IEEE PES Atlanta Technical Talk – Trends in Power Generation and Reliability

As the energy transition gains momentum, it presents unique hurdles for utility operators and managers, as well as power system service providers. These challenges encompass the integration of variable renewable energy sources, grid stability and reliability concerns, and the need to modernize infrastructure to accommodate the evolving energy landscape. In the coming decade, this means substantial investments in renewable resources can be expected creating new opportunities and challenges for equipment testing. Some of this new equipment will require modernized testing standards/training requirements. Testing technologies will need to evolve to support asset management programs and focus on services, measurement, and automation. And today, the role of Artificial Intelligence, the increased need for automation, and cyber secure designs are just some of the many additional factors to be considered in this evolution. The big question is, how can the testing industry step up its game to support higher levels of reliability and compliance as the electric sector transitions to the electrification of everything?
