Reliability Technology Issues and Needs Assessment
Grid of the Future White Papers
In 1999, the Department of Energy tasked CERTS to prepare a series of white papers on federal RD&D needs to maintain or enhance the reliability of the U.S. electric power system under the emerging competitive electricity market structure:
| The Federal Role in Electric System Reliability RD&D During a Time of Industry Transition: An Application of Scenario Analysis | 92 KB PDF, 55 pp |
| Review of Recent Reliability Issues and System Events | 253 KB PDF, 65 pp |
| Review of the Structure of Bulk Power Markets | 212 KB PDF, 62 pp |
| Accommodating Uncertainty in Planning and Operations | 129 KB PDF, 46 pp |
| Real Time Security Monitoring and Control of Power Systems | 99 KB PDF, 48 pp |
| Interconnection and Controls for Large Scale Integration of Distributed Energy Resources | 104 KB PDF, 40 pp |
The preparation of the white papers benefited from substantial electricity industry review and input, culminating with a DOE/CERTS workshop in the fall of 1999 where drafts of the white papers were presented by the CERTS authors, and discussed with industry stakeholders. The DOE Transmission Reliability Program Multi-Year Program Plan emerging from the project is available on the Office of Electric Transmission and Distribution web site.
