Utility grid edge investment strategies to modernize and future-proof operational systems
March 26 | 4:00-4:50 PM | C3
In this panel, stakeholders from several utilities — AES, Duke Energy, and DTE Energy — will discuss how they are investing in and planning to implement new grid edge interoperability technologies to ensure reliability via distributed controls, while also coordinating with existing centralized systems and decentralized automation devices.
Utilities tap into unprecedented federal funding to bolster resilience
March 26 | 1:00-1:50 PM | C143/149
In an era marked by escalating challenges such as extreme weather events, the swift adoption of electric vehicles, and heightened demands from burgeoning sectors of the American economy, the resilience and reliability of our electric grid face unprecedented trials.
UU307: DER integration on radial distribution systems
March 24 | 1:00-1:50 PM | C155
This course explores evolving grid impacts with distributed energy resource (DER) adoption that alter the fundamental operating characteristics of the electric grid, transforming it from a one-way central supply structure to one that has bidirectional power flows. This course includes a discussion of key issues that arise when DER are added to radial distribution systems.
