Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Q&A Recap Connect Faster: Improving Renewable Energy Integration With Modular Power Flow Control Wednesday, September 8 - 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. (eastern US) Featured Speaker: Michael Walsh, Chief Commercial Officer, Smart Wires Webinar Abstract: Modular power flow control provides a uniquely effective approach to help renewable generation developers and asset owners address their most challenging transmission needs. The modern, power-electronics-based version of these devices, built upon decades of grid experience, helps balance network flows by…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Q&A Recap Featured Speaker: Dr. Fredrich (Fritz) Kahrl, Independent Consultant About the Webinar: Electricity systems of the future will require more seamless integration between distribution-level and transmission-level resources. But after a decade of more concerted efforts to bring these two parts of the electricity system closer together, there are still persistent gaps between them. How can these gaps be narrowed over the next decade? Where and what should we prioritize? With a focus on the…

*Please see below for links to download presentations from the workshop.*  View Workshop Recording High levels of Inverter-Based Resources (IBR), e.g., wind, solar, batteries, can create challenges and advantages for power system stability. Join WECC and the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) in a virtual workshop to explore mitigation options with a focus on grid-forming inverter technology. The workshop will start at a high-level, then discuss the details of weak grids, export stability, zero inertia, and IBR considerations. This grid-forming…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Planning and Designing Denmark’s Future Energy Islands – a Large Scale 100% Inverter-based Offshore Power System Wednesday, October 13 - 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. (eastern US) Featured Speaker: Christian Frank Flytkjær, Senior Manager, Grid Analysis, Energinet Webinar Abstract: To harvest wind energy efficiently, Denmark is constructing two energy islands. The energy islands will serve as offshore hubs, collecting and transmitting wind energy to Denmark and other European countries by several interconnectors installed on…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Weak Grid Connection of IBR, Why Are We Still Talking About This? Wednesday, November 10 – 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. (eastern US) Featured Speaker: Sebastian Achilles, Managing Director Power Systems Operation and Planning, GE Energy Consulting Webinar Abstract: Operation of Inverter Based Resources (IBR) in weak grid conditions is a relatively old subject that does not seem to go away. The webinar will begin with a short introduction on the types of performance issues associated…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Derek Stenclik, Founding Partner, Telos Energy About the Webinar: This webinar will serve as a follow-up to the ESIG whitepaper, "Resource Adequacy for Modern Power Systems" released in August. It will expand on the principles outlined in the report by further elaborating on recommendations for improved resource adequacy metrics and future options for the planning reserve margin. The webinar will explore ways to leverage the outputs of resource adequacy analysis…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speakers: Mark O'Malley, Chief Scientist, ESIG and Julian Leslie,  Head of Networks and Chief Engineer – National Grid Electricity System Operator Mark O'Malley About the Webinar: As the power system generation mix transitions, advances in the operation and planning of the power system are required to continue to meet its primary objectives. To meet this need, select system operators on the cutting edge of this transition have collaborated with technical institutions around the world…
