The Digital Grid

Home The Digital Grid

The electric grid is increasingly digitized and interconnected. Along with electrons, vast amounts of data now flow across the transmission and distribution systems between consumers, generators and grid operators. Turning data into information for use in real-time grid management and long-term planning is key to the digital transformation of the electric grid. The GridWise Alliance will explore this digital transformation in July, focusing on how digitalization—or the process of using digital technologies to create new value streams—is essential to achieving the grid of the future.

The GridWise Alliance produced a report describing a vision for the future grid of 2030. Digitalization is the foundation for achieving that vision of an increasingly complex but flexible, secure, adaptable, and responsive grid. Key questions for July’s Digital Grid conversations will include how digitalization will enable the grid of the future:

Useful Information

Will be included near months end as its produced.

Key Questions We Are Answering

What digital technologies will make balancing supply and demand more efficient?

How will digitalization enhance real-time situational awareness and predictive modeling?

As interdependencies and interactions between transmission and distribution system operations grows, what information will be exchanged between the transmission and distribution systems in real time, and how will digitalization allow more integrated coordination between the two systems?

How will the exchange of information be automated and optimized by the development of standard data structures?

How will digitalization improve visibility from transmission to interactive end devices?

What are the challenges to deploying real-time, automated communications to end-use devices and grid equipment that will enable the digital grid?

We applaud the U.S. Senate bipartisan infrastructure group for its leadership with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The bill's grid provisions are historic investments for modernizing the electric grid. https://gridwise.org/praises-senate-bipartisan-infrastructure-group-on-electric-grid-investments/

Yes! And a perfect reference to the 2009 DOE #SGIG program that enabled "more than 200 electric utilities and providers to preform resiliency upgrades to their transmission and distribution networks, metering infrastructure and customer systems" Refresh and repeat.

I’m proud that @Exelon has joined @gridwisedc and leaders across the industry in calling on Congress to fund $50 billion in necessary investments for grid modernization. Modernizing the grid means supporting reliability, resilience, & equitable access to affordable electricity.
