About the session
The massive expansion of the bulk transmission system necessary to support very high levels of clean electricity requires rethinking U.S. current approach to expanding the grid.
The presentation will discuss challenges with transmission planning currently in the U.S. as well as articulate a set of recommendations for the next stage of proactive transmission planning of a national-scale HVDC macrogrid, which could be built over and interconnected into the existing AC grid.
The presentation will draw from the recent Energy System Integration Group (ESIG) report U.S. Macrogrid: A Path to Achieving the Nation’s Energy System Transformation Goals which is based on several comprehensive studies of a clean energy future for the United States and a series of workshops hosted by ESIG that brought together experts from across the industry, and delves into the reliability, resilience, economic, and operational aspects of the design
