A new Dartmouth Engineering study shows that integrating renewable energy into the American Electric Power System (AEPS) would enhance the grid s resilience, meaning a highly resilient and decarbonized energy system is possible. The researchers analysis is based upon the incremental incorporation of architectural changes that would be required to integrate renewable energy into AEPS.
IEEE Access. We concluded that there are no structural trade-offs between grid sustainability and resilience enhancements, meaning these strategic goals can be pursued simultaneously, said Principal Investigator Amro Farid, a professor at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth and research affiliate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
