Community Solar Solutions to Mitigate Energy Injustice: A Technical and Economic Approach

As Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) continue to grow, engineers face new challenges integrating them into a grid not originally designed for decentralized energy. This seminar provides a comprehensive look at DER interconnection, protection strategies, and the evolving standards like IEEE 1547. Participants will also explore grid modernization technologies, battery storage, and real-world microgrid case studies to understand the full scope of transformation in today’s power systems.
The audience is expected to:
– Understand the technical and regulatory requirements for interconnecting DERs, including IEEE 1547 standards.
– Analyze protection challenges and solutions associated with inverter-based resources and microgrids.
– Evaluate grid modernization technologies and strategies, including battery storage and non-wires alternatives.
