🆕: Today, OE announced the selection of Southern Company for a $2.4 million project on Distribution Communication and Control Technologies Research, Development, and Demonstration. Through this funding, OE’s research partners will be able to experiment with new approaches & technologies on the operating grid without risking disruptions to critical energy services. ⚡️ What does this mean? The grid is constantly evolving and adding new resources like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles. This new infrastructure will require a more advanced grid with new tools, devices, & operating methods. Digital twins–detailed software models of physical systems–provide a means of conducting this experimentation without putting the current in-service electric grid at risk.

In 2019, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) invested $4.5 million to develop a first-of-its-kind software tool to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in firmware and defend the electric grid from cyberattacks and bad actors. Today, the award-winning DisCo software can be downloaded online at no-cost and allows utilities and equipment manufacturers to automatically detect changes in firmware and find unwanted threats! 🤖 Learn more about the software and its usability among many different industries: https://lnkd.in/e9iAZQPS

The Grid Modernization Initiative is working across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to create the modern grid of the future. We're excited about the launch of the new #presidential Federal-State Modern Grid Deployment Initiative, which will bring together states, federal entities, and power sector stakeholders to help drive grid adaptation quickly and cost-effectively to meet the challenges and opportunities that the power sector faces in the twenty-first century. Join the nation as we work together to deliver resilient, reliable, flexible, secure, sustainable, and affordable electricity as our energy needs grow. https://lnkd.in/e5EX8uaU
