Multifaceted Challenges of Plastic Pollution and Possible Remedies

The Grid of Tomorrow Consortium (GoTC) and its kick-off workshop aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industry practice to address the pressing needs of electric power utilities. This consortium aspires to catalyze cutting-edge research and bolster workforce development for the broader evolving grid ecosystem. Positioned at the intersection of electric utilities, the information technology industry, and academic research, GoTC is uniquely equipped to tackle the challenges emerging from the energy transition. The electrification of homes, transportation, and industries (including data centers), combined with the integration of renewable energy resources and shifts in the energy mix, demands significant changes in the planning, operation, and control of electric grids. Concurrently, advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the abundance of heterogeneous data, and emerging grid technologies present unprecedented opportunities to enhance grid efficiency, reliability, and resilience.
