Can IEEE 2800 standards improve interconnection requirements for PV installations?

The IEEE 2800 standards have the potential to be as impactful as IEEE 1547-2003—the foundational standard in interconnection of distributed energy resources. The goal of this project is to develop streamlined and accurate methods for New York utilities to determine interconnection requirements for PV installations.

Are advanced inverter capabilities necessary for Der interconnection?

In order to comply with the current IEEE Standard for DER interconnection (1547-2018), advanced inverter capabilities are necessary to ride through minor grid disturbances ("normal conditions"). The report describes different modes of voltage regulation and the curtailment caused by these settings.

Does IEEE 2800 apply to inverter-based resources?

and not to an isolated inverter-based resource (IBR) on its own. IEEE 2800 applies to all IBRs (including grid-forming ones), but was designed with conventional grid-following IBRs. Fig. 2 illustrates the specific requirements that are within and outside of

What is a New York grid integration project?

The project requires collaboration with the New York Department of Public Service, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, New York Power Authority, and New York investor-owned utilities and provides technical expertise, research, and testing methods to address grid-integration issues in New York State.

Is cost allocation fair and equitable for grid upgrades?

An important and longstanding issue with utilities and regulators has been about fair and equitable cost allocation for grid upgrades. Several alternatives with varying risk factors are being explored since the conventional cost-causer approach may not be equitable but clear best practices have not yet emerged.
