The fifth and final annual NSERC Energy Storage Technology Network (NESTNet) Technical Conference will be held on Tuesday, June 16 and Wednesday, June 17. Due to COVID-19, we cannot meet in person this year so the conference will take place virtually instead.

Normally this event is open to NESTNet members only, but this year, we are making two of the sessions accessible to the public for the first time. The sessions are free to attend. Please register using the Eventbrite buttons below to secure your spot. A link to the live stream for each session will be emailed to all registered participants approximately 48 hours in advance.

 Ryerson is committed to providing an accessible learning environment. Please let us know if we need to make any accommodations to ensure your inclusion in this event.

Session 6

CSA Standard C22.3 #9: Interconnection of distributed energy resources to the grid

Wednesday, June 17, 2020
1:30–2:30 p.m.

Gary Thompson, Toronto Hydro and Brian McMillan, McMillan Distribution Engineering and Consulting
Introduced by Bala Venkatesh, Ryerson University

In 2017, CSA decided to address technological advances in distributed energy resources (DERs) and revise CSA C22.3 #9 accordingly. The new Canadian national standard was approved in 2020. While it maintains a uniquely Canadian perspective, it is influenced by the latest European and American power quality and interconnection standards and allows equipment designed for both the European and American markets to connect with a minimum of further testing, redesign or reconfiguration of control systems. This webinar will provide an overview of the key DERs, including energy storage, and provide a detailed outline of the new standard.
