Resource Adequacy
Resource adequacy is the ability of electric grid operators to supply enough electricity at the right locations, using current capacity and reserves, to meet demand. It is expressed as the probability of an outage due to insufficient capacity.
Attendees at the Electric Power Supply Association’s Competitive Power Summit discussed how markets are responding to rapid demand growth.
NERC responded to comments on the Interregional Transfer Capability Study by explaining its analysis process and defending some of its scoping decisions.
SERC Reliability's Long-Term Reliability Assessment projected four of the regional entity's seven subregions will fall below NERC's reference margin in the coming decade.
With data centers already causing “major disturbances” on the grid, the industry could learn lessons from the recent growth and implementation of IBRs, according to a new Elevate Energy Consulting study.
Speakers at a Texas RE webinar said new nuclear reactor designs offer significant benefits in safety and reliability.
Members of the Eastern Interconnection Planning Collaborative urged regulators and policymakers not to rely solely on NERC's ITCS to guide transmission planning.
To build a reliable, affordable and clean electric power system, the U.S. energy industry and customers will need to shift their thinking about what a reliable system looks like, according to a study from nonprofit think tank Energy Innovation Policy & Technology.
A new study from Duke University says the existing power system could handle much of the demand growth expected in the coming years with no additional generation if artificial intelligence data centers can be persuaded to cut their energy use by as little as 1% during times of peak demand.
A representative of Texas RE emphasized that NERC plans to build on last year's Interregional Transfer Capability Study.
In its Winter Reliability Assessment, SERC Reliability said several of its subregions have high or elevated risk of energy shortfalls during extreme conditions.
