U.S. Department of Energy Grid Modernization Workshops Southwest Region

Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is convening six regional workshops across the country as part of its Grid Modernization Initiative. The Southwest Region workshop will be held at Paul Brest Hall at Stanford University in Stanford, CA, on June 7 and 8.

The objective of the workshops is to solicit stakeholder input on DOE’s grid-related research and demonstration strategy and the grid-related technical challenges of emerging policy issues confronting the region and the nation as a whole. The workshops will have both technology sessions and regional sessions.

The technology sessions will solicit feedback on the Department’s Grid Modernization Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) and its six technical areas: 1) Devices and Integrated Systems, 2) Sensing and Measurement, 3) System Operations and Control, 4) Security and Resilience, 5) Design and Planning Tools, and 6) Institutional Support. The regional sessions will explore the technology implications and challenges associated with emerging policies.
