The next decade of utility industry transformation will present both opportunities and challenges for distribution grid business owners and operators. Over the medium to long term, transportation electrification will become a huge driver for capital investment in the distribution grid, providing funds to pursue much needed grid modernization and automation investments that make distribution grids more reliable and resilient. Over the short term, however, faster-than-anticipated distributed energy resource (DER) or electric vehicle (EV) adoption could easily create operational challenges such as two-way power flows and accelerated degradation of grid asset condition or performance on overloaded feeders. How can distribution grid operators and their stakeholders plan for the opportunities and challenges of DER and EV integration?
