PROGRAM AREA OVERVIEW
OFFICE
OF ELECTRICITY DELIVERY AND ENERGY RELIABILITY
The mission of the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability is to lead a national effort to modernize and expand America’s electricity delivery system in order to ensure a more reliable and robust electricity supply. This will be accomplished by actions that eliminate bottlenecks, foster competitive electricity markets, and expand technology choices. A modernized grid will significantly improve the Nation’s electric reliability, efficiency, and affordability, and contribute to economic and national security. The risk of multi-regional blackouts will be reduced through better visualization and controls of the electric grid, superconductivity for electric systems, advanced cable design, storage and power electronics, use of distributed energy resources and micro-grids, as well as other technologies supported by the Office. Effective application of all these technologies requires development of less expensive, second generation, high temperature superconducting coated conductors, cryogenic technology for superconductors, and electric transmission and distribution technologies.
