Webinar Details
Through engaging case studies and practical examples, attendees will gain the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of DER integration, from initial assessments to final connection approval.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Load flow analysis
- Short-circuit studies
- Fault detection, with an emphasis on identifying and mitigating any adverse effects on the existing infrastructure
Who Should Attend?
- Utility Engineers – Individuals working with utility companies who are responsible for assessing and managing the integration of DER into the grid.
- Grid Operators – Those overseeing distribution system operations and ensuring that new DER connections do not negatively impact grid stability or performance.
- Project Managers – Professionals handling DER projects, who need to understand the impact assessment process for successful project planning and execution.
- Consultants – Engineers and consultants who assist utilities or developers with feasibility studies, impact assessments, and regulatory compliance for DER connections.
- Energy Developers – Developers of DER projects (e.g., solar, wind, storage) who need to understand the technical requirements and potential challenges for connecting their systems to the distribution network.
- Researchers and Academics – Those studying the integration of DERs into distribution networks who wish to gain practical insights into the connection impact assessment process.
