SUMMARY:2020 Fall Operations and Maintenance Users Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:To download presentations from this session\, please log-in to our members area here. \n\nThe 2020 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting will be held online via WebEx\, throughout the months of October\, November and December. Below you will find the full schedule of sessions\, along with corresponding registration links for each. \nIf you have any questions\, please let us know at info@esig.energy. \n\nPlenary Session\nSmart Lifting: A Discussion on the Latest in Safety & Crane Operations\nOctober 28 – 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. (eastern)\nOpening Remarks: Bjorn Hedges\, NAES \nSafety Moment: Kevin Denis\, Gravitec \nPlenary Moderator: Matt Malkin\, DNV GL \nPlenary Session Speakers: Sam Cates\, Barnhart Crane & Rigging;  Steve Lange\, EDP Renewables; Kent Thornqvist\, RWE \nTopics scheduled to be covered during the Plenary Session include: \n\n\n\nStrategies around crane usage\, including minimizing the actions that are costly.\nCraneless blade lifts.\nThe latest crane technology.\n\n\n\nRegistration is open to all O&M Users Group members\, ESIG members\, and invited individuals. \nREGISTER HERE\n\nRoundtable Sessions\nThe heart of the meeting consists of manufacturer-specific roundtables for users group members only. The format consists of open discussions\, moderated by Roundtable Chairpersons\, centered on a specific wind turbine\, solar\, or energy storage model and component. The Roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users\, who share their information\, knowledge and experience. \nParticipation in the Roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own\, operate\, or maintain wind generation equipment. \nBelow you’ll find a list of the roundtable sessions currently scheduled.

SUMMARY:Reliability Working Group Fall Session
DESCRIPTION:The Reliability Working Group will hold an online session on Thursday\, November 19\, 4:00 – 5:00 pm (eastern US). The focus of the session will be on the working group’s High Share of Inverter-Based Generation Task Force. \nThe objective of the task force is to develop an understanding of the options for stable operation of future power systems with a very high share of inverter-based generation like wind\, solar and storage\, while also working to build a consensus with research organizations\, OEMs and system operators on a roadmap for making the transition from the power system of today to a future one dominated by inverter-based generation. \nSince the last meeting in Spring 2020\, several members of the task force have developed an outline for an ESIG white paper on Power System Needs with High Share of Inverter-Based Resources with a focus on Grid Forming Inverter Technology. The purpose of the paper is to discuss system needs\, grid forming technology and control methods\, international projects where grid forming technology have already been applied and experience with requirements/market products incentivizing grid forming capability\, and future needs for grid forming resources. During the meeting the outline will be discussed and finalized and work will be assigned. As a part of the discussion\, Andrew Isaacs from Electranix will provide a brief update on recent developments with grid forming inverters in Hawaii. \nAdditionally\, a new subject for discussion will be proposed regarding integrated planning. It is increasingly difficult to define the most stressful system conditions to plan for with more IBRs on the grid\, considering dispatch impact on frequency and regulation\, commitment impact on inertia\, system strength and control stability\, etc. New models and methods are greatly needed\, and utilities also need to consider new practices and technologies. An initial discussion of these topics will take place during the session and continue until the next session in Spring 2021. \nReliability Working Group Chair: Jason MacDowell\, GE Power   \nHigh Share of Inverter-Based Generation Task Force\nTask Force Chair: Julia Matevosyan\, ERCOT\nTask Force Co-chair: Fred Huang\, ERCOT
