Monday, October 27
7:00 – 8:00 a.m.: Registration & Breakfast
8:00 a.m. – Noon: Tutorial: Power System Needs and Services Operating with High Shares of Inverter-Based Resources
The tutorial will cover the importance of grid reliability services – in particular, how system needs for services are changing with increasing shares of inverter-based resources (wind, solar PV and battery storage), how their location of delivery can impact system behavior, and how these needs can be met by a mix of resource technologies, including emerging grid-forming inverter technology. Topics covered will include a framework and demonstration of a method to quantify the need for services while simultaneously accredit resources for their ability to provide services. Such a framework can help system operators and planners to determine if they have enough services to cover the needs at all times. This tutorial will also discuss the approaches for procuring services in place today, and the risks and lost opportunity with insufficient interconnection requirements for new generation resources.
