This site features educational materials on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standard 1547™-2018 (IEEE Std 1547-2018) for interconnection and interoperability of distributed energy resources. The educational materials are for utilities, states, solar developers, transmission operators, regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
Educational Materials
NREL has compiled a list of publicly available educational resources to aid stakeholders in the successful adoption and implementation of the standard. The resources include introductory presentations and whitepapers written by industry practitioners as well more topic-specific NREL technical reports focusing on requirements in the standard.
Knowledge Gaps Analysis
In March 2019, NREL issued a request for information to identify knowledge gaps on implementing IEEE Std 1547-2018. Responses to the request for information are being used to help identify key priority areas, which will inform the development of new educational material. We encourage you to support this effort by providing your input to this analysis. If you notice any gaps we haven't identified, please provide your own feedback.
