The revision of the U.S. interconnection Standard IEEE 1547 in 2018 (IEEE 1547-2018) has added new interconnection and interoperability requirements for grid-connected distributed wind generators (DWG / wind turbines) and all other distributed energy resources (DERs). These new requirements will enable distributed wind generators to provide greater benefits to electric grid operators and DER operators, but also presents new challenges for the testing and certification of DWG systems. This report provides a summary of recent interconnection standard revisions from a DWG perspective, outlines the potential benefits to the power system from the revisions, evaluates the main concerns from a DWG manufacturer’s perspective, and provides general industry guidance related to IEEE 1547-2018 adoption.
