The growth of distributed energy resources (DERs), mostly generation using intermittent renewable energy sources, along with the retirement of central generation (mostly conventional power plants using fossil-fuel-based resources) has implications for the steady-state and dynamic performance of the bulk electric system (BES). Among the DERs connected to the distribution system, photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most prevalent and have been installed at an increasing rate. Until recently, the penetration levels of DERs have not been high enough to create significant impacts on the reliability and security of power system operation. However, in recent years, the penetration levels of DERs have risen to a level that their impacts on the bulk electric system should be considered in a detailed fashion in planning and operations.
