Description:

The road to seamless distributed energy resources (DERs) integration will follow different courses, but the state of disruption is a stop ahead for all utilities. DERs challenge traditional approaches to reliability; bypass established standards and regulation; steer the industry toward new, intelligent grid-edge control paradigms; and put new business models on the map.

This four-person panel will discuss evolving standards and requirements associated with the integration of DERs. The discussion will emphasize critical regulatory issues, business changes ahead and the integration activities in progress at several investor-owned energy companies in North America.
