Interconnection testing of distributed resources

With the publication of IEEE 1547-2003 standard for interconnecting distributed resources with electric power systems, the electric power industry has a need to develop tests and procedures for verifying that interconnection equipment meets the technical requirements. A new standard IEEE P1547.1 is being written that will give detailed tests and procedures for confirming that equipment meets the interconnection requirements. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has been validating new test procedures that are being developed as part of IEEE P1547.1. As work progresses on the validation of the procedures, information and test reports are passed on to the working group of IEEE P1547.1 for changes to future revisions
