Distributed Energy Resources Planning

DER Planning Services

DER Planning Services & DER System Design

Integrating DER into Reliable, Flexible Power Systems
As the grid evolves, Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are reshaping how facilities, utilities, and customer campuses manage power generation, storage, and consumption. Mangan Power Group offers comprehensive DER planning services to help clients safely and effectively integrate distributed assets, such as solar PV, wind, energy storage, fuel cells, and microgrids into existing and new electrical systems. 
Our engineering teams bridge the gap between utility requirements, renewable technologies, and power reliability. Whether you are pursuing sustainability goals, preparing for electrification, or enhancing resilience, we bring the electrical expertise to align DER with your operational and regulatory needs.

DER System Design Services

Compliance, Safety, and Permitting

  • Utility Interconnection & Code Compliance Prepare and submit interconnection studies, applications, and line diagrams. Ensure adherence to NEC, NESC, IEEE, UL, and state DER regulations and tariffs. 
  • Arc Flash, Grounding, and Protection Coordination Conduct short-circuit, and arc flash studies tailored to DER interconnection impacts. Implement grounding, bonding, and protection relay schemes for safe operation. 

Why Mangan Power Group for DER Planning?

Integrating DER is not just about placing solar panels or batteries on-site; it is about making sure they work in harmony with your existing infrastructure. Mangan Power Group delivers utility-grade electrical engineering with the agility to meet resilience and Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and Clean Energy Standards (CES) decarbonization goals. We ensure your DER projects are designed for safety, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Whether you are retrofitting a campus with solar and storage or deploying a utility-scale microgrid, we bring the technical depth and regulatory insight to get the job done right. Our vendor-neutral stance allows us to craft flexible, standards-based designs tailored to your operational goals and future grid participation.
