There are no market-ready solutions nor frameworks to optimally manage the exponential increase in supply-demand variability and associated risks holistically across generation, transmission, distribution, & behind the meter (BTM), especially in real-time (day-of, day-ahead) and near-time (week-ahead) horizons. The siloed approach to defining problems and deploying solutions based upon the current grid architecture and operating model is putting the grid at higher risk of failure.
These challenges are being exacerbated by spot load growth, customer adoption of behind-the-meter technologies and programs, and decarbonization and decentralization of grid assets. A new planning and operating philosophy is needed, along with advanced tools and capabilities to maintain grid reliability, resiliency, and security. A holistic approach is essential to optimize investments and ensure reliable grid operations, incorporating new business processes and innovative thinking across the entire grid.
To support recognition of this problem, we have been working to develop the concept of Total Grid Orchestration (TGO).

To support recognition of this problem, we have been working to develop the concept of Total Grid Orchestration (TGO). Total Grid Orchestration is a new approach and framework to system-wide coordination, situational awareness, and risk management across the entire grid. This approach may be utilized by grid planning, engineering, and operation stakeholders to inform near-term operational decisions and long-term planning.
The utility-driven alliance provides a forum for utility members to drive technology development for TGO solutions by defining the business needs, requirements, architecture, and capability models. We strive to inform and improve situational awareness and integrated planning and operational capabilities across Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and BTM assets, maximizing distributed and variable energy supply and demand optimization.
To achieve our goal of optimizing the electric grid to deliver better outcomes through an agnostic and scalable approach, we have mobilized our first working group, Operational and Reliability Risk.

To achieve our goal of optimizing the electric grid to deliver better outcomes through an agnostic and scalable approach, we have mobilized our first working group, Operational and Reliability Risk. This working group, comprised of utility and vendor participants will consider the risks to be quantified and managed across all layers of the grid, as well as the impacts to operations, planning, and engineering functions.
We believe these efforts will foster greater collaboration between electric utilities and technology vendors to develop best practices and promote innovative, utility-informed technologies, thereby enhancing grid reliability and efficiency.
The Total Grid Orchestration (TGO) Alliance will foster a collaborative forum to establish an industry-wide framework for grid orchestration across planning, engineering and operation through a unified risk assessment, identification, and mitigation approach. The TGO Alliance is dedicated to promoting a faster, more integrated and dynamic grid orchestration to enable the grid platform to continue delivering reliable and affordable services. We strive to inform and improve situational awareness, integrated planning, and operational capabilities across Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and Behind-the-Meter assets to maximize distributed and variable energy supply and demand optimization. Our goal is to optimize the electric grid to deliver better outcomes through a balanced and scalable approach, and through dynamic grid lifecycle management, bridge the gap between planning and operations to support the energy transition and ensure a reliable and sustainable grid.
