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…

Members of ESIG and/or EPRI are invited to attend a Wind Turbine Blade Maintenance Workshop, co-hosted by EPRI and ESIG. In the first of what will be an annual event, we will focus on assessing blade defects and damage. Attendees will offer examples of blade defects and damage for the group to discuss and learn from. Unlike typical ESIG O&M workshops, attendees will come away from the event with workshop proceedings, which will summarize the examples shared during the workshop…

In partnership with Energynautics, we’re excited to announce the 5th E-Mobility Power System Integration Symposium. The purpose of the E-Mobility Power System Integration Symposium is to discuss the challenges that arise with increased power demand due to electric vehicle charging, and how they can be met by coordinating with renewable power production in the electrical system (hence the combination with the Solar & Wind Integration Workshop). The selection of topics also highlights the need for integrating the required electric vehicle…

In partnership with Energynautics, we’re excited to announce the 11th International Workshop on Integration of Solar Power & Storage into Power Systems. One special focus of the Solar Integration Workshop will be storage integration. Many renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy produce variable power. Storage systems provide a way to level out the imbalances between supply and demand. Thus, electricity production need not be drastically scaled up and down to meet momentary consumption. Instead, transmission from the combination…

WECC/ESIG Grid-Forming Inverter-Based Resources Workshop
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 inverter-based resources workshop is meant to be accessible to a broad audience. This is…
