Slides for Distributed Energy Resources Demand and Enable a Smart Electric Grid : Part 3

The electric utility industry is undergoing revolutionary change. Many foundations of the longstanding bulk electric system are eroding, and new grid models are emerging. One of the most significant new developments is the accelerating proliferation of distributed energy resources (DER). They pose both daunting challenges and desirable opportunities for existing electric grids. Learn why DER are on the rise, what they are, how they work, and what electric utilities can and should be doing about them.
Session 3 agenda:
- DER Poses Challenges for the Electric Grid
- DER Offers Benefits for the Electric Grid
- What Electric Utilities Should Do About DER
