Webinar: Evolution of Protection Schemes for a High Share of IBR
Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Responses Featured Speaker: Steven Sano, Manager - Protection Department, Hawaiian Electric Company About the Webinar: Hawaiian Electric’s Protection Roadmap looks at the possible changes that will be needed to the grid’s electrical protection systems in response to the increasing levels of inverter-based resources (IBR) at all levels of the electrical system. 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…

Webinar: Marginal Emission Rate and Its Application in Voluntary Clean Energy Investments
Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Download Q&A Featured Speaker: Hank He, Consultant, Tabors Caramanis Rudkevich (TCR) Hank He About the Webinar: Over the past decade, concerns about climate change have led many private corporations to take voluntary action against carbon emissions. 90% of Fortune 500 companies now report their carbon emissions, and more than 48% have plans to achieve net zero by the year 2050. Many of these corporations rely on clean energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as the foundation…

Webinar: System-Level Impacts of Voluntary Carbon-Free Electricity Procurement Strategies
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…
