Abstract: In recent years, the electric power industry has been undergoing a dramatic transformation driven by a variety of factors, including rapid deployment of large‐scale variable renewable resources (VERs) and distributed energy resources (DERs); dramatic advances in digital energy and communications technologies that spur increasing customer choice and control; persistent low natural gas prices and increased reliance on just‐in‐time delivery of natural gas to support gas‐fired generation; increased awareness of potential high‐impact, low‐frequency events that may disrupt electricity service over wide areas; and growing awareness of the electric sector's potential role in achieving environmental and other broad, societal goals.
