Islanding 5.0 Test Specifications and Requirements:. DesignTests. Production Tests. Interconnection Installation Evaluation. Commissioning Tests. Periodic Interconnection Tests 12

13 IEEE 1547 IS: A Technical Standard - Functional Requirements For: the interconnection itself and the interconnection test Technology neutral, e.g., does not specify particular equipment nor type A single (whole) document of mandatory, uniform, universal, requirements. Should be sufficient for most installations. Requirements apply at point of common coupling (unless otherwise stated). IEEE 1547 Is NOT: a design handbook an application guide an interconnection agreement prescriptive, e.g., does not address DR self-protection, nor planning, designing, operating, or maintaining the Area EPS. 13

14 IEEE Std (2005) Standard for Conformance Test Procedures specifies the type, production, and commissioning tests that shall be performed to demonstrate that interconnection functions and equipment of a distributed resource (DR) conform to IEEE Std Figure 1.

Study scope and extent described as functions of identifiable characteristics of: - the distributed resource, - the area electric power system, and - the interconnection. Criteria described for determining the necessity of impact mitigation. Guide allows a described methodology for: - When impact studies are appropriate, - What data is required, - How studies are performed, and - How the study results are evaluated. 18

19 P Recommended Practice to Extend Use of 1547 Need for P is to address industry driven recommendations and NIST smart grid standards framework recommendations (e.g., NIST priority action plans).
