  • ESIG

At the Standards Committee and NERC Ride-through Technical Conference in September, industry noted a need for an Interconnection Standard for IBRs and proposed a solution to have all new facilities follow IEEE P2800 – 2022. ESIG has drafted and posted an informational document which discusses the need for an Interconnection Standard. The document, IBR Interconnection Requirements Status and Needs can be found here:
