This chapter explores the challenges and debates surrounding the decentralization of control in power grid management, as distributed energy sources like solar panels and electric cars become more prevalent. It discusses the complexities of effectively implementing decentralization in the dynamic and complex nature of the power grid system.
In today’s episode, we’re once again joined by Seth Blumsack, Professor of Energy Policy and Economics and International Affairs in the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, to talk about the power grid.
In the past, we’ve spoken to Seth about the history of the power grid and how the power grid fails. In today’s conversation, we discuss how it is governed.
