Tutorial Overview:

Topics will include positive implications for all distributed generation systems, particularly solar PV, energy storage and microgrids.

This online tutorial will cover the following topics in each session: 

Session 1: A summary of IEEE P1547 History - presented by Mark Siira and David Narang
  • Need and benefits
  • Summary of changes
  • Timeline moving forward

Session 2: In-Depth Overview of IEEE P1547 Revision Requirements, Part 1 - presented by Jens Boemer and David Narang
  • Recap of previous session
  • Review of Reference point of applicability, newly-introduced performance categories and their assignment to specific DER by an Authority Governing Interconnection Requirements (AGIR)
  • New requirements for voltage and reactive power control, frequency control, response to abnormal conditions including ride-through; ranges of adjustability for control settings as well as for voltage and frequency trip settings

Session 3: In-Depth Overview of IEEE P1547 Revision Requirements, Part 2 - presented by Babak Enayati and Wayne Stec
  • Recap of previous session
  • Basic criteria for the use of IEEE P1547 as well as important requirements first introduced or considerably modified
  • Applicability requirements and review of measurement accuracy requirements
  • A new cease to energize performance requirement and entering service criteria that are critical to meeting the new ride-through requirements
  • New power quality requirements, as well as islanding concepts
  • Voltage regulation
  • New section that discusses interoperability requirements

Session 4: Overview of the important concepts and requirements needed for verification and testing of DER interconnected to the grid - presented by Mark Siira and Wayne Stec
  • Recap of previous session
  • Determination of the reference point of applicability, full compliance and partial compliance

Tutorial Overview:

Demand response is one of the 3 legs of the distributed energy resources (DER) stool, that the industry will rest upon by 2040. It is at this point the most neglected of the three legs. Demand response will not just be turning things off, it will be turning things on as well to absorb excess renewable energy in a useful fashion. Many people want a single silver bullet to handle all demand response issues, but Florida Power and Light (FPL) has proven over the last 30 years that a portfolio of programs is required. 

This online tutorial will cover the following topics in each session: 

Session 1 

  • What is Demand Response? 
  • History of Demand Response 
  • What do customers like and dislike? 
  • Different types of Demand Response programs 
Session 2
  • Review of session 1 
  • Defining requirements process 
  • Defining regulatory changes 
  • Security and privacy issues 

Session 3 

  • Review of session 2 
  • Building a business case for Demand Response 
  • Benefits of Demand Response 
  • Costs for doing Demand Response 

Session 4 

  • Review of session 3 
  • Standards for Demand Response 
  • Case studies for Demand Response – innovative and unique programs 
  • Q&A responses from questions in session 1 to 3 
  • Summary
