SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: STATCOM Strategy and Application in East Germany
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nSTATCOM Strategy and Application in East Germany\nWednesday\, July 14 – 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. (eastern US)\nFeatured Speakers:\nCornelius Heck\, Team Leader for Stability Analysis and Large Projects in Strategic Grid Planning\, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH\nDr. Florian Sass\, Electrical Engineer for Operational Concepts\, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH\nRoman Hinz\, Asset Management\, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH \nCornelius Heck\nWebinar Abstract: With the political decision to phase out all coal\, lignite and nuclear power plants within the next 10-15 years\, Germany faces a massive disruption in generation technology. So far the mentioned conventional power plants provide the majority of non-frequency ancillary services. This webinar will give an overview of the challenges posed upon the East-German Transmission System. Also it will present the current strategy to overcome said challenges with special regards to voltage regulation and inertia provided by grid-forming STATCOM. Hereby the webinar will take you on a journey from current system operation experience\, over strategic grid-planning need identification to asset specification. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \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. \nDr. Florian Sass\nAbout the Speakers:\nCornelius Heck joined 50Hertz Transmission GmbH in 2016 as part of the medium term planning team in the system operation. In 2013 and 2015\, he received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from BTU Cottbus University\, respectively. In 2020 he assumed the position as team leader for the large projects and stability analysis team in the grid development department. This team manly focusses on the system planning of HVDC and offshore connections and assesses the influence of increasing injection from inverter based sources. \nDr. Florian Sass received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering at HS Mannheim and his M.Sc. in Electrical Power and Control Engineering at Technische Universität Ilmenau in 2015. In the same year he joined the power system group as a research fellow. He received his PhD on the topic of curative measures in hybrid AC-HVDC-Systems in 2019. After that\, he joined the system operation department of 50Hertz Transmisson GmbH as a member of the team for technical concepts. He is the expert for HVDC\, FACTS and voltage control processes. \nRoman Hinz\nRoman Hinz received his diploma as industrial engineer for electrical engineering in 2011 at the “Otto von Guericke University of Magdeburg” with the thesis of overlay grids and HVDC control schemes. From 2011 to 2014 he was supporting the TSO TenneT as technical consultant (Fichtner) for the offshore HVDC project DolWin1. Afterwards he worked for ALSTOM / GE Grid as Service Engineer from 2014 to 2018 in the offshore HVDC project DolWin3 where he gained site experience and received in 2018 the position as senior site manager and HVDC operator during commissioning. Since 2019 he joined 50Hertz Transmission GmbH as asset manager for HVDC and FACTS. At this position he is responsible for the current STATCOM tender package incl. its specification. \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout G-PST Consortium \nThe chief executive officers of National Grid Electricity System Operator UK\, California Independent System Operator (CAISO)\, Australia Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, Ireland’s System Operator (EirGrid)\, and Denmark’s System Operator (Energinet) are champions in developing the consortium mission and activities. Importantly\, these system operators are leading a Research Agenda Group to identify common\, cutting-edge research questions that can inform large- scale national research and development investments. Relevant results and lessons from this process will be broadly shared for learning across all countries. The Consortium is also partnering with around 10 emerging economy and developing country system operators from Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Eastern Europe who will also guide the G-PST vision and collaborate with the Consortium to advance power system transformation with a focus on technical collaboration\, peer learning and exchange\, and workforce development to support local PST priorities. \nA core team\, including the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG)\, Imperial College London\, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)\, Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence for Integrated Energy Systems\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE)\, IEEE\, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)\, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)\, the Danish Technical University (DTU)\, and ASEAN Center for Energy\, is actively developing the consortium and will be engaged in implementation of technical work as well as coordinating specific pillars. \nInternational agencies and multilateral and regional development banks\, including World Bank\, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)\, German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)\, International Energy Agency (IEA)\, Asian Development Bank (ADB)\, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and others are serving as key implementing partners to ensure the consortium complements and reinforces existing programs. \n For more information on the G-PST visit https://globalpst.org/. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Electrification and Industrial Sources of System Balancing Flexibility
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Niall Mac Dowell\, Professor\, Energy Systems Engineering\, Imperial College London \nAbout the Webinar: Following the terms of the Paris Agreement\, an increasing number of countries worldwide are adopting legally binding “net zero” targets\, i.e.\, a requirement to reduce emissions of CO2 to net zero by approximately 2050. While precise dates vary (Finland is aiming at 2035\, the EU is aiming at 2050\, and China is targeting 2060)\, all are challenging targets. Across the board\, the ambitious deployment of renewable energy resources\, alongside initiatives towards the electrification of mobility\, heating\, and the industrial sector\, are core elements of the “net zero strategy.” As this increases the integration of the broader energy system\, resilience of the grid becomes increasingly important. Core to ensuring grid resilience is the ability of supply and demand to interact flexibly\, potentially through energy storage\, and demand side response\, among other options. These ideas\, and more are explored in this webinar. \nAbout the Speaker: Niall Mac Dowell is a Professor in Energy Systems Engineering at Imperial College London. He is a Chartered Engineer\, a Fellow of both the IChemE and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His research is focused on understanding the transition to a low carbon economy. Since receiving his PhD 2010\, he has published more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers at the molecular\, unit operation\, integrated process\, and system scales in this context. A full list of publications can be found here and he currently serves on the Advisory Board of Joule. \nNiall has more than a decade’s experience as a consultant to the public and private sectors. He has worked with a range of private sector energy companies\, and has provided evidence to members of the Select Committee on Energy and Climate Change and has given advice to DECC/BEIS\, the UK’s National Infrastructure Commission\, the IEA\, the IEAGHG the ETI and the JRC. Niall is a member of Total’s Scientific Advisory Board\, was also a member of the US National Petroleum Council (NPC) CCUS Roadmap Team. Niall has been a member of the technical working group of the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP)\, the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA) and from 2015 – 2019 served as the Secretary of the IChemE’s Energy Centre. \nFinally\, Niall was awarded the Qatar Petroleum Prize for his PhD research in 2010 and the IChemE’s Nicklin and Junior Moulton medals for his work on low carbon energy in 2015 and 2021\, respectively. \nModerator: Aidan Tuohy\, Program Manager\, EPRI \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
