Considerations for a Distribution System Platform

The Next-Generation Distribution System Platform (DSPx) project is working with regulators, utilities and subject matter experts to develop a consistent understanding of future grid requirements and enable the development of prudent technology investment strategies especially with regard to the integration and utilization of distributed energy resources. The team has applied a grid architecture discipline to impart a holistic approach to grid planning and insights for coherent grid structure designs. In this session, DSPx team members will share observations derived from their efforts with regulators and utilities and provide considerations for the staged deployment of advanced grid capabilities.
