Webinar: DER Management & Implementation Use-Cases – We Can Control DERs, Now What?
September 30, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Cody Davis
Featured Speaker: Cody Davis, Senior Principal Engineer, Distribution & Grid Modernization, Electric Power Engineers
Webinar Abstract: Recent changes to inverter interoperability capabilities for IEEE 1547-2018 and UL 1741 SB compliance have further reduced barriers to utilities communicating with and controlling DER. Utilizing such features to gather actual data on DER system performance and modify DER real and reactive power performance in response to changing grid conditions can provide significant value to both utilities and DER owners. Understanding how these capabilities can be utilized to improve distribution planning and operational outcomes is critical to developing a strategy for DER Management and developing a business case for DER Management System (DERMS) deployment. This presentation will identify the value drivers and utility process improvements that can be achieved using the DER communications and control capabilities to support the distribution system.
About the Speaker: Cody Davis is a power systems engineer with 10 years of experience with a focus on distribution system planning and the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on the distribution system. He also has experience working with a wide variety of utility and public stakeholders on a range of emerging, complex technical, operational, and regulatory issues and has authored reports or testimony publicly filed in several states including Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and Maine.
