Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources

Learn about IEEE Std 1547-2018.. A not-for-profit organization, IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE Continuing and Professional Education courses are designed to help engineers stay up-to-date on the latest technologies. Produced and vetted by leading experts, you can count on IEEE Continuing Education courses to equip you with the information you need to stay current in your field.

Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources

Designed to provide your organization the information they need to comply with Standard 1547-2018. This new standard has a significant impact on the design and deployment of all DER systems, removes limitations from the original standard, and adds requirements for “smart inverters.” Are your engineers prepared for these changes?

This course is intended for engineers who work with DER systems and related technologies. Course topics include:

  • Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018
  • Power Quality and Voltage Regulation in IEEE Std 1547-2018
  • Response to Area EPS Abnormal Conditions in IEEE Std 1547-2018
  • Islanding and Networks in IEEE Std 1547-2018
  • Interoperability, Info Exchange and Networks, and Protocols in IEEE Std 1547-2018
  • Interconnection: Test and Verification in IEEE Std 1547-2018

Upon successful completion of Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources, your engineers will receive valuable CEUs/PDHs from IEEE that can be used to maintain engineering licenses.

Course Program Details

The Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources online training program includes the following courses:

Interconnection Test and Verification in IEEE Std 1547-2018
This course begins by reviewing the interconnection testing and verification requirements included in the IEEE 1547 standard. Topics covered include the reference point of applicability, which is a critical decision that needs to be made before verification, as well as the types of conformance that have been done, and those two will determine the verification process. Learners will also go through the process itself, and define each of the test methods that are discussed. And finally learners will see a brief summary of IEEE 1547.1, which is currently being developed as a separate working group.

Interoperability, Information Exchange and Networks, and Protocols in IEEE Std 1547-2018
In this course the requirements for interoperability and open access at the DER are reviewed. Learners will examine the IEEE Std 1547 local communication interface followed by application protocols, and review functional capabilities and interoperability aspects not addressed by IEEE 1547.

Islanding and Networks in IEEE Std 1547-2018
This course covers Clauses 8 and 9 of IEEE Std 1547-2018. The subjects of Clause 8 are unintentional and intentional islanding, and the subject of Clause 9 is the requirements to be met for installing distributed energy resources onto secondary and spot distribution networks.

Response to Area EPS Abnormal Conditions in IEEE Std 1547-2018
This course focuses on the clauses and annexes of IEEE Std 1547-2018, namely Clause 6, that is the response to Area EPS abnormal conditions, and also on the Annex B and Annex E regarding the abnormal performance categories and the consecutive orders.

Power Quality and Voltage Regulation in IEEE Std 1547-2018
This course reviews the system power quality and the limitations from the distributed energy resource's perspective to meet the power quality requirements at the interconnection point. It also focuses on the voltage regulation capability of the distributed energy resources.
