Decarbonizing the Grid - Technology and Policy

Explore the rapidly evolving landscape of energy technology and policy in this 32-minute webcast from Stanford University. Delve into the technical opportunities of integrating distributed energy resources (DER) like wind, solar, and electric vehicles to enhance grid resilience. Gain insights from Stanford Associate Professor Ram Rajagopal on the impact of DERs on the grid, their coordination, and the implementation of Powernet. Examine the policy drivers and key players needed to scale demand-side flexibility with Stanford Precourt Institute for Energy scholar Dian Grueniech. Discover market opportunities for decarbonizing the grid and learn about traditional demand-side tools, energy efficiency, and on-demand flexibility. Understand the challenges and barriers in transforming the energy sector towards a cleaner, safer, more affordable, reliable, and equitable modern energy system.
