Distributed Energy Resources and the Distribution System
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) have become an integral part of the energy system as consumers, developers, and utilities incorporate smaller power sources such as renewable energy, energy storage systems, and even microgrids into the electric distribution system. While DER has become an essential part of the typical energy portfolio, DER interconnection can negatively impact thermal loading, voltage regulation, and protection, particularly when it causes reverse power flow during off-peak hours. Other potential concerns include voltage flicker, risk of islanding, and load rejection overvoltage due to the intermittent nature and lack of control of renewable resources. Course instructors will walk through the DER impact and microgrid study process including technical elements such as system study tools and standards and Battery Energy Storage System technologies, as well as the strategic value and business case.
Course Features:
• Up-to-date information• Real-time survey questions and participant Q&A • Practical examples of DERs • Actionable recommendations to make improvements
