We are proud to present the second session in a two-part training course focused on IEEE® Std 1815.2™-2025, “IEEE Approved Draft Standard Profile for Communications with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) using IEEE Std 1815™ [Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3)]” (the standard), which defines how Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) can be managed using the DNP3 protocol. In this six-module session, participants will build on the foundational topics covered in Part 1.
In Part 2, participants will explore core DER functions and how they work together. Covered topics include compliance, data types, function timing, priorities, and schedules. This session will then address the basic DER capabilities, active power functions, and reactive power functions defined in the standard. The final module in Part 2 will include a review of the material covered in Parts 1 and 2, the remaining challenges, and the standard's advantages and benefits.
The following topics will be covered in Part 2: (15-minute modules):
1. DER Function Descriptions
2. Functions Working Together
3. Basic DER Capabilities
4. Active Power Functions
5. Reactive Power Functions
6. Review and audience participation and discussion.
DNP-UG is grateful for the support and participation of SaskPower in the development and presentation of Part 1 & Part 2
