Exploring Grid Resilience as an Approach to Evaluating Energy Technologies

This webinar recording from the Center for Renewable Energy Advanced Technological Education Resource Center (CREATE) features a presentation from Dana Haine, who provides an overview of a lesson that invites students to learn about grid infrastructure, thermal power plants, and renewable energy systems through the lens of resilience while promoting critical thinking about the US energy system and the evolving US electrical grid. Content from the Fourth National Climate Assessment is incorporated. The pros and cons of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, local and regional extreme weather and climate-related events, existing technologies that promote grid resilience, and other topics are highlighted.
