The IEEE Std 1547 series of interconnection standards with electric power systems (EPS) is a benchmark milestone demonstrating the open consensus process for standards development. It covers the technical specifications for, and testing of, the interconnection and provides requirements relevant to the performance, operation, testing, safety considerations, and maintenance of the interconnection. It includes general requirements, response to abnormal conditions, power quality, islanding, and test specifications and requirements for design, production, installation evaluation, commissioning, and periodic tests. These requirements are universally needed for interconnection of distributed resources, including synchronous machines, induction machines, or power inverters/converters and will be sufficient for most installations. It specifies the type, production, and commissioning tests that shall be performed and provides technical background and application details. It specifics alternative approaches and good practices for the design, operation, and integration of distributed resource island systems with electric power systems. It provides recommendations and guidance on the distribution secondary networks, including both spot networks and grid networks. Further, it does not interpret IEEE Std 1547 or other standards in the IEEE Std 1547 series. It also provides tips, techniques, and rules of thumb, and it addresses topics related to DR project implementation. The bundle consists of IEEE 1547-2018, IEEE 1547a-2020, IEEE 1547.1-2020, IEEE 1547.2-2023, IEEE 1547.3-2023 and IEEE 1547.9-2022 standards.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
