Grid Modernization and DER Deployment, Lessons Learned and Future Directions
Presented by Avnaesh Jayantilal and Ethan Boardman - GE Grid Solutions
Thursday, April 28, 2016 | 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET
Regulatory initiatives to decarbonize our ecosystem have led to the growth of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), which include Solar-PV, Energy Storage, Demand Response and Electric Vehicles. DER growth has also been led by new innovative technologies. Moreover, recent grid restoration experiences from major storms have shown the potential of DER to provide emergency electricity service. DER is also revolutionizing how consumers value electricity service and reliability. DER provides new opportunities to optimize real-time transmission and distribution grid operations.
This webinar will present the challenges and opportunities of DER for real-time grid operations, and will share lessons learned from recent Advanced Distribution Management Solutions (ADMS) and Distributed Energy Resource Management Solutions (DERMS) deployment projects in integrating, scheduling and dispatching of DER.
