July 14, 2023

On the thirty - fourth episode of the 4M Utility Strategy Podcast, we sit down with Peter Bergamini to talk about the energy grid from an industry insider's perspective. How can we better plan the management, maintenance, expansion, and long-term engineering of diverse energy systems to keep our grid strong and resilient? What tactics should be used for large-scale, centralized infrastructure, and how can distributed energy resources add flexibility and redundancy to the system?

Peter Bergamini is an electrical engineer with a focus on power systems. He has worked on power plant design (including UPS system, SCR upgrades, backup/generation systems & system protection), substation/switching station design (including breaker coordination, communication upgrades, DG, autotransformer & relaying protection), and switchboard design (including multi section lineups, USS, system coordination, integrated relaying).

Host: David Horesh (Director of Marketing)
