IEEE Standard 1547

IEEE Standard 1547 is a guideline that helps ensure the safe and reliable connection of distributed energy resources, like solar panels and wind turbines, to the electric power grid. It outlines technical requirements for how these systems should operate, including how they can interact with the grid during normal conditions and emergencies. The standard promotes energy reliability and safety, guiding utilities and energy providers on how to manage various types of distributed energy. This enhances the overall stability and efficiency of the electricity supply while allowing more renewable energy sources to be integrated.
