Webinar: Flexibility from Hydrogen
April 25, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Featured Speakers: Anna Lafoyiannis , Technical Leader, EPRI and Maren Ihlemann, Engineer/Scientist III, EPRI
About the Webinar: Hydrogen production has the potential to provide many important power system services. Techniques to effectively model and integrate hydrogen into power system planning processes are emerging. This webinar will discuss the current state of modeling techniques in power system models, key considerations, and ongoing research activities to develop improved modeling methods, in order to understand the implications of electrolytic hydrogen production for electricity system operations.
About the Speakers: Anna Lafoyiannis is a Technical Leader at EPRI, where her research focuses on strategic decision-making to support long-range resource and transmission planning. Before joining EPRI, she was supervisor of reliability assurance at Ontario’s IESO, where she developed its capacity market and set specifications for long-term contracts. She also held leadership roles at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), including a term as chair of NERC’s Reliability Assessment Subcommittee. Anna holds a B.A.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo and M.Eng. in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, with an emphasis on Sustainable Energy from the University of Toronto.
Maren Ihlemann is an Engineer/Scientist III at EPRI, working on resource adequacy, with a research focus on new methodologies and climate resilient planning. Prior to joining EPRI, she completed her PhD at the KU Leuven University, Belgium, in the Group of Energy Systems Integration & Modeling. Her research focused on developing and applying a highly flexible, multi-energy system modeling tool. As part of the Horizon 2020 Project Spine, she was one of the core developers of SpineOpt and later led the corresponding work package. Maren holds an M.Sc. in Energy Engineering and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineer from the RWTH Aachen University, Germany.
