Distribution System Planning for Pervasive DER
Presented by: Erich Gunther - Chairman and CTO, EnerNex
Thursday, February 25, 2016 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET
Numerous drivers are causing the amount of distributed generation being deployed on distribution systems to increase dramatically in many parts of the world.
This webinar will present a range of issues that must be considered on the distribution system when high penetrations of distributed energy resources (DER) are already present or expected. Methodologies for prioritizing which substations and feeders are candidates for new investment to support high penetration DER are presented.
Some existing technologies for volt/var management such as mechanically switched capacitors and load tap changers are challenged in a highly variable generation environment – alternatives will be discussed.
References to key documents and guidelines on supporting this challenge from DOE, EPRI, the SGIP and others will be provided.
