Industry leaders worldwide will tell you that the technology is available to upgrade our electric systems. The transformation from an analog to digital system is a vision that relies on our understanding of the ways in which these applications, as well as future innovation will impact the evolution of the grid. Challenges to upgrading our electric systems revolve around how new technologies engage energy consumers; how an advanced grid reacts to increased demand and new forms of energy; and how to limit the disruptions of adding improved technology onto legacy systems. Four energy industry leaders, each of whom plays an instrumental role in the development of an advanced electric system, will discuss technology trends, strategic planning on consumer involvement, and R&D programs that can unlock the full potential of new grid technologies.
