Immediate event detection and automated restoration following an event are indispensable for resilience enhancement. Realizing those requires: 1) data-driven outage detection, fault location, asset condition identification to minimize or avoid manual assessment, 2) robust and ...
This panel will address the rising grid constraints resulting from the ambitious electric vehicle (EV) adoption targets and the widespread electrification of transportation. With the electrification revolution well underway, the grid is facing significant challenges in ...
Transmission & Distribution asset infrastructure introduces a number of specialized challenges for utilities to continually manage as part of their asset management (AM) programs. Traditionally, to manage these challenges, utilities have spent considerable time & effort to develop ...
The IEEE Distribution Resiliency Working Group (DRes) is currently exploring the development of distribution system resiliency metrics. The electric utility industry currently utilizes widely accepted IEEE 1366 Reliability metrics to quantitatively measure system performance when ...
Driven, in part, by the US DOE Hydrogen Program, interest in green hydrogen for R&D and deployment is rising in the United States. It is anticipated that regional clean hydrogen hubs will accelerate hydrogen use as an energy carrier for delivering and storing energy. This represents ...
With Decarbonization as one of our greatest challenges, more renewables are being connected. The restriction of this energy source to certain regions requires long AC or DC interconnectors. Therefore, Grid Modernization has been a global focus on changes needed in the power grid to ...
As the grid further decarbonizes and the penetration of variable energy resources increases, unlocking flexibility is key to enabling power systems reliability, resilience, affordability, sustainability, and security. This panel focuses on the fundamentals and technologies to ...
In the modern power system, holistic cyber-physical situational awareness is required for grid operators and stakeholders to coordinate and respond to challenges. Traditionally IT departments have monitored cyber activity and grid operators have monitored physically systems ...
Grounding for power generation, substations, communications, and transmission/distribution powerlines is a decades old technology. Despite that, it’s an essential component for a large percentage of the projects we do as engineers. At its core, what is done hasn’t changed much, but how ...
