The GridWise Alliance (GWA) conducted a workshop entitled “Grid Modernization Impacts During Superstorm Sandy and Other Very Large Scale Grid Events” to explore challenges and opportunities that very large scale events (VLSEs) events present to the electric system. This report notes that grid modernization alone cannot adequately ensure that the electric grid is safe, secure, reliable and resilient during a VLSE. Accordingly, VSLE preparation and response efforts must include collaboration among all levels of government, and among people, technologies and processes.
