SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Weak Grid Connection of IBR\, Why Are We Still Talking About This?
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nWeak Grid Connection of IBR\, Why Are We Still Talking About This? \nWednesday\, November 10 – 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. (eastern US) \nFeatured Speaker: Sebastian Achilles\, Managing Director Power Systems Operation and Planning\, GE Energy Consulting \nWebinar Abstract: Operation of Inverter Based Resources (IBR) in weak grid conditions is a relatively old subject that does not seem to go away. The webinar will begin with a short introduction on the types of performance issues associated with weak grid and related mitigations used in the industry. We will then elaborate on how the weak grid operation challenges have changed in recent years due to the large deployment of IBR\, and aspects of grid code requirements that affect the risk of weak grid related issues in the lifetime of IBR plants. The speaker will also share observations on study\, modeling and short circuit ratio (SCR) screening aspects based on recent experiences\, with a focus on what seems to be changing from prior practices. The discussion will elaborate on grid following (GFL) and grid forming (GFM) IBR resources in the context of weak grids\, and why GFM may help\, but not necessarily solve\, all weak grid risks. The talk will be presented from an OEM perspective. \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. \nAbout the Speaker: Sebastian Achilles is Managing Director\, Power Systems Operation and Planning at GE Energy Consulting. His responsibilities include integration and interconnection of onshore wind\, offshore wind\, PV solar\, battery and FACTS technologies globally. His team provides support to product design related to grid behavior of these IBRs. Team also provides consulting support to developers and transmission entities related to same area of expertise. \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/.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Redefining Resource Adequacy
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Derek Stenclik\, Founding Partner\, Telos Energy \nAbout the Webinar: This webinar will serve as a follow-up to the ESIG whitepaper\, “Resource Adequacy for Modern Power Systems” released in August. It will expand on the principles outlined in the report by further elaborating on recommendations for improved resource adequacy metrics and future options for the planning reserve margin. The webinar will explore ways to leverage the outputs of resource adequacy analysis to better characterize system risk\, make informed investment decisions to improve reliability\, and improve the long-term planning process. \nAbout the Speaker: Derek Stenclik is a founding partner of Telos Energy\, an analytics and consulting firm specializing in renewable integration\, system planning\, and grid modeling. Prior to founding Telos Energy\, Derek spent eight years in GE Power’s Energy Consulting department as the Senior Manager of Power System Strategy. He holds an M.S. degree in Applied Economics and Management from Cornell University and a B.A. in International Relations from the State University of New York\, College at Geneseo. Derek is a lifelong native of Upstate New York and currently resides in the town of Niskayuna with his wife and two sons. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Research Agenda for Transformed Power Systems
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Mark O’Malley\, Chief Scientist\, ESIG and Julian Leslie\,  Head of Networks and Chief Engineer – National Grid Electricity System Operator \nMark O’Malley\nAbout the Webinar: As the power system generation mix transitions\, advances in the operation and planning of the power system are required to continue to meet its primary objectives. To meet this need\, select system operators on the cutting edge of this transition have collaborated with technical institutions around the world to create the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Consortium (https://globalpst.org/). The Consortium has the objective of supporting advanced system operator cutting-edge research and development activities and supporting all system operators globally with knowledge and training as they transform their power systems. \nFollowing an extensive and rigorous process\, the G-PST defined a common inaugural research agenda to advance the operations and planning of power systems to enable the transition. The purpose of this webinar is to describe the research agenda\, which seeks to include all possible advances\, from fundamental to applied research\, driving solutions which are expected (but not assumed) to be globally applicable to all system operators. The initial research agenda focuses on near-term issues (i.e.\, next decade) and includes all technical aspects of operational and planning activities within the bulk power system. These advances will vary from system to system and will range from simple modifications of existing technologies and practices to fundamentally new and better ways to plan and/or operate the power systems of the future. \nJulian Leslie\nAbout the Speakers: Mark O’Malley is the Chief Scientist of the Energy Systems Integration Group having recently completed a three-year assignment as Chief Scientist\, Energy Systems Integration at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, USA. At NREL he co-led the establishment of the Global Power System Transformation Consortium and is the co-chair of the Research Agenda Group. He is a Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering\, a member of the Royal Irish Academy\, the Professor of Electrical Engineering at UCD and a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London. \nJulian Leslie is a chartered engineer with three decades of transmission system operation\, planning and investment experience. Julian’s role is to prepare Great Britain’s electricity network for net zero operation\, defining future network needs so that market and network owners can invest in the right technology solutions at the right time. He is also responsible for transmission system connections\, ensuring that access – both connection and maintenance – is safe\, secure and straightforward and keeps consumers’ costs to a minimum. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
