DEIP Interoperability Steering Committee
July 2023
Version 1.0
The Distributed Energy Integration Program (DEIP) is a collaborative network of government agencies, market bodies, peak industry bodies and consumer associations working together to maximise the value of distributed energy resources (DER) for all Australian consumers.
The DEIP members exchange insights, seek industry consensus, and focus attention on priority activities to provide the necessary pre-policy evidence needed to support informed decision making in the Australian energy transition.
This ‘Common Smart Inverter Profile – Australia’ and these accompanying Test Procedures were developed by the DER Integration API Technical Working Group. This working group formed in 2019 as a collaboration of Australian energy sector businesses from across the supply chain, including numerous distribution networks, retailers, equipment manufacturers and aggregators.
