Standards and interoperability
Underpinning a robust and secure electricity network is the need for a nationally consistent set of standards and protocols to enable distributed energy resources (DER) to "talk to one another". The ANU is leading the establishment of Australian standards and new testing and certification systems and services= to harmonise DER integration.
