Understanding the 2050 Electric Energy Grid

New

DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

As we move toward 2050, the continued growth of electrified energy use and processor-based technologies will significantly shape the electric energy grid. This course explores the key changes needed to meet evolving expectations from consumers, regulators and government agencies.

Participants will learn how the grid is being enhanced to better integrate renewable energy, reduce recovery times after disruptions, improve efficiency and lower overall consumption.

The course also covers critical “behind the meter” factors that influence grid design and operation. Attendees will understand the importance of aligning electric system performance with advanced microprocessor and industrial control technologies.

Throughout the course, participants will gain insight from Prescient’s subject matter experts — professionals who investigate grid-related incidents, serve as forensic engineers during component failures and develop innovative models to address future challenges and solutions.

This three-day course will outline key differences between:

  • Traditional and 2050 customer expectations.
  • Traditional and 2050 electric utility performance indicators.
  • Traditional and 2050 storm recovery expectations.

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

  • Define key differences between traditional and 2025 grid functionality and expectations.
  • Understand how electric energy systems can be redesigned to meet customer expectations.
  • Apply recovery strategies in response to storms, threat actors and equipment aging.
  • Analyze design base threats and recovery strategies.
  • Evaluate the criteria used to initiate changes to the electric energy grid.
  • Create an action plan to meet customer expectations in 2050.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for individuals who want to acquire the foundational knowledge needed to guide the transition of the legacy electric energy to the 2050 electric energy grid. Course content will appeal to executives, managers and engineers at any stage in their career as well as analysts, coordinators, project managers and regulatory officials.
