IEEE PES Distributed Resources Integration (DRI) Working Group

DRIWG Scope

  • Define the impact of Distributed Resources on planning, design, operation, protection, reliability, power quality, and safety of power distribution systems, and other customers’ equipment.
  • Investigate the changes needed to current system planning, design, operation, maintenance, and protection practices needed to integrate and accommodate Distributed Resources into existing and future distribution systems. This may include desirable communication practices between the utility and the Distributed Resource facility.
  • Sponsor panel presentations, develop working group papers, and possible develop an application guide or set of recommended practices in the future as the technology evolves.
