Utilities face a host of rapid changes in a what used to be a staid business: new business models, changing supply and demand forecasts, new distributed architectures, new types of resources, new participants in the power grid that they don't control\u2026yet they still must maintain a highly reliable power grid that operates within fairly narrow parameters.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, difficult questions remain to be solved, about how we\u2019re going to manage our grid power transition, who the winners and losers will be, what destination we\u2019re headed for, what role consumers and \u201cprosumers\u201d will play in the future, and what our reasons are for executing transition the way we do.<\/p>\n
We tackle all of these issues in this wide-ranging, very geeky conversation about the \u201cblocks and squiggles\u201d of the grid of the future. Grid power transition, the rebound effect, energy efficiency, utility business models, cutting-edge grid power management considerations, regulation and rate design, electric vehicles as distributed energy resources\u2026 they\u2019re all here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
