DER INTERCONNECTION & GRID IMPACT STUDIES

CONFIDENTLY INTEGRATING DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES WHILE SAFEGUARDING GRID RELIABILITY

Enable utilities to integrate photovoltaic, battery storage, and other inverter- or rotating-machine-based distributed energy resources safely and efficiently, while maintaining system reliability and meeting regulatory

Advanced Engineering Studies to Enable Confident DER Integration

Our studies provide the technical insight utilities need to make consistent interconnection decisions and support DER growth with confidence. Through a comprehensive suite of analytical evaluations, we assess system impacts, identify potential constraints, and define necessary upgrades to maintain grid performance and reliability.

Supporting Safe, Reliable, and Efficient DER Integration

Our integrated suite of engineering services supports utilities throughout the interconnection lifecycle-helping reduce risk, improve study efficiency, and maintain safe, reliable service as DER adoption continues to grow. Typical services include:

  • Prescreening, System impact, and Facilities studies
  • Load flow, voltage regulation, and power quality analysis
  • Fault current and protection coordination evaluation
  • Hosting capacity analysis and identification of required system upgrades
  • Review of DER performance against IEEE 1547 interconnection requirements
  • Verification of inverter compliance with UL 1741 certification standards
  • Post DER construction commissioning assistance
