The accelerating deployment of distributed resources is posing scalability challenges for the control and operations of modern electric power systems. Large numbers of smaller devices that are owned and operated by an array of stakeholder pose challenges for traditional centrally controlled systems.

As states and cities look to electrify, utilities are becoming both supply and delivery constrained. How do we solve this problem both in the planning domain and the operational domain.

Worldwide, over 700 million people live without access to the electrical grid. The majority of people afflicted by this form of energy poverty live in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The rapid integration of variable renewable energy sources (VRES) into power grids increases variability and uncertainty of the net demand, making the power system operation challenging.
