LSP 8300 — Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the Electrical Grid
Introduces the concept of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the electrical grid and the standards that inform DER deployment. Requires no prior knowledge of the topic and is intended for students who are interested in exploring technical (e.g. engineering, chemistry, software), professional (e.g. architecture, marketing, finance), and operational (e.g. accounting, logistics) careers in the rapidly growing distributed energy industry. Gains a foundation in the basic electrical concepts that are needed to understand the more detailed considerations associated with DER in the grid. Provides detailed insights into topics concerning DER interconnection standards and regulations, DER networking standards like IEEE 2030.5, and cybersecurity. Key DER technologies such as solar, wind, energy storage, and electric vehicles are also covered in more depth.
