Reports

"Key needs, priorities and framework for the development of a common European pre-standard on DER interconnection" (text) including a proposed draft structure for a European standard for interconnection of distributed energy resources (EDIS) Project Deliverable, September 2008 (pdf-file, 872 KB)

"Electromagnetic Compatability for Distributed Energy Resources (EMC for DER)" (text) DERlab Guide Document supporting the EMC standardisation for low frequency phenomena, IEC/ SC77A: PT61000-3-15 Working Paper, January 2007 (pdf-file, 341 KB)

"INTERNATIONAL WHITE BOOK ON THE GRID INTEGRATION OF STATIC CONVERTERS" (text) This white book deals with the future requirements for static converters that can contribute actively to a smart operation of the power systems considering in particular ancillary services, disturbed network conditions, and control and communication requirements. This working paper was initiated by DERlab and is a result of a series of workshops that was open to experts in the field. Project Deliverable, June 2009 (pdf-file, 1,455 KB)
