FERC Order No. 2222, issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September 2020, is a landmark regulation designed to integrate distributed energy resources (DERs) into the wholesale electricity markets operated by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs). DERs encompass a range of small-scale, decentralized energy assets such as rooftop solar panels, battery storage systems, electric vehicles, and smart appliances.
Historically, these resources faced barriers to participating in wholesale markets due to their size and the decentralized nature of their operations. Order No. 2222 addresses these challenges by allowing DERs to aggregate, enabling them to meet minimum size and performance requirements collectively. This aggregation facilitates their participation in energy, capacity, and ancillary service markets, promoting a more inclusive and competitive energy landscape.
Order No. 2222 represents a significant step toward a more decentralized and democratized energy system, aligning with broader trends in energy innovation and sustainability.
This course covers the definition of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 2222, major opportunities and challenges, utility’s role, aggregator roles, residential and commercial solar, energy storage, wind, electric vehicles, demand response and other tools, changes to the energy control centers, required communication and telemetry, performance during local and major disturbances, as well as:
- Various electricity markets
- Level of utility preparedness
- Energy Management System (EMS) and Distributed Energy Resources Management System (DERMS)
- AMI and SCADA
- Pros and cons of demand response
- Load forecast
- Accelerated load growth
Additionally, the video on demand will discuss the future of residential and commercial behind-the-meter and front-of-the-meter generation and other tools to manage load, major changes to the energy control center, cybersecurity challenges, coordination between FERC/ISOs/RTOs/utilities and aggregators, performance verification, and penalties.
This course is intended for electrical, mechanical and computer engineers as well as others involved in various aspects of the electric grid, grid reliability and resiliency, rates, dispatch, planning, regulators, and operations who are interested in learning more about FERC Order 2222 which is the biggest challenge that utilities are currently facing and a true test for the grid’s readiness for 100% clean and renewable energy systems.
