Overview
The Energy & Integration Strategy Interest Group focuses on scouting, evaluating, and demonstrating various emerging technologies and grid options that, whether standalone or in concert, will enable a net zero carbon power system, while maintaining resource adequacy, grid reliability, and affordability. Consideration is given to the transformation of the energy system, including energy carriers (e.g., hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels), and requirements for economy-wide electrification. The question of associated T&D designs/paradigms to support more renewable integration and supply are also considered.
