Distributed Utility Integration Test

In 2001, we began working with Distributed Utility Associates (www.dua1.com) to develop a comprehensive test program for the DOE Distributed Power Program to evaluate and characterize the interaction of Distributed Generation technologies.  The Distributed Utility Integration Test, or DUIT, will provide answers to crucial questions being asked by utility engineers and equipment manufacturers related to the interaction of DG with each other and with the utility distribution system.  Currently, DUIT is establishing a test facility in San Ramon, CA with funding from the California Energy Commission and will begin its comprehensive test regimen.  Endecon is responsible for defining the test procedures and for designing and implementing the data acquisition system and analysis tools.  We will also be performing many of the proposed tests.
