As the Electric Sector starts to address the challenges of how to transform the grid to accommodate rapid increases in distributed resources and flexible loads, the key to successful scaling is a standardized communications infrastructure. Standardization enables faster, lower-cost integration of renewable and flexible loads. But the choice of communications architecture and the specific standards has a significant impact on the interoperability of the resulting infrastructure and subsequent success. This panel session will explore the three intertwined topics: architectural considerations and models for DER/Flexible Load integration; choosing communications standards and the interoperability challenges and solutions when creating a standardized infrastructure.
