Frequency, voltage, customer interruption. What do these vital signs tell us about the bulk power system? Learn the basic grid health underlying the vital signs and how to accurately assess them.  Since the 2003 Northeast Blackout, regulation of the electric power industry and standardization of operations by utilities have increased.  Has the grid reliability improved?  The vital signs – frequency, voltage, and customer interruption – communicate important information about the status of the grid reliability.  In this presentation, we explore reliability aspects of bulk power system underlying the vital signs so that you will develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how to assess the bulk power system reliability.  Additional indicators include energy emergency alerts, transmission outage rates, protection system operations, and resource reserve margin.  We discuss ranges, trends, and driving factors that influence changes in these indicators.

The event is free, but registration is required for secure access to the ITC Holdings building.  A photo ID will be required.  Pizza and beverages will be provided.
