Harnessing Behind-The-Meter DERs for Flexible Grid Services

The grid services are traditionally provided by centralized power plants to maintain and improve the power flow and quality of electricity on the grid. With the integration of more and more front the meter and behind the meter distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar PV, battery energy storage and EVs, it becomes essential to harness these DERs for grid services without costly infrastructure upgrading. This panel will discuss the most recent progress on harnessing DERs for various grid services, such as voltage and frequency regulation, energy efficiency, emergency control and resiliency. Presentations in this panel session: - Coordinating BTM DERs for Power System Emergency Control (23PESGM3907) - Role of Testbeds in Advancing DER Control and Optimization (23PESGM3910) - DER integration in distribution networks: Australiaís ride to 100% renewable electricity (23PESGM4219)
