Transmission Innovation Symposium: Modernizing the U.S. Power Grid
On May 19 and May 20, DOE’s Office of Electricity (OE) hosted a Transmission Innovation Symposium focused on Modernizing the U.S. Power Grid. The symposium featured presentations and panel discussions about five DOE-commissioned white papers on transmission R&D priorities. Over 450 individuals registered for the Symposium. Each white paper assessed the current and future challenges facing the U.S critical infrastructure from the perspective of the technologies that will be required to address these challenges and to prepare the industry for the transmission system that will be required in the future.
OE will be relying on the white papers and symposium proceedings to inform its future R&D programs. For more information on OE’s Transmission Reliability and Renewables Integrations research program, please contact Sandra Jenkins at [email protected].
