Webinar Abstract: Launched in 2017, ENA’s Open Networks Project is laying the foundations of a smart, flexible energy system in Great Britain. Through the work over the years, the project has introduced real momentum into the transition to Distribution System Operation and is playing a key role in enabling local markets for flexibility. With over 2.9GW of flexibility planned for tender by Distribution networks in 2021 in Great Britain, the Open Networks Project is playing a key role in boosting…

Webinar Abstract: Policymakers in the U.S. and many other countries are examining whether current electricity market designs are well-suited to support the efficient and rapid decarbonization of the power sector. WRI and RFF are exploring concepts for organized long-term markets designed to operate parallel to today’s short-term energy markets, and intended to identify and support the financing and development of efficient, reliable mixes of clean (i.e., zero- and very low-carbon) resources. Karl Hausker and Karen Palmer will present on why…

Featured Speaker: Ben Sigrin, Energy Systems Modeling Engineer, NREL Webinar Abstract: Forecasting the adoption and operation of distributed energy resources (DER), e.g., rooftop PV, at fine spatial resolution is an integral part of distribution system (DSP) and integrated resource planning (IRP). Two approaches are emerging: simulating realistic, but statistically representative end-users at regional or transmission scale planning, or, simulating actual end-users for specific power systems, typically in distribution planning. Both approaches face tradeoffs in the ease of access to the tools…
