Contact UsCoordinated, consistent, interconnection standards, communication standards, and implementation guidelines are required for energy storage devices (ES), power electronics connected distributed energy resources (DER), hybrid generation-storage systems (ES-DER), and plug-in electric vehicles (PEV).
Accordingly, IEEE SA offers the IEEE Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Standards Collection, featuring core IEEE standards that will be pivotal to the energy transformation using DERs. The goal is to help users advance their use of DERs both for their own benefit and also for society as a whole.
The prosperity of microgrids and distributed energy resources (DER) promotes the standardization of multiple technologies. A sound and applicable standard system will facilitate the development of renewable energy and provide great guiding significance for technology globalization.
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards …” [1, p. 30].
For example, to date there exist no guidance or standards to address grid-specific aspects of aggregating large or small mobile storage, such as Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). ES-DER is treated as a distributed energy resource in some standards, but there may be distinctions between electric storage and connected generation.
For instance, in the first microgrid standard IEEE 1547.4, the electrical energy storage (EES) is solely regarded as a type of DER to be regulated without specific technical requirements. However, energy storage devices have gradually become a critical part of microgrid in terms of planning and operation stages [42, 43].
