DESCRIPTION:The EARNEST Consortium\, sponsored by the U.S. Department of En
 ergy (DOE)\, is dedicated to identifying and advancing solutions for the f
 uture of the U.S. electricity system. As part of its public engagement\, E
 ARNEST is launching its first webinar series\, focused on “U.S. Grid Rel
 iability and Resilience.” This fifth session will highlight ongoing work
  by the EARNEST research team at Iowa State University.\n\nElectric system
 s planners have been doing their work for a hundred years\, to determine h
 ow to expand generation\, transmission\, and distribution systems\, identi
 fying the expansion in terms of what technologies to use\, when and where 
 to build\, and at what capacities. However\, there remains a need for inte
 grating within planning processes investments benefiting costly “extreme
  events\,” particularly those affected by climate change (e.g.\, high wi
 nd\, extreme snow/ice\, extreme cold\, extreme heat\, flood\, droughts\, a
 nd wildfires).\n\nAs part of the seminar\, the research team will describe
  their proposed approach for an expansion planning tool for identifying a 
 good balance between investments benefiting normal planning conditions\, i
 nvestments benefiting extreme events\, and investments benefiting both. We
  illustrate the tool using a model of the MISO region\, accounting for the
  August 10\, 2020 derecho that swept through Nebraska\, Iowa\, Illinois an
 d other parts of the Midwest\, inflicting over $11B in damage.
