Interconnection of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Grid Modernization

As Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) continue to grow, engineers face new challenges integrating them into a grid not originally designed for decentralized energy. This course provides a comprehensive look at DER interconnection, protection strategies, and the evolving standards like IEEE 1547. Participants will also explore grid modernization technologies, battery storage, and real-world microgrid case studies to understand the full scope of transformation in today’s power systems.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand the technical and regulatory requirements for interconnecting DERs, including IEEE 1547 standards.
  • Analyze protection challenges and solutions associated with inverter-based resources and microgrids.
  • Evaluate grid modernization technologies and strategies, including battery storage and non-wires alternatives.

Who Should Attend:

  • Electric utility engineers involved in planning, protection, and operations.
  • Project managers and consultants working on DER integration or grid modernization.
  • Substation and distribution engineers seeking to enhance system reliability and resilience.
