Utilities across the United States are experiencing an increase in distributed energy resource (DER) interconnection applications on their distribution systems. As DER deployment grows, there is a strong need for utilities and regulators to determine the feasibility and potential impacts that the DER may have on the local electric power system. A time domain simulation with detailed DER modeling methodology is widely used in industry to perform a screening or lager evaluation for DER interconnection. The typical time domain studies for DER interconnection may include, but are not limited to, risk of islanding (ROI), transient overvoltage (TrOV), load rejection overvoltage (LROV), ground fault overvoltage (GFOV), low voltage ride through (LVRT), high voltage ride through (HVRT) and underfrequency ride through (UFRT). All analysis will comply with applicable state and utility DG interconnection guidelines, state regulations, utility operating procedures, and relevant IEEE standards (including IEEE 1547 and IEEE 519).
