Extreme weather is reshaping how electric utilities and grid operators manage their systems, especially as renewable energy sources like wind and solar gain prominence. A groundbreaking study by NREL and Sharply Focused explores how these changes affect grid reliability and redefine what constitutes 'extreme weather'. Using sophisticated modeling and historical data, analysts assess how increasing levels of renewables impact the grid's ability to handle storms, heatwaves, and other challenging conditions. This research aims to inform long-term planning and ensure resilient energy infrastructure for the future. bit.ly/4f9ooKi
