A Smarter Way to Interconnect Distributed Energy Resources
Date held: February 13, 2019 • 11:00 a.m. PSTDistributed generation and the adoption of microgrids are growing at a rapid pace. Utilities and power producers need an easier and more cost-effective way to interconnect these resources with the power system.
This webinar will address a new way to create safe and reliable interties for distributed energy resources (DERs) using the SEL-651R Advanced Recloser Control. During the webinar, you’ll learn about:
- IEEE 1547-2018 intertie tripping requirements.
- Improving safety by enforcing interconnection requirements.
- Reducing power quality impact and equipment damage risk using enhanced synchronization techniques.
- Fast local islanding detection methods.
- Simplicity and low cost of the SEL-651R point of common coupling (PCC) solution.
