Abstract and Biographies:
1898 & Co. Presents Topics in Grid Modernization:
The emergence and subsequent proliferation of new grid technology is impacting every level of the electric power system. The traditional patterns associated with generation and consumption of electricity are changing at a rapid pace and the need for effective system planning and analysis is more vital than ever as utilities continue their efforts to provide high reliability and quality of service to consumers. 1898 & Co. represents the consulting arm of the Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company and provides a wide variety of consulting services to utilities and industrial customers throughout the United States and abroad. Through a variety of technical studies and economic evaluations, the Grid Modernization and Distribution Planning service line within 1898 & Co. is helping shape the grid to meet the electricity needs of tomorrow. Some examples of these services include:
Improving grid resilience through hardening, distribution automation, and strategic undergrounding
Holistic siting and evaluation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Fleet electrification strategy
Hosting capacity assessment and impact analysis of distributed energy resources
Development and implementation of non-wires solutions
This presentation addresses some of the ways in which 1898 & Co. is harnessing data, information, and technology to secure efficient and reliable operation of the grid.
