Integrating Energy Equity Into Power System Planning and Operation
On November 29-30, 2023, ESIG hosted an interactive technical workshop, Integrating Energy Equity Into Power System Planning and Operation.
The workshop aimed to improve knowledge and practices for integrating energy equity considerations into power system planning and operation. Workshop participants discussed approaches for integrating energy equity aspects into models and tools, leading to a workshop summary discussing possible pathways for enhanced models, tools, and technical practices. Unlike other important forums that address critical energy equity challenges related to community involvement, stakeholder access, impacts from energy system externalities, workforce diversity, and inclusive offerings in energy programs, this workshop prioritized technical aspects of incorporating the challenges and solutions identified by the aforementioned stakeholders and communities. These technical activities would involve the fundamental grid structure and hardware, detailed modeling approaches that benchmark energy system performance and justify future investments, and engineering designs and limitations for potential solutions to meet energy equity goals in communities.
