**5.8 Protocols and standards**

Some of the relevant standards related to micro grid operation are listed here for reference. IEEE Standard 1547 series covers Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems. Standard Conformance Test Procedures for Equipment Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems are given by IEEE Std 1547.1, Guide for Monitoring, Information Exchange, and Control of Distributed Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems is presented in IEEE Std 1547.3. Guide for Design, Operation, and Integration of Distributed Resource Island Systems with Electric Power Systems is IEEE Std 1547.4 and recommended Practice for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems Distribution Secondary Network are presented in IEEE Std 1547.6 [30]. There are reports prepared by CIGRE Working group also for reference. WG C6.22: Micro grid Evolution Roadmap contains the definitions and nomenclature of micro grid, WG C6.24 explains Capacity of Distribution Feeders for Hosting DER Connection and Integration of DER [31].
