Members of the Sandia National Laboratories Energy Storage program participated as co-authors and co-instructors for a tutorial on the IEEE 1547 Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Standard at the 2024 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting, July 21-25, 2024, in Seattle, WA. This tutorial was organized by IEEE Standards Committee 21 which manages the set of IEEE 1547 Standards and related guides (including IEEE 1547.9-2018 guide for applying 1547 to energy storage and the IEEE 1547.4 guide for applying IEEE 1547 to microgrids).
Sandia representatives Mike Ropp and Charlie Vartanian provided class content and instructed on subtopics covering interconnection of energy storage, and interconnection of microgrids. Charlie also co-chaired the overall one-day tutorial along with Jens Boemer of EPRI. The full tutorial presentation is available at the IEEE PES Resource Center (free to PES members, cost to others).
Mike Ropp is also leading an IEEE standards development project to update IEEE’s 1547.4 guide for interconnecting microgrids. More information on this active IEEE project is at https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/1547.4/3532/.
In supporting IEEE, Sandia staff leverage and promote ES R&D learning and resources, including providing content and resources for creation of new IEEE standards for energy storage. The IEEE is also a productive community for technical information-exchange, and socializing broader DOE initiatives including the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Long Duration Storage Shot.
