Together…Shaping the Future of Electricity


- Born in a Blackout

Founded in 1973 as an independent, non-profit center for

public interest energy and environmental research

New York City, The Great Northeast Blackout, 1965


Dimensions of EPRI’s Value

Thought Leadership Industry Expertise Collaborative Model

Independent

Objective

Nonprofit


Our Members…

450+ participants in more than

30 countries

EPRI members generate

approximately 90% of the

electricity in the United States

International funding of 25% of

EPRI’s research, development

and demonstrations


The Challenge

Safe, Reliable, Affordable and Environmentally

Responsible Integration of all Energy Resources


Electronics: Smaller with Increased Performance and Decreased Cost

Communication: Increased Speed; Globally Connected Networks and Devices

Information: Explosion of Digital Data and Searchable

A Look Back: The Last 25 Years

Smaller Faster Cheaper

Interconnected Value of Grid Connectivity

Integrated Value of DER and Grid

Interconnected but Not Integrated

Integration Enables Values of all Resources


Integrated Grid: The Vision

Power System that is Highly Flexible, Resilient and

Connected and Optimizes Energy Resources


Less Dispatchable, Less Forecastable, More Dynamic, More Interactive

A Look Ahead: The Power System
