Inside Technology: Pursue Your Passion .

This document discusses how technology can help modernize and stabilize the power grid. It notes that a stable power grid requires coordination between generation and consumption, voltage stability, quick response to faults, islanding capabilities, and fast recovery from outages. New technologies like real-time monitoring, predictive modeling, automatic controls, and artificial intelligence can help provide these characteristics when integrated with the grid. The document advocates for technologies like sensors, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), improved communication systems, and geographic information systems (GIS) mapping of grid assets to modernize operations and improve reliability.
