The State of the Grid

Peggy Smedley and Karen Wayland, CEO, GridWise Alliance, talk about the current state of the grid and why it is receiving so much attention right now. She says it is undergoing a rapid transformation, which presents opportunities and challenges, and explains how the grid began with large generators and it evolved with new technologies on the grid and behind the customer meter. They also discuss: Increasing customer demands for clean energy, security risks, and severe weather events that have the potential to disrupt the grid. How to protect the data and use all the information to make the grid respond faster, self-healing, and to build in redundancy. Two big issues that could present a challenge: workforce and supply chain. gridwise.org  (6/6/23 - 825) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G, cloud, sustainability, future of work, podcast, Karen Wayland, GridWise Alliance This episode is available on all major streaming platforms.
