  1. IEEE Application Guide for IEEE Std 1547-2018, IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces

    The document is designated IEEE Std 1547.2-2023 and is cited as IEEE 1547.2-2023; its copyright line carries the year 2024. Value: IEEE 1547.2-2023.

  2. IEEE Guide for Cybersecurity of Distributed Energy Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems

    The document is designated IEEE Std 1547.3-2023 and is cited as IEEE 1547.3-2023. Value: IEEE 1547.3-2023.

  3. IEEE Guide for Using IEEE Std 1547 for Interconnection of Energy Storage Distributed Energy Resources with Electric Power Systems

    The document is designated IEEE Std 1547.9-2022 and is cited as IEEE 1547.9-2022. Value: IEEE 1547.9-2022.

  4. IEEE Standard Conformance Test Procedures for Equipment Interconnecting Distributed Energy Resources with Electric Power Systems and Associated Interfaces

    Annex A.2 of IEEE 1547.1-2020 defines clearing time as the interval from the start of the abnormal condition until the DER ceases to energize the Area EPS, made up of detection time, any adjustable delay, the interposing device operating and arcing time, and the interrupting device time. The trip time, which starts at the leading zero crossing in the first half cycle where the parameter is beyond its limit, can be either a part of the clearing time or equal to it; every normative requirement is expressed as a clearing time.

  5. IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces

    The licensed copy gives the full title of IEEE 1547a-2020 as IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces - Amendment 1: To Provide More Flexibility for Adoption of Abnormal Operating Performance Category III. Value: IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces - Amendment 1: To Provide More Flexibility for Adoption of Abnormal Operating Performance Category III.

  6. IEEE Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) Interconnecting with Associated Transmission Electric Power Systems

    In the clause 3.1 definitions of IEEE 2800-2022 the continuous, mandatory and permissive operation regions are adapted from IEEE 1547-2018; the behavior that IEEE 1547-2018 calls momentary cessation is termed current blocking here, and a unit in the permissive region may ride through either by staying in mandatory operation or by current blocking.
