Featured Speakers: Bob Zavadil, EnerNex; Alison Silverstein, Consultant; Jay Caspary, Grid Strategies; Rob Gramlich, Grid Strategies; Jim McCalley, Iowa State University; Nick Miller, HickoryLedge LLC; Dale Osborn, Consultant
About the Webinar: The ESIG Macrogrid Studies Scoping Team recently completed a report detailing design study requirements for a macrogrid. Designing and evaluating the performance of a macrogrid is different from conventional transmission planning. In this 90 minute webinar, members of the team will discuss a series of national-level transmission studies that they propose should be undertaken to examine this pathway towards achieving the national’s energy system transformation goals. These studies include macrogrid design and technology considerations, reliability studies, resilience studies, operations and operability, and economic analysis.
