Distributed energy resource (DER) responses are fast becoming critical to bulk power system (BPS) reliability. As a result, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ DER interconnection and interoperability standard outlined in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1547-2018 revision has drawn significant attention in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ industry.

In this paper, ICF experts explore Å·²©ÓéÀÖ complexity of navigating Å·²©ÓéÀÖ DER requirement to support bulk system reliability under IEEE 1547-2018. In Å·²©ÓéÀÖ process, Å·²©ÓéÀÖy reveal:

  • Why utilities should engage with IEEE 1547-2018 implementation.
  • How to balance Å·²©ÓéÀÖ tension between distribution and BPS needs.
  • The key decision points for implementing IEEE 1547-2018.

Download Å·²©ÓéÀÖ paper to learn how IEEE 1547-2018 might impact your distribution operators—and why Å·²©ÓéÀÖ time to act is now.
