IEEE Initiatives to Strengthen Grid Resiliency and Reliability

In the past several years, the energy industry focus has been on creating a more resilient, secure, sustainable, and reliable electricity system. The initiatives that we undertake today will affect how we operate the grid in the future and are the cornerstone for enhancing the resiliency and reliability of transmission and distribution systems. IEEE has been cooperating with the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the North-American Energy Reliability Corporation (NERC), and the North American Transmission Forum (NATF). This panel addresses how government and regulatory agencies, and electric utilities address opportunities and challenges in grid modernization, and implement initiatives with IEEE to support strengthening of grid resiliency and reliability.
