Operational Coordination across the Transmission,
Distribution, and Behind-the-Meter Domains
(Panel Session)
Session Chair: Joe Paladino, US Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy is examining evolution
at the grid edge and undertaking efforts to better understand
operational coordination requirements, as well as grid
designs, to enable the effective use of distributed energy
resources. These efforts include examining the evolution of
merchant business structures, requirements for coordinating
DER services with utility operations, and the underlying
grid structure to enable effective control and coordination
of DERs. Understanding grid design requirements and
coordination frameworks are necessary inputs into grid
planning processes.

Conservation Voltage Reduction Impacts And Benefits
On Distribution Networks (Panel Session)
Session Chair: Troy Cherry, Reinhausen Manufacturing
Today's electric grids benefit from a variety of state-of-theart
technologies that enable utilities to implement projects
that serve multiple approaches. One deployment of this nature
is related to conservation voltage reduction (CVR), a part of
VVO methodology. The application of voltage reduction in
MV and LV grids to reduce peak power demand or energy
consumption has been implemented since the 1980s using
several approaches. Traditionally, CVR as one such approach

uses voltage control devices to reduce or increase the voltage
setpoint on a busbar, thereby reducing the amount of power
supply in the network. CVR is a passive method that reduces
energy consumption at the customer end, without negatively
impacting any equipment operation. In Distribution Automation,
while energy savings is a major benefit of CVR, the
technology deployment involved in CVR also serves as part
of grid-reinforcements, and other voltage-related challenges
stemming from DER integration and high EV charging loads.

DER Adoption Forecast and Electrification Grid Impacts
(Panel Session)
Session Chair: Julieta Giraldez, Kevala
Successfully achieving the US's electrification and decarbonization
goals depends on an electricity grid that can
support diverse electrification technologies and maintain
the affordability of the grid for all citizens. However, the
scope and scale of potential electric grid impacts and
associated costs necessary to support current electrification
goals, are not currently well-understood. In this panel,
we explore questions about the electric grid's readiness to
support higher electricity loads, such as:
* What would be the consequences if future electrification
is higher than is reflected in current forecasts?
* Where and when would any such consequences manifest?
* What are the most cost-effective means of mitigating
those consequences?
* Is there a risk of overinvestment if electrification
impacts are less than projected, or conversely a risk of
underinvestment if forecasting scenarios are not robust
enough?
* How can electrification grid impacts analysis help
inform specific customer program, rates, and other customer
or policy changes?
