This course is approved for 10 NABCEP CEUs
Summary:
The time has arrived to become knowledgeable about IEEE 1547-2018.
In 2023, it is expected that many families/models of smart inverters will be certified by testing laboratories in accordance with UL 1741 SB, the test procedures for IEEE 1547-2018, and will become commercially available. In addition, more states or other authorities which govern interconnection requirements will have either completed the integration of IEEE 1547-2018 into their interconnection rules and agreements or made additional progress in that area.
In this four-module course you get detailed discussion and reference material on IEEE 1547-2018. We cover the background and need for the different requirements, present default and allowable ranges of inverter settings and discuss how utilities have been integrating the requirements into their interconnection procedures and specifications.
Intended Audience: Those working in the solar PV and electric utility industry, including:
- DER developers, operators, and aggregators
- DER system engineers, consultants, and EPC’s
- Utility distribution management, engineers and subject matter experts involved in DER interconnections
- DER equipment vendors
- Bulk power system operators and regional reliability coordinators with interest in distribution DERs and their impacts on bulk power systems
PRICE: $795
