Transmission Reliability Program’s 2017 Peer Review Materials Now Available

The Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) held a peer review of its Transmission Reliability Program on June 13, 2017 in Washington, DC. Materials from the peer review, including the agenda and presentations, are now available for downloading. On June 14, 2017, OE held a review of its Reliability & Markets Program in Washington, DC. Materials from the June 14^th peer review, including the agenda and presentations, are available HERE for downloading.

The Reliability and Markets activity of OE’s Transmission Reliability Program researches, develops, and implements infrastructure to ensure electric reliability while improving the efficiency and economics of market operations.  Research focuses on five key areas: market design, long-term supply and transmission investment, renewable integration, demand response, and environmental impacts. Researchers use models and simulations to assess how new technologies, policies, environmental regulations, or market designs will impact electric grid reliability and electricity costs before actual implementation. The activity helps to ensure electric reliability, while also improving the efficiency and economics of market operations.
