SUMMARY:2021 Fall Operations and Maintenance Users Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting will be held online during October and November. Below you will find the schedule of sessions\, along with corresponding registration links for each. As we add additional roundtable sessions they will be included below. \nIf you have any questions\, please let us know at info@esig.energy. \n\nFall Plenary Session\n“Hot and Cold” – Renewable Plant Operations in Extreme Weather Conditions\nWednesday\, November 17 – 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. (eastern US)\nAdditional details\, including a list of speakers for this session will be announced soon. Register below! \nREGISTER \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. These online sessions are scheduled to last two and a half hours.  \n\n\n\nSiemens – Monday\, October 25 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Matt Brzezinski\, Pattern Energy; Dushyant Tank\, Pattern Energy\nGE 2x – Wednesday\, October 27 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Eric Eggleston\, ConEdison; Susan Owens\, Patriot Renewables; Matt Conwell\, Invenergy\nGamesa – Friday\, October 29 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Lindsay Galbraith\, Patriot Renewables; Josh Alvarado\, CMI Energia\nSolar – Monday\, November 1 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Anthony Morabito\, DTE Energy; Chris McNalley\, Consumers Energy; Dylan Sontag\, Silicon Ranch\nBalance of Plant – Tuesday\, November 2 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Matt Allsup\, Innergex; Matt Kessel\, RWE Renewables; Todd Montevideo\, Madison Gas and Electric Company\nVestas V100+ – Wednesday\, November 3 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Chris Hogg\, Xcel Energy; Eric Robinson\, Consumers Energy\nVestas V82/Legacy – Monday\, November 8 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Derek Mayon\, BP; Ryan Verrier\, Liberty Power\nGE 1x – Wednesday\, November 10 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Chris McNalley\, Consumers Energy; Marcus Schriner\, DTE Energy\nClipper – Monday\, November 15 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Dan Jones\, Minnesota Power; Wes Slaymaker\, WES Engineering\nMitsubishi – Tuesday\, November 16 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chair: William Whitney\, Leeward Energy\nSuzlon– Tuesday\, November 23 (1:30 – 4:00 p.m. eastern) REGISTER\nRoundtable Co-chairs: Mike Brown\, Clearway Energy; Mike Dionne\, Patriot Renewables\n\n\n\nAs we schedule additional roundtables\, those details will be distributed and posted on Groups.io.

SUMMARY:Reliability Working Group Fall 2021 Session
DESCRIPTION:The Reliability Working Group will hold an online session on Wednesday\, November 17\, 3:00 – 5:00 pm (eastern US). The focus of the session will be reviewing the draft of the whitepaper on Power System Needs with High Share of Inverter Based Resources and Grid Forming Inverter Technology\, that is being developed by the working group’s High Share of Inverter-Based Generation Task Force. The purpose of the paper is to discuss system needs\, grid forming technology and control methods\, share international projects where grid forming technology has been applied\, share experience with requirements/market products incentivizing grid forming capability and to identify future needs for grid forming resources. \nUlrich Muenz\nAdditionally Ulrich Muenz\, Siemens\, will present on the following topic: \nDynamic Security Optimization for N-1 Secure Operation of Hawai`i Island’s Power Systems with 100% Inverter-based Resources \nReliable power system operation with 100% inverter-based renewable generation is an unsolved and challenging problem. The main reason is that today’s power systems require that at least 25% of the load is supplied by synchronous generators at any time\, e.g. gas turbines\, steam turbines\, or diesel generators\, as documented in studies for Hawaii and Ireland. One of the most challenging factors for achieving reliable N-1 secure operation with 100% inverter based renewable generation is dynamic security\, i.e.\, power system stability after N-1 contingencies. This road block for high renewable generation can be overcome using Dynamic Security Optimization (DSO) technology for tuning controller parameters of generation units in order to improve the dynamic security of the power system. In this presentation\, we provide an overview of the developed technology as well as first results from our U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E funded project with Hawaiian Electric’s\, Hawai`i Island Service Territory (HECO) as well as our partners Pacific Northwestern National Laboratory and OPAL-RT. \nDynamic Security Optimization continuously adapts the local controllers of both conventional and renewable generators to increase power oscillation damping and ensure power system reliability as the generation mix changes. This will be demonstrated in the course of our project in a real-time simulation of Hawai`i Island’s power system. Compared to many alternative solutions for power oscillations damping\, the Dynamic Security Optimization solution does not require real-time communication and is brownfield-ready because it builds on existing controller structures and does not require a fundamental change of the control architecture. \nThe objective of the High Share of Inverter-Based Generation 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\, and a roadmap for making the transition from the power system of today to a future one dominated by inverter-based generation\, working with research organizations\, OEMs\, and system operators to build a consensus. \nReliability Working Group Chair: Jason MacDowell\, GE Power \nHigh Share of Inverter-Based Generation Task Force\nTask Force Chair: Julia Matevosyan\, ERCOT \nJason MacDowell\nJulia Matevosyan\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nRegistration: Please note registration is only open to current members of ESIG.
