As the penetration of Distributed Energy resources (DER s) in distribution systems increases, their integration and interconnection to the grid, and their impact on the grid, need to be addressed in a coherent and structured manner. In the case of a large penetration, DER s can be integrated by aggregating the units using a DER energy management system (DER MS) or can form part of the devices constituting a microgrid, in which case they are managed by the microgrid control system. This article stresses the need for standards to facilitate the large-scale deployment of DER in the distribution system within a microgrid.
