GridTechPedia

Empowering Grid Modernization and Innovation

GridTechPedia, sponsored by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE), is a web-based resource to provide stakeholders with a baseline of information on newly available and precommercial grid technologies. By curating and organizing technical and adoption readiness assessments, it aims to support decision making on innovative solutions that can enhance grid capacity, reliability, efficiency, resilience, and affordability.

Our Focus

GridTechPedia concentrates on advanced and next-generation grid technologies that offer promise in addressing the evolving challenges and opportunities in the U.S. electric power sector. By curating and organizing information on these cutting-edge solutions, we aim to: 

• Inform and educate utilities, regulators, and stakeholders on the latest grid technologies and their potential benefits, fostering greater awareness and shared understanding.
• Promote consistency in evaluating and assessing the readiness of advanced grid solutions for deployment, serving as a trusted source of unbiased information on grid innovations.
• Support decision-making to accelerate the adoption of advanced grid technologies, highlighting solutions that can meet pressing needs. 

Our Approach

GridTechPedia leverages the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Commercial Adoption Readiness Assessment Tool (CARAT) to evaluate the adoption readiness of advanced grid technologies. By applying CARAT’s market-driven approach, we aim to provide utilities, regulators, and stakeholders with a clear understanding of a technology’s readiness for grid deployment.
