verde (visualizing energy resources dynamically on the earth) is a visualization and analysis capability of the united states department of energy (doe). the system, developed and maintained by oak ridge national laboratory (ornl), provides wide-area situational understanding of the u.s. electric grid. enabling grid monitoring, weather impacts prediction and analysis, verde supports preparedness and response to potentially large outage events. as a real-time geo-visualization capability, it characterizes the dynamic behavior of the grid over interconnects giving views into bulk transmission lines as well as county-level power distribution status. by correlating grid behaviors with cyber events, the platform also enables a method to link cyber-to-infrastructure dependencies.
