DESCRIPTION:This talk will begin by providing a historical context to the e
 volution of the electric grid and the challenges that it has overcome duri
 ng the past century. It will then highlight the present and future challen
 ges - classified as ‘transformative’ - and the need to make the grid m
 ore resilient\, reliable\, with the ability to interconnect growing amount
  of distributed energy resources. Through case studies the impact of solar
  on the traditional electric grid will be discussed along with examples of
  projects that provide solutions to these challenges – such as Volt-Var 
 optimization techniques and Utility Scale Batteries.\n\nCo-sponsored by: E
