This webinar will primarily focus on describing the advanced grid supporting functions and applications of Smart Inverters in the context of distributed energy resources (DER) integration into the electric grid. Supported by international and regional standards (IEEE 1547-2018, Rule 21, etc.), the use of smart inverter functions are either mandated or utilities have started exploring the benefits of activating certain functions. However, there are also concerns with potential adverse impacts on the control and protection of the grid. The following concepts, engineering of the functions, and applications will be discussed: – Use of DER for grid support and services (non-wires alternatives) – Smart inverter functions and concepts supported by standards: – Controls and protections – Autonomous or communication based (remote control) functions – Mitigating of the adverse impact of DER on the grid quality and integrity – Key applications, use cases, and examples – Settings and engineering of functions (industry practices) – Testing and evaluation of the functions Registration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/686914800902695438
