Abstract

This Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Visibility and Monitoring Best Practice Guide (the Guide) has been developed by the DER industry to specify the data required to enable the transition of our electricity network to a high penetration DER grid. DER includes rooftop solar, batteries, and other appliances such as Electric Vehicles (EV) chargers. This Best Practice Guide is a voluntary Guide. This Guide specifies what data is required to be collected. How this data is managed and made available to the industry regulators and operators requires further work to ensure appropriate and cost effective data privacy and security is maintained.
