Grid modernization for ensuring safety, security, and resilience
Modernizing our electrical grid is a tremendous undertaking, requiring the coordination and collaboration of a wide range of stakeholders, including government, regulators, utilities, and—perhaps most importantly—the myriad of consumers.
View Sandia’s history of supporting grid modernization efforts: view timeline.
Sandia supports national efforts to modernize the electric grid by:
Developing new transformational energy technologies,
Analyzing the technical, economic, and national security implications of the loss or disruption of critical civilian and military energy infrastructures, and
Developing a better understanding of infrastructure protection and options for disruption mitigation, response, and recovery.
Our work in grid modeling, microgrids, distributed systems, and power electronics supports the increased use of renewable energy as well as better protection of critical energy infrastructure and assets.
