Simulating Distributed Energy Resource Responses to Transmission System-Level Faults Considering IEEE 1547 Performance Categories on Three Major WECC Transmission Paths | June 2020   The quantity of distributed energy resources (DERs) has increased substantially during the past two decades, and…

The WIEB Board approved a proposal from the state of New Mexico, requesting that WIEB review existing wind turbine decommissioning procedures, practices, and requirements within western states and provinces, identify best practices, from a regional perspective, and provide recommendations to…

In recent years, the rapid adoption of customer-sited solar photovoltaic (PV) and other distributed energy resources (DERs) has led to a variety of innovations and new approaches in assessing costs, grid conditions, and requirements for interconnecting DERs to the grid.…

In recent years, growth in the number of requests to interconnect solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to the utility grid has raised new issues and challenges for PV installers, utilities, and ultimately the PV customers who absorb the costs of interconnection…
