Defining a Roadmap for Successful Implementation of a Hosting Capacity Method for New York State
Effective, efficient evaluation of the grid impacts of distributed energy resources is a necessary aspect of distribution planning today. This report defines a method for New York State to analyze hosting capacity—the number and kilowatt capacity of distributed energy resources that distribution feeders can accommodate without adverse impacts to the grid’s power quality and reliability […]

Integration of Hosting Capacity Analysis into Distribution Planning Tools
With more distributed energy resources connected to the distribution system, the industry needs methods to plan for and integrate these resources. EPRI has developed such methods and is working with utilities and vendors to implement them with existing distribution planning tools and data that most distribution planners have on hand.
