Panel Session: Coordination Across the Seams for DER Integration (slides)

With increasing levels of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and their ability to provide grid services, coordination among different entities including prosumers, microgrid operators, aggregators, load serving entities, distribution grid operators, and bulk power market operators is becoming exceedingly important for grid reliability, resilience, and economic benefits to the stakeholders. This panel session will address the following topics in the context of coordination across the seams among these entities:
- Impacts of proliferation of DERs on grid planning and operations
- DER participation in bulk power markets, and implications on the coordination requirements across Transmission and Distribution Interface
- Moving towards Dynamic Operating Envelopes from static Hosting Capacity limits
- Illustrative Use Case: A platform for coordinated operation among Aggregators, DSOs, and RTO
