Many US states are inundated with distributed energy resources (DERs) and far-reaching modernization plans by regulators. No matter the level of DER penetration, most utilities and regulators are grappling with modernizing the integrated resource planning process and operational requirements to meet the changing market. New technologies are outpacing planning timelines with cost curves for DERs (e.g., solar PV, battery storage, electric vehicles, etc.) dramatically changing every few years, and aspiring state environmental goals and consumer requirements driving a need for an integrated process of investment planning. There is also a lack of coordination between the supply, transmission, and distribution planning domains. In short, power generation is shifting from stable, dispatchable resources connected to power transmission to variable, renewable resources connected to power distribution. Thus, the planning process needs to shift to address this new reality.
