A new report from the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Section 6 and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) highlights the importance of energy adequacy in planning sustainable power grids. Titled Evolving Planning Criteria for a Sustainable Power Grid, the report underscores the need for evolving traditional planning criteria to accommodate the increasing reliance on electricity for economic operations and to ensure overall system reliability.
The report outlines actionable recommendations for planners, emphasizing the significance of considering energy adequacy alongside resource adequacy. Suggestions include evolving resource adequacy criteria, collecting quality data, enhancing coordination between transmission and distribution, and improving benchmarking metrics to assess energy adequacy. The collaboration between NAE Section 6 and NERC aims to enhance the grid planning process and ensure both resource and transmission adequacy in the evolving power grid landscape.
