Emerging Trends

An element of the PSA methodology that involves the mapping of the drivers of change that may significantly influence the transformation of GW-scale Power Systems over the next decade and beyond.

These drivers present both challenges and impediments and/or new opportunities that are either probable or plausible (but not simply possible).

While some may be endogenous to the Power System, they are typically exogenous and will include the impacts of evolving Customer & Societal expectations of future Power Systems as well as the introduction of new technologies.

Given the fast-evolving nature of power system transformation, the Future Grid Accelerator (FGA) has the status of a perpetual BETA version. Your suggestions for how each concept and definition may be enhanced are very welcome.

All feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in subsequent updates.

Please provide your suggestions to improve to this definition:
