What utilities need to know about smart inverters for DER
Smart inverters have generated industry buzz related to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ grid and customer benefits. While this next generation of inverters offers great promise, utilities have important decisions to make for beneficial integration of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ technology.
Join our experts for a live webinar about IEEE Standard 1547-2018, which requires distributed energy resources (DER) to provide specific grid supportive functionalities. These capabilities can help improve power quality for all customers and ensure that DERs can continue to be a reliable grid resource as penetration increases and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ grid transforms. Although all DERs will be required to have Å·²©ÓéÀÖse functionalities enabled, inverter-based DERs can utilize smart inverters to comply with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ new standards.
Topics will include:
- How DER should respond to larger system disturbances.
- What role DER can play in supporting distribution system voltage management.
- When and why establishing communications to DER might be needed.
