IEEE 1547 Overview 

23 SEPTEMBER 2025

10:30AM-11:30AM EST 

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) such as wind, solar, battery storage, and electric vehicles (EVs) have become a top priority for managing the grid. The benefits these technologies provide to communities around the world also present novel challenges in their integration with distribution networks. IEEE 1547™-2018 defines the requirements of these DER interconnections.

The IEEE Conformity Assessment Program’s (ICAP) DER-related activities provide unique opportunities for the successful implementation of IEEE 1547-2018. By collaborating with stakeholders, subject matter experts, and regulators, ICAP can address industry gaps and help ensure a more reliable and resilient grid. 

As more countries continue to adopt IEEE 1547-2018 and its dynamic features for grid support, the industry will require more professionals proficient in the standard and assessing commissioning conformance of DER interconnections. ICAP, along with utility support and a diverse representation of stakeholder members, have developed an educational and credentialing program that will meet this industry’s needs. IEEE certification will indicate to utilities, DER developers, and owners the experience level necessary to commission an IEEE 1547 compliant DER Interconnection. This program will also deliver to the industry a standardized approach to IEEE 1547 DER Interconnection commissioning that can be adopted anywhere.

Agenda:

1) IEEE and ICAP Introduction/Overview - Patrick Murray

2) ICAP 1547 Credentialing Program - Wayne Stec 

3) A Utilities Perspective - Keaton Wheeler
