Authors of the recent DOE report, Sourcing Distributed Energy Resources for Distributed Grid Services, will discuss the evolving role of DERs including EV charging to provide grid services for managing local distribution needs affordably. Shifting from traditional, bulk-power-focused DER use to local distribution-targeted applications is essential for deferring costly distribution infrastructure upgrades while ensuring grid reliability. More details and registration link pending. Please contact geb@naseo.org or Rodney Sobin (rsobin@naseo.org) and Jasmine Xie (jxie@naseo.org) with any questions.
