As the electric grid evolves to support greater complexity, resilience, and sustainability, utilities are deploying advanced tools and strategies to optimize operations across both transmission and distribution systems. This topic explores cutting-edge developments in grid monitoring, automation, and system flexibility. Sessions will examine how utilities are leveraging data, real-time analytics, and emerging technologies— such as DERMS, ADMS, SCADA, and grid-enhancing technologies- to manage and control the future grid through orchestration, flexibility and stability
