SUMMARY:Webinar: Advancing Distribution System Planning for a Changing Grid
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speakers: Jesse Fallick\, Vice President at Integral Analytics; Jeremy Laundergan\, Senior Director of Distribution Technology and Planning\, Energy and Environmental Economics\, Inc. (E3); Sean Morash\, Principal at PowerGEM; Cody Davis\, Associate Technical Director of Grid Modernization\, Electric Power Engineers (EPE) \n\n\n\nModerator: Debbie Lew\, Executive Director\, ESIG \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar: As utilities face accelerating electrification\, distributed energy resource (DER) growth\, and evolving reliability and affordability challenges\, regulators and stakeholders are demanding greater transparency\, rigor\, and engagement in distribution system planning. Integrated Distribution System Planning (IDSP) and Distribution Resource Planning (DRP) have emerged as key frameworks to meet these expectations\, but in many cases\, current filings and processes are falling short of what regulators and stakeholders are seeking. \n\n\n\nThis ESIG webinar will bring together perspectives from leading practitioners to explore how IDSP can better deliver on its promise. Panelists will include Cody Davis (EPE)\, Sean Morash (PowerGEM)\, Jeremy Laundergan (E3)\, and Jesse Fallick (Integral Analytics). \n\n\n\nThe discussion will begin by examining the growing expectations from regulators and stakeholders for more transparent\, actionable\, and decision-relevant distribution planning. Panelists will highlight the key questions regulators are asking\, including how IDSP can inform investment decisions\, and support more coordinated planning across distribution\, generation\, transmission\, and customer programs. \n\n\n\nThe panel will then assess where current IDSP and DRP efforts are succeeding and falling short\, drawing on real-world experience across multiple jurisdictions. Topics will include gaps in transparency\, limitations in modeling approaches\, challenges in stakeholder engagement\, and misalignment between planning outputs and regulatory decision-making needs. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will conclude with practical recommendations for utilities and regulators to advance more effective IDSP and DRP processes. Panelists will share lessons learned and best practices for improving analytical rigor\, stakeholder engagement\, and the integration of planning processes\, ultimately supporting more cost-effective\, reliable\, and equitable grid outcomes. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers:  Jesse Fallick is Vice President at Integral Analytics\, where he leads initiatives focused on utility planning\, forecasting\, and grid modernization. He has more than 15 years of experience spanning energy analytics\, product management\, and software solutions for utilities. Prior to Integral Analytics\, Jesse held leadership roles at Recurve and Lime Energy. He holds an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and a B.S. from Cornell University \n\n\n\nJeremy Laundergan is Senior Director of Distribution Technology and Planning at Energy and Environmental Economics\, Inc. (E3). Jeremy has worked in the utility industry for over 20 years with experience helping utilities update and optimize their distribution systems and integrate distributed energy resources. His expertise includes grid modernization – use case development\, systems architecture\, business case planning\, operational systems integration\, distributed energy resource management\, and demand side management programs such as flexible load – along with distribution planning and implementation oversight. \n\n\n\nSean Morash is a Principal at PowerGEM with experience across a range of topics\, including power system modeling\, transmission and distribution planning\, and technology integration. He coordinated the ESIG Task Forces on Grid Planning for Building and Vehicle Electrification. He has led and contributed to projects combining the traditional disciplines of economics\, engineering\, technology\, and policy\, ranging from multi-stage nodal production cost modeling to grid modernization strategies. This experience across a range of topics provides a unique perspective for overcoming the practical challenges associated with integrating utility practices. \n\n\n\nCody Davis is an Associate Technical Director of Grid Modernization at Electric Power Engineers. He works with a variety of utilities and stakeholders on intersectional topics with planning\, operations\, and regulatory components including Flexible Interconnection and Locational Value of DER.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Limiting the Impact of AI Data Centers on Fatigue Life of Thermal Turbine Generators in the Grid
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speakers: Sai Gopal Vennelaganti\, Manager\, Global Power Systems Lead\, Tesla and Nilanjan Ray Chaudhuri\, Full Professor with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Penn State \n\n\n\nGreg Mandelman\n\n\n\nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Associate Director\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar: In this webinar\, first the speakers will propose a framework to assess the impact of variations in artificial intelligence (AI) data center (DC) loads on the fatigue damage of steam/gas turbines of the synchronous generators (SGs) from torsional oscillations. Next\, a simple three-step process that is supported by frequency-domain analysis will be laid out to quantify the limits on fluctuations in AI DC loads. In the first step\, the maximum allowable variation in electrical power output at each SG terminal is independently determined from the first principles. This step needs only a lumped multi-mass model of the mechanical side of the SG. In the second step\, the speakers propose a new approach that relies on load flow to determine the so-called algebraic ‘interaction factor’ that maps the change in AI DC load at a given bus to the corresponding change in each of the SG power outputs. In the third step\, the speakers propose a method to determine the allowable fluctuations when multiple AI DC loads are present in the system. After the optimal limits on fluctuations are established\, the speakers will describe mitigation options that can satisfy the established limits. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: Sai Gopal Vennelaganti serves as the Manager\, Global Power Systems Lead at Tesla. In this role\, he directs the technical strategy for power system modeling\, industry engagement\, and product development. His team is responsible for model development\, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and resolving complex interconnection issues for utility-scale storage and data centers.

He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University\, where he received the Dr. Nirmal K. Bose Dissertation Excellence Award.  \n\n\n\nNilanjan Ray Chaudhuri received the Ph.D. degree in power systems from Imperial College London\, London\, U.K. in 2011. From 2005 to 2007\, he was with General Electric (GE) John F. Welch Technology Center. From 2011 to 2014\, he was a Lead Engineer with GE Global Research Center\, Niskayuna\, NY\, USA. From 2014 to 2016\, he was an Assistant Professor with North Dakota State University\, Fargo\, ND\, USA.

Presenters will be asked to cover a similar set of topics to ensure they cover interconnection process milestones\, study methods and assumptions\, pre-interconnection and study tools and automations\, etc. \n\n\n\nNovember 17\, 2026: Industry Advisor Perspectives and Other Topics \n\n\n\n\nIndustry Advisors – Grid Strategies\, Brattle\n\n\n\nOther pertinent topics that come up\, as needed\n\n\n\n\nregister for nov 17 i2x stitch meeting
