Abstract
The electricity grid is changing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has indicated that operating a modern grid will involve a diverse portfolio of energy resources and multiple economic structures that will rely on, and ultimately benefit from, enhanced interoperability for technology and components of the system, which will unlock tremendous new value across the power system.
