The Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA) is leading the transformation to a clean energy economy, creating the framework for solar to achieve 30% of U.S. electricity generation by 2030. SEIA recognizes the importance of Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) in residential and utility scale solar installations to achieve its goal. Leveraging RE+ as a trade show with largest gathering of stakeholders in solar energy supply chain and energy professionals in North America, SEIA will host an open forum to discuss current emerging trends in reliability and security of Inverters as a key component in solar energy deployment, and their growing importance of their reliable performance in operation of the national grid.
This meeting is open to all attendees.
Discussion Topics: Challenges and Opportunities in Inverter Reliability, Security, and Performance SEIA along with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO)’s Essential Operations from Solar (EOS) project team members and industry leaders will summarize the challenges and opportunities in implementing the latest standards for DER and BPS-connected IBR systems including solar, wind, and battery energy storage. - Discussion areas include system performance under normal and abnormal conditions as well as adaptive reconfigurations like microgrids (intentional islands). - During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to provide input via online poll on critical priorities and gaps. - The topics will cover the latest and upcoming revisions of standards at the distribution level, transmission level, and future needs throughout the power system.
