Islanding and Networks in IEEE Std 1547-2018
This course covers Clauses 8 and 9 of IEEE Std 1547-2018. The subjects of Clause 8 are unintentional and intentional islanding, and the subject of Clause 9 is the requirements to be met for installing distributed energy resources onto secondary and spot distribution networks.
What you will learn:
- Identify the appropriate clearing times for unintentional islanding
- Distinguish between intentional islands and aspects thereof that do and do not fall within the scope of 1547-2018
- Distinguish between secondary grid and spot networks
- Explain the requirements for DER interconnection to secondary networks
This course is part of the following course program:
Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources
