Regulatory requirements for building communication base station inverters

Do inverters need to be certified for CA rule 21 communications?

t inverter that will be interconnected in any utility that requires IEEE 1547 compliance.Thus, even if an inverter control system or communications gateway has no requirement to be certified for CA Rule 21 communications (because it will be behind an aggregator),

What protocols do inverters need to demonstrate interoperable communications?

that is specified in Phases 1 and 3 in conjunction with the communications requirements.However, the new IEEE 1547-2018 standard will require an inverter to demonstrate interoperable communications using one of 3 protocols: SunSpec Modbus, DNP3 or IEEE 2030.5 whether uti

How will inverter communications be certified?

how such communications will be certified has been developed by an IEEE 1547 Work Group. The certification will be a combination of communications tests and validation of inverter functional programming: an end-end spot check to ensure that a utility can send instructions in a stan ze
