Interoperability, Information Exchange and Networks, and Protocols in IEEE Std 1547-2018

  • Online

In this course the requirements for interoperability and open access at the DER are reviewed. Learners will examine the IEEE Std 1547 local communication interface followed by application protocols, and review functional capabilities and interoperability aspects not addressed by IEEE 1547.

What you will learn:

  • State requirements for interoperability at the local interface to the DER
  • Explain IEEE 1547 local communication interface
  • Describe application protocols
  • Recall functional capabilities

This course is part of the following course program:

Introduction to IEEE Std 1547-2018: Connecting Distributed Energy Resources

Course titles included in this program

Who should attend: Electrical engineer, Engineering technicians
