In 2007, the utility industry approached DOE to discuss growing concerns they had regarding the potential impacts of FIDVR on grid reliability. DOE has co-sponsored three national workshops (in 2008, 2009, and 2015) with NERC to vet the topic with both the utility and air-conditioner manufacturing industries. These workshops are the precursor to the current DOE research initiative with industry on FIDVR.
