The Affordable Innovation for the Grid Act directs the Secretary of Energy to conduct an assessment within 90 days of enactment, in consultation with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Electric Reliability Organization. This assessment will focus on the application of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing technologies , including probabilistic operating techniques, to improve the capacity, reliable operation, and operational efficiency of the bulk-power system. The assessment must specifically evaluate the potential for these technologies to expedite generator and load interconnection studies, analyze their current adoption levels, and identify any technical, regulatory, cybersecurity, or operational limitations. Within one year, the Secretary is required to submit a report to Congress detailing these findings and providing recommendations to overcome identified limitations and facilitate the broader adoption and integration of these advanced technologies into bulk-power system operations.
