[LDES-technology] Today's Journal club meeting - IEEE 1547 DER interconnection standard

[Russell Jones]

In this morning's journal club meeting I mentioned the IEEE standard for interconnection and interoperability of distributed energy resources (DER — which includes PV, wind, batteries, and any other type of flexible generation within the distribution system). It was thoroughly revised in 2018 to make provisions to address many of the issues discussed in today's paper. It doesn't solve those issues directly, but it has provisions for the equipment to support evolving solutions through communication protocols and autonomous behavior. The following is an abstract:



Abstract: The technical specifications for, and testing of, the interconnection between utility electric power systems (EPS) and distributed energy resources (DER) are the focus of this standard. It provides requirements relevant to the performance, operation, testing, safety considerations, and maintenance of the interconnection. It also includes general requirements, response to abnormal conditions, power quality, islanding, and test specifications and requirements for design, production, installation evaluation, commissioning, and periodic tests. The stated requirements are universally needed for interconnection of DER, including synchronous machines, induction machines, or power inverters/converters and will be sufficient for most installations. The criteria and requirements are applicable to all DER technologies interconnected to EPS at typical primary and/or secondary distribution voltages. Installation of DER on radial primary and secondary distribution systems is the main emphasis of this document, although installation of DER on primary and secondary network distribution systems is considered. This standard is written considering that the DER is a 60 Hz source.



I've attached the standard which is actually pretty interesting reading for a specification; or if you are les inclined, there's also an overview presentation. The standard has a bunch of subsidiary standards as well.
