Abstract
Electrification and decarbonization are two seismic shifts that pose significant reliability challenges to power grid planning and operation. The emerging power supply portfolio is dominated by renewable inverter-based resources, which are sensitive to widespread and long-duration weather conditions and are electrically decoupled from the power system. This projected resource mix will behave quite differently from synchronous generation, which dominates the past and was closely coupled to the power system. As older generation technology is being replaced, a fundamental shift is needed in the understanding of generating capacity, energy supply, and load-serving needs. In addition to this, now more than ever, industry, federal, state, and provincial energy regulators and policy makers need to work together to provide a reliable, resilient, and secure grid.
