Overview of Distributed Energy Resources and their impacts on Grid Operations – This paper takes contemporary information and reports from both the Independent System Operator (ISO) and distribution levels, and attempts to define a path to integration – not from a policy or conceptual viewpoint, but from an operational, reliability and market standpoint.
