Frozen in Texas: How systems diversity helps keep the lights on

The recent blackouts in Texas highlighted how important system diversity is with respect to power generation. These events not only show how dependent electric reliability is on the generation fleet but also on the infrastructure that delivers fuel: especially the gas, ie pipelines, compressors, storage facilities. In this webinar we will review the contributing factors behind the mid-February blackouts and highlight how dependent electric supply can be on the gas supply system. How should planners seek to improve grid resiliency in the future given this cross-sector dependence? How do we consider the effect of future decarbonization policies on such gas-electric interdependence?

Join this on-demand session with experts from GE Energy Consulting and GE Gas Power as they share their experiences using a holistic systems approach with industry partners to enable new carbon reduction milestones.
