SUMMARY:2025 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Members of the ESIG O&M Users Group are invited to attend the 2025 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting at the Wigwam Resort in Scottsdale\, AZ. \nThe meeting will feature a plenary session\, manufacturer-specific roundtables and tech talks. The roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users who share their information\, knowledge and experience. As a reminder\, participation in the roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own\, operate\, or maintain wind generation or solar equipment. \n\n \nWe’ve made a few changes to the schedule!\n\nSplitting Solar into TWO tracks!\nAdding a working session for the revision of the Operating Practices Guidebook\nWe will be alternating our Legacy Roundtables (Vestas Legacy\, Siemens Legacy\, and Gamesa) between the Spring and Fall meetings. If you have any Legacy questions\, make sure to provide them to the Roundtable Chair prior to the conference.\nThere will be no Blades Roundtable this Fall 2025\, because we will be hosting the Blade Damage Workshop on Monday.\n\n\n2025 Fall Plenary\nCurrent Views on Bolted Joints \nFasten your seatbelts for a riveting conversation on bolted joints during the Fall 2025 O&M Plenary session! From the foundation to the blades\, wind turbines contain thousands of bolts. We will hear from speakers about typical failure modes\, best practices associated with installation\, maintenance\, and inspection of critical bolted joints\, as well as lessons learned based on their respective experiences. Be sure to join us for an informative discussion on what really holds wind turbines together. \n \n\n\n\n \n \n  \n\nPre-Meeting Workshop: Fifth Annual ESIG/EPRI Blade Damage Workshop\nThe goal of the Blade Damage Workshop is to facilitate discussions across organizations for the sake of: \n\nimproving the industry’s ability to respond optimally to blade damage or defects\nimproving our collective understanding of emergent issues\nenhancing the dissemination of experiential knowledge of blade asset management strategy\n\nThe Blade Damage Workshop requires separate registration (see button below). Registration is FREE. The workshop will be held on Monday\, September 22nd at The Wigwam Resort. \n \n\n \nThe host hotel for the fall meeting is the Wigwam Resort. The special ESIG room rate is $239/night. The deadline to make your reservation is September 1\, 2025. \nPlease Note: We have a limited amount of rooms available at the government per diem rate. If you need a room at this rate\, please contact Brooke Brown at brooke@esig.energy to make arrangements.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Generic Modeling of Grid-Forming Inverters: Phasor-Domain and EMT Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Wei Du Presentation (Part 1) \nDownload Deepak Ramasubramanian Presentation (Part 2) \n\n \nFeatured Speakers: Deepak Ramasubramanian\, Principal Technical Leader\, EPRI; Wei Du\, Solar Subsector Engineer and Staff Research Engineer\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)\n \nWebinar Abstract: This presentation will highlight recent progress in phasor-domain and electromagnetic transient (EMT) modeling of grid-forming inverters (GFMs). It will first introduce the latest WECC standard library phasor-domain GFM models (REGFM_A1\, REGFM_B1\, REGFM_C1\, and REPCGFM_C1)\, developed in collaboration with major GFM original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and software vendors. These models have either already been integrated into or are in the process of being integrated into leading commercial stability simulation tools\, including Siemens PSS®E\, GE PSLF\, PowerWorld Simulator\, Powertech Labs TSAT\, and DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Key control functions described in these models will be discussed. Second\, the presentation will cover the development of generic EMT models of grid forming technologies\, along with behavior in both positive sequence and negative sequence. Subsequently\, a discussion on parameterization of generic models against blackbox OEM models would be delivered. \nAbout the Speakers: Deepak Ramasubramanian is currently a Principal Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). His work at EPRI includes development of new and improved mathematical models and processes\, for the large electric power system\, to represent the behavior of inverter interfaced generation sources\, and loads\, and evaluation and development of transmission planning criteria including uncertainty of sources and loads. \nDr. Wei Du is the solar subsector manager and a staff research engineer at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). He also holds a joint appointment as a Research Associate Professor at Washington State University (WSU) and serves as the interim co-director of the PNNL-WSU Advanced Grid Institute. His primary research areas include control design\, modeling\, and simulation of power systems with a high penetration of power electronics. Dr. Du is currently the Principal Investigator of multiple DOE projects that investigate the impacts of inverter-based resources on the stability of power systems. He also co-leads the Modeling and Simulation Area of the Universal Interoperability for Grid-Forming Inverters (UNIFI) Consortium. \nIn recent years\, he leads the development of WECC standard library grid-forming inverter models in close collaboration with inverter manufacturers\, software vendors\, EPRI\, and transmission planners and operators. These models have been integrated into leading commercial power system stability simulation tools for both industry and academic use. \nModerator: Dustin Howard\, Technical Director – Energy Consulting\, GE Vernova Consulting Services; ESIG Reliability Working Group Chair \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
