DESCRIPTION:VIEW PLAYLIST OF SESSION RECORDINGS \n*Presentations are available for download by clicking on the corresponding links below* \n\nMonday\, Aug. 31 (6:00 p.m. US-EDT) / Tuesday\, Sept. 1 (8:00 a.m. AUS) VIEW SESSION\nPlenary Session – Understanding the Physics – Markets Interface\nEnergy systems are evolving at a very rapid pace. This is being driven by increased penetrations of variable generation (wind and solar)\, increased electrification\, and increased participation of the demand side. Maintaining reliability in a cost-effective manner within the energy system is fundamentally a balancing act between the physics (reliability) and markets (cost). As the physics changes (e.g. variable nature of wind and solar\, increased use of inverter-based resources and increased number\, diversity\, and distribution of technologies) this balance is being challenged. New technology capabilities to enhance reliability and reduce costs need to be rewarded and incentivised (e.g. IBRs are very responsive) and their characteristics (e.g. variability and predictability of wind and solar) need to be accommodated and leading to necessary changes to market products and designs. This session will explore a few highlighted topics on this interface.\n\nFacilitator: Mark O’Malley\, University College Dublin / ESIG [flag country=”ie”] \nShort Term Wind Forecasting – Some Physics\, Some Control and Some Market Design Implications\nMichael Brear\, Director\, Melbourne Energy Institute [flag country=”au”] \nGrid Physics and Markets – a Non-Engineer’s Perspective\nEric Gimon\, Senior Fellow\, Energy Innovation [flag country=”us”] \nImpediments and Enablers to Higher Renewable Penetration\nSebastian Achilles\, Managing Director Power Systems Operation and Planning\, GE Power [flag country=”us”] \n  \nMark O’Malley\nMichael Brear\nEric Gimon\nSebastian Achilles\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

In particular\, new technologies and commercial models are emerging that could profoundly change the way low-carbon power systems will be operated\, designed and planned\, starting right from the “edge of the grid”. \nIn this Session we will present fundamental techno-economic aspects of these transformations at the customer-grid interface based on international experiences that in some cases are world-first\, and we will discuss technical\, commercial and regulatory constraints as well as enabling mechanisms to boost DER options at the customer premises which can enable an affordable and reliable transition towards low-carbon futures.\n\nFacilitator: Pierluigi Mancarella\, Chair Professor of Electrical Power Systems\, University of Melbourne [flag country=”au”] \nIntegration and scaling Tesla’s South Australia Virtual Power Plant (SAVPP) into the NEM\nJosef Tadich\, Senior Manager Engineering\, Tesla [flag country=”au”] \nEngaging Customer DER on a Utility Path to Carbon Neutrality\nObadiah Bartholomy\, Manager\, Distributed Energy Strategy\, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) [flag country=”us”] \nResource Planning at the Grid Edge\nSteve Beuning\, Vice President\, Holy Cross Energy [flag country=”us”]\n \n  \nPierluigi Mancarella\nJosef Tadich\nObadiah Bartholomy\nSteve Beuning\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

Increasingly\, significant parts of the system are experiencing periods where 100% or more of instantaneous demand is being served by DERs located at the polar opposite extremity of the grid from traditional generation. This session will explore the physics-based realities of enabling such a profound transformation illustrated by relevant case studies from the very different contexts of remote Western Australia and the United Kingdom.\n\nFacilitator: Mark Paterson\, Chief Strategy Officer\, Managing Director\, Strategen Consulting [flag country=”au”] \nCarnarvon DER Trials Update\nDavid Edwards\, Digital Strategy & Innovation Manager.

These resources take the form of generation\, batteries and smart loads. All of these resources are making a meaningful contribution to improved power system outcomes for consumers but are creating challenges for the traditional ways of managing a power system. Specifically\, we see a blurring of the line between transmission and distribution and how the systems are planned and operated. Issues such as planning and forecasting for future grid development in now more complicated and takes more time and different techniques to analyse. The modelling of the power system needs to evolve to take into account the significant resources in the distribution system and their contribution to the power system as a whole. Solutions to maintaining stability\, power quality and operational efficiency need to be found. This may take the form of technical engineering solutions or market led solutions. This session will focus on: \n\nForecasting and planning\nModelling the power and energy systems\nLocal flexibility markets for system wide operation\nMaintaining stability\, power quality and operational efficiency\n\nFacilitator: Gerard Reiter\, Managing Director\, Axcentium [flag country=”au”] \nPhase Switching Control for Unbalance Mitigation\nCharlie Zhang\, Research Associate\, University of New South Wales [flag country=”au”] \nForecasting and Planning in a Broader Energy Ecosystem\nNicola Falcon\, GM Forecasting\, AEMO [flag country=”au”] \nThe Evolving Transmission-Distribution Interface – Local Flexibility Markets \nHannele Holtinnen\, IEA \n  \nGerard Reiter\nCharlie Zhang\nNicola Falcon\nHannele Holtinnen\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

Far from remaining inflexible and static\, this session will show the many ways new developments are being assessed\, integrated and continuing to develop in recent times across all regions\, especially in South Australia. This session will not only highlight the change that is occurring\, but the technological and market challenges that must be solved sooner rather than later to ensure these high-speed changes continue to occur safely\, sustainably and within reasonable economic boundaries.\n \nFacilitator: Jonathon Dyson\, Managing Director\, Greenview Strategic Consulting [flag country=”au”] \nAEMO’s Renewable Integrations Study: Technical Challenges and Actions to Manage High Levels of Renewable Energy Resources\nChris Davies\, Manager – Future Energy Systems\, AEMO [flag country=”au”] \nTechnical Considerations in the Integration of Distributed Generation\nElizabeth Maina\, Director/Principal\, NODE Energy Services [flag country=”au”] \nImpact of Distributed Energy Resources on the South Australian Transmission System\nHugo Klingenberg\, Senior Manager Network Development\, ElectraNet [flag country=”au”]\n \n  \nJonathon Dyson\nChris Davies\nElizabeth Maina\nHugo Klingenberg\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

This transformation creates unprecedented complexities and new opportunities that resulting new value streams and physical realities especially at interfaces between customer and network as well as transmission and distribution network. This session will share first-hand experiences and state-of-the-art implementations about how the traditional boundaries between transmission\, distribution\, smart meters\, DERs and customers can be bridged to transform the energy value chain.\n\nFacilitator: Steve Heinen\, Manager\, Energy Systems Analytics\, Vector Limited [flag country=”nz”] \nDistribution and New Value Stream Enablement\nBryn Williams\, Future Network Strategy Manager\, SA Power Networks [flag country=”au”] \nParallels Between Distribution and Transmission – Perspective of a Joint Asset Owner\nJacqui Bridge\, Transmission Network Development Manager\, AusNet Services [flag country=”au”] \nDevelopments in the DER Value Chain in the United States\nRic O’Connell\, Founding Executive Director\, GridLab [flag country=”us”] \n  \nSteve Heinen\nBryn Williams\nJacqui Bridge\nRic O’Connell\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
