Integrated Utility System Planning: Factoring in the Distribution Grid

States have increasingly asked electric utilities to engage in planning exercises to proactively integrate various aspects of their system and operations. While integrated resource plans have been common methods for utilities to address large-scale generation and transmission infrastructure requirements, the distribution grid has received less scrutiny—even as they’ve been required to incorporate a growing share of electric vehicles and distributed energy resources. This webinar will discuss this growing trend in utility planning practices, how these plans fit into larger utility planning processes, and the role that states play in establishing these requirements.

Energy Storage as Resilience

Energy storage has always had the potential to serve as a vital resource during periods of stress for the electric grid. Energy storage resources can inject much-needed electricity when demand is highest, or support a microgrid that enables homes, businesses and communities to ride out power outages. However, current limitations with the most common battery technologies has, in some cases, constrained the impact of these resources during disaster scenarios, leading some states to begin exploring long-duration storage technologies to support resilience. This webinar will look at current energy storage technologies, how these technologies are currently deployed, and how they could be deployed in the future to support greater resilience.
