Speaker: Babak Enayati, Lead Engineer, National Grid and Vice Chair of the IEEE 1547

Refreshments start at 6:00PM, talk commences at 6:30PM

This technical meeting will introduce the IEEE 1547 “Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Energy Resources with Electric Power Systems”. Due to the increasing amount of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) interconnections with the Electric Power System, the IEEE 1547 standard is going through a major revision to address some of the technical issues associated with high penetration of DERs. The participants will learn about the status of the standard revision and the recent proposed draft changes to the standard i.e. voltage regulation, response to abnormal system conditions (including voltage and frequency ride through), power quality, etc. The participants will also learn about the utility concerns/solutions to adopt the revised IEEE 1547 standard.
