DER Interconnection Solutions for a Reliable and Secure Grid

This webinar will discuss how to maintain a reliable and secure grid with distributed energy resources (DERs) connecting to local utility grids. Speakers will discuss the performance of inverter-based DERs, interconnection models and tools, and approaches to adopting technical standards such as IEEE 1547-2018 to address emerging technologies and issues.
