Updating Distributed Energy Resource Interconnection Rules A Guide for Local Authorities
This guide, produced by NREL in collaboration with IREC, provides local authorities and regulators with a roadmap for updating distributed energy resource interconnection standards to align with IEEE Std 1547-2018. It explains the technical changes introduced in the revised standard, such as voltage and frequency ride-through, interoperability, and grid support functions, and offers recommendations for incorporating these requirements into interconnection rules and tariffs. The document also discusses stakeholder engagement, implementation timelines, and considerations for legacy systems. It assists local authorities in ensuring safe and reliable integration of DERs.
