Today we rely on just-in-time delivery of electricity that is sometimes vulnerable to natural disasters and failure at peak demand. This plenary session examines the reliability, resiliency and security of emerging technologies in an increasingly electrified energy system.

Speakers include: Bill Rosehart, Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, Ted Sargent, and Walt Patterson

This is the last of three morning plenary sessions that serve as 'primers' on major issues we face in the global energy landscape. Scientists and advisors share their expert insights on opportunities for innovation.
