Phase 3 Functions from SIWG Recommendations Document The results of the 3-19-15 survey are shown. DER manufacturers, implementers, and aggregators were combined, since most aggregators are also implementers. In this Table, only the majority vote is shown (see the pdf files for details). If there was no majority, I indicate the two or three highest results as H-M, H-O, M-O, or H-M-O. A couple of functions (F-W and connect/disconnect DER) were left out of the survey by mistake. A number of additional functions have been suggested and are added to the end of the Table. Phase 3 DER Functions Description Communication Util DER Oth Constraints & with Communications Requirements Comments 2 Monitor Alarms: Provide The DER system (and aggregations of DER systems, ICT: DER system H Larger DERs or emergency alarms and such as virtual power plants) provides alarms and provides alarms and multiple DERs information supporting emergency information via the FDEMS to emergency information within a facility the utility. This function is feasible only if the ICT to utility and/or REP infrastructure is available. 3 Monitor DER Status and The DER system (and aggregations of DER systems, ICT: DER system H Larger DERs or Output: Provide status such as virtual power plants) provides current status, provides status and multiple DERs and measurements on power system measurements, and other real-time measurement values to within a facility current energy and data (possibly aggregated via the FDEMS) to the utility and/or REP ancillary services utility, in order to support real-time and short-term analysis applications. This function is feasible only if the ICT infrastructure is available. (Revenue metering data is provided via alternate means.)
