DESCRIPTION:Multiple forces are combining to encourage significant expansio
 ns in the use of distributed energy resources in the electric grid\, inclu
 ding the declining cost of distributed renewable energy sources and major 
 initiatives in some states to significantly reduce their carbon emissions.
  These drivers\, combined with advances in key technologies including micr
 ogrids and energy storage\, are resulting in rapid increases in the instal
 led electric power production in industrial plants as well as in commercia
 l and residential buildings.\n\nThis new distribution system architecture 
 provides a promising framework for distributed energy resources to deliver
  the same services as wenow receive from our current grid system at compet
 itive rates\, with reduced power losses\, lower emissions\, and improved r
 eliability. The challenges and opportunities associated with this re-imagi
 ned distribution system architecture will be reviewed\, drawing attention 
 to progress that has already been achieved and the substantial work that r
 emains to be done.\n\nCo-sponsored by: UW-Madison Electrical & Computer En
