The Changing Distribution System
As the landscape of distribution systems continues to increase in complexity due to increased Distributed Energy Resource penetration, increased Electric Vehicle adoptions, new advanced technologies and increased customer demands, the design of the system needs to be considered as a whole. Distribution Automation, Voltage Optimization, or Distributed Energy Resource deployments cannot be introduced in isolation. Rather, seemingly competing technologies need to be integrated together to continue advancing the reliability and resiliency of the grid. Utilities need to develop new technologies to accommodate the changing grid.
