In 2004, the Jericho Forum promoted the idea of deperimeterization where they wanted to focus on securing the network from the inside out rather than from the outside in. Six years later, the term “Zero Trust” was coined, and finally, in 2020, NIST published SP 800-207 (Zero Trust Architecture). As a security model, strategy, and framework that has been around for many years, both Zero Trust and Zero Trust Architecture are now receiving much attention today. In this webinar, an overview of Zero Trust, Zero Trust fundamentals, the SolarWinds attack case study, and finally, Zero Trust Architecture fundamentals, its use cases, and maturity models, will be presented.

With the United States' ambitious renewable energy goals, the demand for large-scale (>20MW) generator interconnection (GI) services has increased significantly, leading to longer interconnection queues and longer wait times for developers. Understanding how large-scale projects are studied in the interconnection process is crucial for developers, policy makers, and other stakeholders involved in the renewable energy sector. Transmission Service Providers (TSPs) are responsible for studying and evaluating large-scale generator interconnection requests to ensure the safe and reliable integration of new energy resources into the electric grid. TSPs use a variety of technical studies to evaluate the impacts of large-scale GI requests. These processes and technical studies can vary by region and can significantly impact the feasibility of a renewable energy project. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of the interconnection processes for large-scale generator projects in the United States. We will explore a variety of different study practices, including those in MISO, PJM, SPP, ERCOT, and TSPs in the Western Interconnect. The presentation will also touch base on challenges TSPs are experiencing with the volume of GI requests in queues across the country.
