What is Real-Time Grid Management: Keeping the Lights On! about?

THE OBJECTIVES OF REAL-TIME GRID MANAGEment (RTGM) are to prevent widespread blackouts, ensure the grid is operating within safe limits, and to basically "keep the lights on" for all customers.Today, there is an increasing growth of the following: ✔ renewable generation resources ✔ demand response (DR) programs ✔ customer engagement initiatives ✔ electric vehicles ✔ distributed generation ✔ microgrids ✔ cybersecurity fortification ✔ carbon-free mandates ✔ superstorms.Furthermore, the grid infrastructure is aging and more prone to failure. All these factors contribute to greater operational uncertainties that make it more difficult to "keep the lights on." This article describes the evolution of RTGM and how it is adapting to meet today's challenges. It also describes other recent, complementary functions deployed across the grid that also aid in blackout prevention. RTGM The electric power grid consists of millions of equipment components-it is one of the largest and most complex realtime engineering machines in existence. Customer demand for electricity changes second by second. Whenever demand changes, generation must react immediately to maintain system frequency. If demand incr
