IEEE 1547 - Purpose

Purpose

"This document provides a uniform standard for interconnection of distributed resources with EPSs . It provides requirements relevant to the performance, operation, testing, safety, and maintenance of the interconnection."

With the increased adoption of distributed resources in the present and future, a set of standards regarding their usage in the grid becomes increasingly important for the overall reliability, safety, and cost. Furthermore, the lack of a concrete national standard was seen as a roadblock to the implementation of new distributed generation projects. The standard is intended to be universally adoptable, technology-neutral, and cover distributed resources as large 10 MVA.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    Our purpose in founding the city was not to make any one class in it surpassingly happy, but to make the city as a whole as happy as possible.
    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    And is the price for your acceptance for me to conform? To be as you would want me to be?... You must accept me as I am. Do not question.... If my behavior seems different perhaps it is because it serves a higher purpose than to find acceptance in this dull and useless world.
    Pat Fielder, and Paul Landres. Dracula (Francis Lederer)

    Some of my friends spoke as if I was coming to the woods on purpose to freeze myself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
