2021 PES ISGT NA 2/17 Panel Video: Industry Intersections: Digital Transformation in the Utility and DER Space

In a world that consistently demands improvements in outage management, clean energy, connected customers, and every topic in between, the industry is evolving. From analytics in asset management, to customer outage portals, DER management to FLISR - digital technologies are enabling utilities to do more with less.

Join leaders from major utilities, regulatory commissions, and industry groups to learn how digital transformation is changing the way the grid works today. We'll focus on the people, processes, and technologies that present new opportunities - and new challenges - for the professionals in the control center, field, and corporate headquarters.

A critical factor in the successful transition to a more sustainable, reliable and affordable energy system are the IT and OT systems that provide, interpret and act on data. These systems help operators make better decisions, reduce the amount of time spent on repetitive tasks, save customers money and helps to integrate more distributed energy into the grid.

Both utilities and DER developers are implementing new technologies to achieve the energy system identified above. In many instances, these systems will need to work together (or at least in parallel) to keep the lights on. This panel will investigate the technologies, policies, standards, and future of both the US and international energy markets.
