Applying IEEE Std 1547-2018: What Public Utilities Commissions Need To Decide and Do
This resource from NREL outlines the key decisions and actions that public utility commissions must undertake to implement IEEE Std 1547 2018, the revised interconnection standard for distributed energy resources. It explains policy choices such as adopting default ride through settings, requiring communications capabilities, and aligning testing and certification procedures. The guidance provides decision flowcharts, recommended timelines, and case studies from early adopter states. It aims to help regulators design interconnection rules that comply with the standard while considering regional grid needs and stakeholder input.
