Advanced Inverter Functions to Support High Levels of Distributed Solar: Policy and Regulatory Considerations

Joyce McLaren, Francisco Flores-Espino

Research output: NRELBrochure

Abstract

This paper explains how advanced inverter functions (sometimes called 'smart inverters') contribute to the integration of high levels of solar PV generation onto the electrical grid and covers the contributions of advanced functions to maintaining grid stability. Policy and regulatory considerations associated with the deployment of advanced inverter functions are also introduced.
