Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), UL 2941 provides testable requirements for energy storage and generation technologies on the distribution grid.
Key Points:
- Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), UL 2941 provides testable requirements for energy storage and generation technologies on the distribution grid.
- UL 2941 includes requirements for photovoltaic inverters, electric vehicle chargers, wind turbines, fuel cells and other resources essential to advancing grid operations.
- UL 2941 will also help promote the need to have cybersecurity designed into new inverter-based resources (IBR) and distributed energy resource (DER) systems.
- "The publication of UL 2941 is a milestone toward securing the distributed generation industry," said Danish Saleem, senior energy systems cybersecurity engineer at NREL.
