Webinar: The Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study
June 6, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Featured Speakers: Amy Rose, Senior Researcher and Group Manager, NREL; Greg Brinkman, Energy Analysis Engineer,
NREL; Luke Lavin, Research Engineer, NREL
About the Webinar: The Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study identifies and compares different transmission strategies for enabling offshore wind energy deployment along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, from Maine through South Carolina. The study evaluated the costs and benefits of multiple long-term pathways to enable offshore wind energy deployment through coordinated transmission solutions along the U.S. Atlantic Coast while supporting grid reliability and resilience and other ocean uses. Please join Amy Rose, Luke Lavin, and Greg Brinkman as they discuss the study objectives, methods, and key conclusions.
About the Speakers:
Amy Rose is a senior researcher and group manager of the Transmission Group in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center. Her research focuses on planning and operations of low-emissions transmission systems. Dr. Rose contributes to national and regional transmission planning studies to identify investment strategies that provide broadscale benefits to customers and accelerate decarbonization. In addition, she has worked extensively with national and state partners in India to achieve their clean energy targets through large-scale grid integration studies, workforce development, and enabling policy and regulations. Through the Global Power Sector Transformation Consortium, she worked with over 15 countries to identify and meet emerging needs of system operators to manage higher shares of renewable energy on their grids. Dr. Rose holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Engineering System from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Greg Brinkman is an expert in power systems modeling and renewables integration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Much of his work focuses on understanding the impacts of transmission in a future low-carbon grid. He has a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado and has worked on a variety of large-scale grid integration and transmission studies. He helped lead the recently-completed Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study, and currently spends half of his time on detail at NYSERDA supporting offshore wind transmission work.
Luke Lavin is a Research Engineer in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. He develops modeling tools, data, and analyses for valuing the contributions of nascent electricity technologies and uses to future electric power systems. Dr. Lavin holds a Ph.D. in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University.
