DESCRIPTION:Join Rob Wolf\, PE PMP\, Manager on how grids can utilize a rea
 l-time digital simulation (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin and test man
 ufacturer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to dep
 loyment.\n\nGrid Intelligence is transforming the way modern power systems
  operate by combining real-time data\, advanced analytics\, and AI-driven 
 insights to create smarter\, more resilient\, and more efficient electrica
 l grids. By enabling utilities to better monitor\, predict\, and optimize 
 grid performance\, Grid Intelligence supports faster decision-making\, imp
 roved reliability\, and the seamless integration of advanced technologies\
 , such as DER’s\, wildfire mitigation or virtual protection systems.\n\n
 However\, as more intelligence is moving to the Grid Edge and compliance o
 bligations continue to increase\, how can Utilities adapt and validate tha
 t a particular solution will address the desired use cases? How can Utilit
 ies learn from mistakes of the past\, such as promises related to AMI 1.0 
 or early demand response programs? How can Utilities ensure that their cap
 ital funds are going to solve their most challenging issues?\n\nThis is wh
 ere testing and validation comes in. Utilizing a real-time digital simulat
 ion (RTDS) lab to create a digital twin\, utilities can now test manufactu
 rer claims and ensure equipment is correctly configured prior to deploymen
 t. We will show how utilities can:\n\n1) Validate analytics and Grid Edge 
 applications\,\n\n2) Use real utility historical data to generate new grid
  insights\,\n\n3) Develop and validate new use cases\, and\n\n4) Ensure a 
 utility’s Grid Edge journey generates real business value.\n\nThis Event
