Electric Distribution Cooperatives’ Planning Must Include Measuring and Improving Reliability

Last month, Josh Pepple, NRTC VP, Technology Planning gave two presentations to the Heartland Metering Conference in Kansas. Today, NRTC is publishing a white paper based on one of those presentations, “Electric Distribution Cooperatives’ Planning Must Include Measuring and Improving Reliability.”

Pepple explains how developments in recent years are leading to increased demand for electricity, which increases the need for reliability. After describing the industry methods and terminology for measuring reliability, he covers mitigation strategies and technologies for improving reliability and resilience.
