The North American electric system is composed of many businesses cooperating to deliver electricity to the end customer. Today’s technology offers the ability to exchange information to enhance operational and financial effectiveness beyond the automation in present use. The incentive to exchange information electronically is a result of system and business processes that span organizations such as scheduling and coordinating electric supply and demand, detecting and correcting system problems, or providing settlement and billing information to market participants.

Interoperability lies at the heart at solving these problems. This session focuses on understanding interoperation issues and emerging applications driving the advancement of integration techniques and standards that will further grid modernization.
