Vision for the Future Grid: Industry Perspective

Electric utilities are evaluating innovative technologies, exploring new ideas and tools, and adopting new processes and methodologies to address electrical grid changes. The real question is that as an industry, do we really have a right vision and a plan in place to meet the challenges of the evolving grid? In order to address these challenging issues, the IEEE PES Industry Technical Support Leadership Committee has initiated the Corporate Engagement Program. ComEd, ISO New England, National Grid, VELCO, and Quanta Technology were the first organizations to join the program in 2019. National Grid joined the program in 2020. Several other corporations are expected to join in 2021. In this panel session, leaders and experts from these industry organizations will share their industry perspective on, discuss the need and requirements to meet the future challenges, and share ideas.
