IEEE 1547 Insights

What is IEEE 1547?

IEEE 1547 is a standard for interconnecting distributed energy resources (DERs) with electric power systems. It defines requirements and procedures for the interconnection of DERs such as solar photovoltaic, wind, fuel cells, and energy storage systems to ensure safe, reliable, and interoperable grid operation. It addresses issues like voltage regulation, frequency control, power quality, and safety during grid disturbances. The standard is commonly used by utilities, DER manufacturers, and grid operators to establish consistent interconnection practices.
