Overview
Electric utilities are challenged with proliferating distributed energy resources (DERs), aging infrastructure, stricter regulations and a shifting customer load. Today’s grid was not designed to accommodate the volatility of distributed energy resources, increasing demands from rapid electrification, the rapid digitization of economy and protecting the grid against cyber-attacks.
Building the grid of the future will require a high degree of situational awareness, autonomy, and flexibility to control and monitor the bi-directional flow of power more safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Utilities must have a clear strategy for adopting digital technologies for advance network management systems, better decision support systems using augmented analytics and agile management to attain greater visibility of the grid.
