National Renewable Energy Laboratory Innovation for Our Energy Future

Today’s Electricity System

2

• Production follows

demand

• Largely

electromechanical

• High carbon/low storage

• Blind to

distribution/demand

• Very little information and

control

• Central planning, design

and operation

• Aging assets

National Renewable Energy Laboratory Innovation for Our Energy Future3

21st Century Electricity System
