This session will explore the ways in which interoperability of electric power system components and systems enhance system reliability. Speakers will address both transmission and distribution system reliability and discuss specific benefits such as fewer outages resulting from better system monitoring and additional real-time data acquisition, faster service restoration following an outage due to better information availability, increased system resilience due to better information flow, and better utilization of system resources due to improved integration of both supply and demand side resources.

This session will discuss the economic benefits of the various investments in smart grid related assets, systems, standards, programs and rate design initiatives. Speakers will explore the different methodologies used to measure the costs and benefits associated with each smart grid initiative, and discuss the regulatory changes that may be necessary to maximize the expected economic impact. Speakers will also discuss the impediments facing the various initiatives (e.g., different rate designs, implementing interoperable systems, customer choice, and privacy concerns) for enhancing the economic benefits from smart grid investments as observed in the different markets and regulatory compacts around the country. They will also address how these impediments may be addressed to ensure the support of the various stakeholders, including customers, utilities, technology providers and environmentalists.
