This two-day module provides a foundational overview of NWS, including the tools and resources needed to evaluate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and integrate them into regulatory applications. Participants will gain an understanding of relevant technologies, best practices, and OEB-compliant benefit-cost analysis approaches. Using case studies and practical exercises, this module aims to enhance participant expertise and strengthen their understanding of NWS implementation.
