Understanding how various pieces of distributed power equipment work together and with the electric grid is important for future system developments. Work in this area involves the planning, siting, and design of a range of distributed utility integration test sites. When completed, this project will be used to gain an understanding of the integration and interaction issues of multiple, diverse distributed energy resources in a utility distribution system and to develop various approaches to exploring those issues.
Specific tasks include:
- Determining the requirements for testing for the integration of distributed resources with a utility distribution system
- Determining site requirements to conduct a distributed utility integration test
- Coordinating site, testing, and program requirements with stakeholders
- Developing a detailed plan and site requirements for conducting integration tests on distributed generation.
