Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Deepak Ramasubramanian, Technical Leader, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) About the Webinar: With the increase in inverter based resources, insight is needed on how to plan a system with a large percentage of inverters. What are the kinds of services needed from the grid forming resources? What impact will these services have on the power system both from a small signal and large signal perspective? How should you differentiate between…

  Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speaker: Stephen Bukowski, PhD PE, Infrastructure Security, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) About the Webinar: Our focus is on securing renewable transition. This DOE funded program provides resources for entities in support of the objective to “raise the cybersecurity floor” across the renewables sector. We hope to provide the cyber tools for owners and operators in the renewable field to improve operational reliability and resiliency, lower business risk, and highlight possible next steps in…

Historically, our protection systems have been based on a “strong grid” consisting of centralized, transmission-level rotating synchronous generator power plants. Our…

  Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speaker: Marta Val Escudero, Technical Leader, EirGrid About the Webinar: The power system transition towards decarbonization introduces many technical challenges and increased operational complexity. In Ireland and Northern Ireland, a small synchronous power system with limited HVDC interconnection, the challenges are more pronounced and new holistic approaches have been developed to steadily increase the instantaneous share of non-synchronous resources (mostly wind) to the current level of 75%. One of the key contributors to…

Many of these corporations rely on clean energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as the foundation…

The project is a world-first initiative, exploring how distributed…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Featured Speakers: Jesse Jenkins, Assistant Professor & Wilson Ricks, PhD Candidate, Princeton University About the Webinar: Voluntary procurements of carbon-free electricity are a popular avenue for corporate climate action, yet there is little available information regarding their impact on carbon emissions at the level of the entire electricity system. In this study we address this knowledge gap by using an electricity system capacity expansion planning model to assess the consequential, system-level impacts of…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speaker: Julia Matevosyan, Chief Engineer, ESIG About the Webinar: With grid forming controls being considered as one of the solutions for the reliable integration of inverter-based resources (wind, solar, storage), there is a need to define interconnection requirements (or grid codes) and performance expectations for this technology. Around the world there are a handful of entities that have begun working on grid codes for grid forming technology, including National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO)…
