Abstract
Techniques are described for compensating for differences in conditions at the PoC and PCC by determining an adjustment to a PoC setpoint that adjusts a value of an electrical parameter at the PCC so as to approximate or equal a PCC setpoint. In some examples, for voltage regulation and protection functions (mandatory trips), the voltages and/or currents are sensed at the PCC (remote sensing) and fed to a DER controller to produce the appropriate action. For power delivery at the PCC, active and reactive power can be sensed at the PCC and measurements are fed to the DER controller.
