IEEE 2030.5 DER Workshop
For those Planning to Meet CA Rule 21 Requirements
Our IEEE 2030.5 DER Workshop provides a practical and technical understanding to attendees on how to meet the CA Rule 21 IEEE 2030.5 requirements. This workshop will provide attendees with clarity and firm foundation to build, deploy or specify IEEE 2030.5 products for CA Rule 21 requirements.
IEEE 2030.5 DER Training Workshop
CA Rule 21 mandated certification started June 22, 2020. If you are planning or starting to develop or test Common Smart Inverter Profile (CSIP) based DER systems, you can jump-start your efforts with QualityLogic’s in-depth technical training on IEEE 2030.5, CSIP and Rule 21 technical requirements. This workshop is the fastest way your team can gain the valuable technical understanding of the CA Rule 21 requirements for Smart Inverters, DER Management Systems, Aggregators, and other DER systems.

Steve did an amazing job presenting this in a professional manner while keeping it light hearted and encouraging. We had a lot of questions that probably seemed like simple issues to him, but he took the time to explain in detail every solution. (And time to verify we understood!)
