technologies start to emerge, allowing for real-time dataexchange between utilities and consumers. These new and innovative grid technologies includemicrogrids, energy storage systems, and demand response programs which have been developedto enhance grid resilience and flexibility. In addition, the integration of renewable energy sourceslike wind, solar, and hydropower into the grid has expanded significantly.
