UL Vehicle to Grid Standards Development

UL 1741 is the primary standard for certifying power conversion hardware for photovoltaic inverters in the United States and some other countries. This standard has evolved over the years, and now covers various types of equipment used in distributed energy resources (DER) applications, including the electric vehicle (EV) and photovoltaic inverter (PV) ecosystems.

UL vehicle-to-grid (V2G) standards expert Tim Zgonena will discuss the evaluation of safety standards for the rapidly growing DER and distributed energy resources (DER) industry.

Learn about the:
• Different equipment covered, from inverters to PV rapid shutdown systems
• Energy source types and products covered functionality
• Safety standards considerations for functional, electrical, and mechanical hazards
• And performance considerations

Tim will also cover the standards impacting energy storage systems and EV charging infrastructure as equipment evolves from single-directional to bi-directional use models.
