SUMMARY:Webinar: End-Use Electrification as a Source of System Flexibility
DESCRIPTION:Download Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Caitlin Murphy\, Senior Energy Analyst\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) \nCaitlin Murphy is a Senior Energy Analyst within the Economics and Forecasting Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Her primary research involves evaluating how technology innovation\, end-use electrification\, and energy policies could impact the evolution and operation of the U.S. energy system through quantitative analysis methods. \nCaitlin Murphy\nIn addition\, a growing portion of her portfolio is dedicated to resilience analysis\, which is focused on measuring the impact and value of resilience investments from the perspective of utilities and grid operators\, end-users\, and government entities. Prior to joining NREL\, Caitlin served as AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow within the Federal government\, where she developed legislation to accelerate the deployment of advanced energy storage\, renewable energy\, and energy efficiency technologies\, and contributed to multiple Federal strategy documents\, including the DOE’s second installment of the Quadrennial Energy Review and the U.S. Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization. Caitlin received her B.S. in Earth Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007\, and her Ph.D. in Geophysics from the California Institute of Technology in 2012. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, ESIG Executive Director \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A. Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link. \nWebinar Abstract: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Electrification Futures Study (EFS) was designed to explore scenarios and impacts of widespread electrification in the United States. Previously published analyses under the EFS explored the potential transformation that could occur within the buildings\, transportation\, and industrial sectors if mass adoption of end-use electric technologies occurs for some of the highest energy-consuming services. The resulting projected changes in the magnitude\, timing\, and flexibility of electricity demand serves as the foundation for the analysis that will be presented in this seminar\, which explores (a) how the U.S. electricity system might transform in response to changes in demand from an electrified economy\, and (b) what role demand-side flexibility might play to support reliable grid operations under highly electrified scenarios. Preliminary answers to these questions will be presented based on scenario analysis using NREL’s Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) capacity expansion model\, which was used to quantify the range of electricity generation\, storage\, and transmission capacity deployment that could be required to meet changing electricity demand from highly electrified end-use sectors. We also explore the system cost impacts of electrification across the energy system\, with a detailed treatment of the potential operational value of demand-side flexibility within the context of widespread electrification. Finally\, our preliminary estimates for the emissions and energy consumption implications of electrification will also be presented.

SUMMARY:Webinar: System Black Start with DER
DESCRIPTION:Download Webinar Recording & Presentation \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Pete Chandler\, Project Lead\, Distributed ReStart\, National Grid ESO \n \nPete has worked for National Grid system operations for 27 years and is currently leading the Distributed ReStart NIC project. He is accountable for all aspects of the project including reporting of workstream outcomes and deliverables to the regulator and stakeholders and managing the project funding of £11.7m. \nPete has held many roles at National Grid including post event review\, operational planning\, emergency planning including black start\, business continuity management and control room operations. \nHe was an Electricity National Control Centre Operational Manager for over 10 years. He currently holds an authorization as Power System Manager\, responsible for real-time electricity balancing and management of Great Britain’s power system. \nPete has worked with a wide network of stakeholders from across the electricity supply industry including government\, regulator\, international stakeholders\, DNOs and generators. He sits on the government’s E3C Electricity Task Group and was part of the E3C team investigating the low frequency event on 9 August 2019. \nPete has successfully delivered several high-profile projects including the legal separation of the ESO from the wider National Grid business\, industry winter preparedness plans for security of supply\, new black start services\, and drafting the Emergency & Restoration European network code. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, ESIG Executive Director \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A. Please submit your questions and follow-along during the event at this link. \nWebinar Abstract: Black start is the procedure used to restore power in the event of a severe disturbance resulting in the loss of power to a large region of the electric system. The National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) of Great Britain (GB) has undertaken a new project called Distributed ReStart which will demonstrate a world-first black start service through the coordinated operation of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). \nThe Distributed ReStart project\, a three year effort\, has reached its halfway point. Removing the dependence on large fossil fuel generators for black start will help reduce costs and achieve a net zero carbon grid in GB by 2025. It will also make possible the UK government’s net zero carbon target for 2050. Flexible demand companies and DERs would benefit from revenue for the provision of black start services. \nThe webinar will provide an overview and status report on the Distributed ReStart project\, including an understanding of: \n\nInsights gained from power system studies performed using models of case study networks and distributed energy resources\nTechnical capability\, challenges and generic issues for a wider rollout in Great Britain\nSystems needing additional functionality\nProcess used to develop a proposal for a resilient system\, including telecommunications\nContractual requirements based on the proposed technical solutions\nDevelopment concepts being explored to form contractual agreements across Great Britain.\n\nProject partners include a collaboration of National Grid ESO\, Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) and specialist energy consultancy TNEI.
