Smart Grid Methodologies and Models to Address Affordability, Sustainability, and System Reliability and Resilience Read more about Smart Grid Methodologies and Models to Address Affordability, Sustainability, and System Reliability and Resilience What are the tools necessary to develop pathways to facilitate an orderly transition from the old grid to smarter grids and low-carbon systems? How can models be designed to address affordability, sustainability, and system reliability? System resilience to extreme weather conditions is also an emerging and important consideration in addressing reliability. This session looks at various modelling methodologies that address these considerations.
