MANY STUDIES SUGGEST THAT DISTRIBUTED
energy resources (DERs) have significant value for the
distribution system by providing an alternative to conventional
system upgrades. Solar photovoltaic (PV) resources
can help reduce the flow on lines and substations, and battery
storage can help support the capacity to serve load
behind a constrained substation transformer. Distributed
batteries and smart-inverter-equipped solar can help stabilize
the voltage. Taken together, this means investments
in conventional solutions for the distribution system,
such as upgrades to and the replacement of substations,
secondary transformers, and capacitor banks, may be
deferred and, in some cases, eliminated.
For this article, DERs include solar PVs, distributed
batteries, demand response (or fl exible demand), energy
effi ciency, and electric vehicles (EVs) (managed charging
and discharging). Many utilities and regulators recognize
the potential value of DERs, and several have quantifi ed
them and started to develop best practices in regulation and
investment planning. However, few studies have looked at
the implications for distribution planning and how utility
practices will need to evolve to capture and integrate the
value of DERs when these resources grow in prevalence
and importance.
Planning for DERs-Utilities and
Regulators Learn as They Go
Over the past decade, the value of DERs in deferring
or eliminating utility investments in generation,
transmission, and distribution has increasingly been
recognized. Many utilities and regulators are in the
process of quantifying DER values. For example, in
2021, Seattle City Light released a grid modernization
