interconnecting all technologies of DER (Distributed Energy Resources), including solar PV and battery storage to distribution systems. The standard is critical to the industry, since it contains requirements Read more…
The development and publishing of interconnection standards and guides to facilitate the large numbers of grid-connected DER (Distributed Energy Resources) to utility systems in the coming years continues, with a new guide focused on energy storage. On August 5 of 2022, IEEE published IEEE 1547.9-2022, “IEEE Guide for Using IEEE Read more…
For anyone that missed it, on April 22, 2022 (Earth Day) IEEE published a new standard that is important for those dealing with Electric Transmission systems: “IEEE 2800 – 2022: IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) Interconnecting with Associated Transmission Electric Power Systems”. IBR’s include Solar Read more…

Various states in the US have either adopted, or are in the process of adopting, IEEE 1547-2018, which leverages new capabilities of smart inverters. Smart inverters are a kind of “grid-following” inverters. Now there is growing interest in “grid-forming” inverters, which are not new but are relatively early in the Read more…
