Demand for grid capacity will greatly increase in the years ahead. However, the adoption of new green technologies to meet this growth is being hampered by challenges inherent to both the demand and generation sides that were not anticipated when the grid was developed decades ago. The Climate Positive Energy institute at the University of Toronto is leading a Grid Modernization for Green Electricity Project to launch and operate a grid modernization testing centre that will address the market capacity gap related to technology testing and real time simulation of various grid models. Net Zero and energy transition will require new connections to the grid and improved sustainability. This grid modernization testing facility will bring unique testing capabilities for the Canadian electrical energy industry to help in the evolution to a more decarbonized, decentralized, and digitalized power system.
