Download Presentation View Webinar Recording 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…

Download Presentation View Webinar Recording Featured Speaker: Niall Mac Dowell, Professor, Energy Systems Engineering, Imperial College London About the Webinar: Following the terms of the Paris Agreement, an increasing number of countries worldwide are adopting legally binding “net zero” targets, i.e., a requirement to reduce emissions of CO2 to net zero by approximately 2050. While precise dates vary (Finland is aiming at 2035, the EU is aiming at 2050, and China is targeting 2060), all are challenging targets. Across the…

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…
