The electric grid is poised for transformative changes. Generation and load profiles are changing rapidly, the pace of integrating renewables is accelerating, and there is an increasing focus on the electrification of the transportation sector. There are significant engineering challenges for grid readiness to support renewable integration, electrification, and decarbonization of the industrial sector. Modernizing the electric grid requires integrating a range of new technologies into the grid infrastructure. Managing the future grid while ensuring grid reliability and resilience requires large-scale integration of energy storage, a greater role for power electronics, wide area sensing, distributed controls, and communications. This presentation will review industry plans for grid modernization, discuss the role of energy storage, and highlight current and emerging energy storage technologies and their applications.
