IEEE P1547.4     Draft Guide for Design, Operation and Integration of Distributed Resources Island Systems with Electric Power Systems     Under Development
Organization	Institute of Electrical  and Electronic Engineers
Identification	SCC21 IEEE P1547.4 Draft Guide for Design, Operation and Intergration of Distributed Resource Island Systems With Electric Power Systems
Scope	This document provides alternative approaches and good practices for the design, operation and integration of distributed resource (DR) island systems with electric power systems (EPS). This includes the ability to separate from and reconnect to part of the area EPS while providing power to the islanded local EPS’s. This guide includes the  DR’s, interconnection systems and participating EPS’s.
Purpose	This guide is intended to be used by EPS designers, operators, system integrators, and equipment manufacturers. The document is intended to provide an introduction, overview and address engineering concerns of DR island systems. It is relevant to the design, operation, and integration of DR island systems. Implementation of this guide will expand the benefits of using DR by targeting improved electric power system reliability and build upon the interconnection requirements of IEEE 1547.
Status	P1547.4 is currently in sponsor ballot process. After the sponsor ballot process is complete, the sponsor will move the project toward final review by RevCom (the IEEE-SA Standards Board, Standards Review Committee) and approval by the IEEE-SA Standards Board before it is published.
