DER Communication and Data Integration |
Project Set 161D
As the penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) on a section of the grid increases, the impacts on grid operations—both positive and negative—may increase. Careful planning and operations are needed to ensure that the growth of DER does not impact grid safety, reliability, and stability.
Research conducted by utilities, DER solution providers, and power system researchers over the past decade focuses on what is required to realize the full value of DER. DER must become more visible and controllable.
At the heart of these capabilities are information and communication technologies to address DER communication and data integration.
