Gone With The Wind? Understanding Grid Resiliency
The Energy Collective offers the audio portion of a webinar that discusses the regulatory ecosystem and points out gaps, challenges, and opportunities for innovations in achieving the objectives of making the nation’s electric grid reliable and resilient.
On its website, the Energy Collective says that derechos, superstorms, human error and deliberate cyber attacks can disable vast swaths of our electrical grid and expose communities to crippling economic and social impacts. We have a number of technologies and business models that can help address grid weaknesses, but are our federal and state policies prepared to help or hinder these innovations?
Presenters are Raiford Smith, Director of Smart Grid Emerging Technology for Duke Energy; Chris Kotting, Executive Director of the Energy Information Standards Alliance (EIS Alliance) and Co-Founder of ThinkSmartGrid; and moderator Christine Hertzog, a consultant, author, and a professional explainer focused on Smart Grid technologies and solutions.
