Reliability is key for utilities, but how valid are the worst-case scenarios that often bound the limits of a project? Can we use technology to take a closer look at the actual likelihood of fault situations and re-assess our approach? This session will tightrope the delicate line separating getting projects onto the grid quickly and doing so safely. Panelists will touch on parameters that may be adjusted to speed things up to improve DER penetration while limiting catastrophic risks. They will also discuss how responsibility might be shared all the way up to the regulator level.
