SUMMARY:Webinar: Overview of the UNIFI Consortium
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ben Kroposki\, PhD\, PE\, FIEEE\, Director of Power Systems Engineering Center\, NREL \nBen Kroposki\nAbout the Webinar: The Universal Interoperability for Grid-forming Inverters (UNIFI) Consortium is a forum to address fundamental challenges in the seamless integration of grid-forming (GFM) technologies into power systems of the future. The objectives of the UNIFI Consortium are to develop and implement a unified approach for integrating inverter-based resources (IBRs) and synchronous machines in power systems at any scale as well as support outreach\, education\, and collaboration to develop alignment amongst researchers\, industry\, utilities\, and policy makers. This talk will discuss the overall goals of the UNIFI Consortium and it plans to develop interoperability guidelines and functional specifications to enable power systems to operate with any mix of machines and IBRs at any scale in an affordable\, secure\, reliable\, sustainable\, and resilient manner. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Ben Kroposki is the Director of the Power Systems Engineering Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) where he leads NREL’s strategic research in the design\, planning and operations of electrical power systems. He has over 30 years of experience in the design\, testing\, and integration of renewable and distributed power systems and has more than 150 publications in these areas with over 8\,700 citations. Dr. Kroposki received his BSEE and MSEE from Virginia Tech and Ph.D. from the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Kroposki is the recipient of the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Ramakumar Family Renewable Energy Excellence Award. This award has been established to recognize outstanding contributions in the field of developing\, utilizing and integrating renewable energy resources in the national and global energy scenarios. As an IEEE Fellow\, Dr. Kroposki was recognized for his leadership in renewable and distributed energy systems integration. Dr. Kroposki is an Adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines and University of Colorado where he teaches courses on integrating renewable energy into power systems. Dr. Kroposki is also serving as the Organizational Director of the UNIF Consortium. \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.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Project EDGE / DER Marketplace Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Nick Regan\, Business Lead – Project EDGE\, AEMO; John Theunissen\, Project EDGE Lead\, AusNet Services; Anoop Nambiar\, Program Manager\, Distributed Energy\, AusNet Services \nNick Regan\nAbout the Webinar: Project EDGE is an innovative\, first of its kind trial demonstrating a proof-of-concept DER Marketplace to inform current and future reforms in line with Australia’s Energy Security Board Post 2025 NEM initiatives. \nThis collaboration between the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, AusNet Services (AusNet) and Mondo (collectively\, the Project Partners)\, with financial support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) seeks to understand\, test\, and demonstrate a proof-of-concept Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Marketplace that enables efficient and secure coordination of aggregated DER to provide wholesale and local network support services within the constraints of the distribution network in a way that promotes the National Electricity Objective (NEO). The primary intent is to identify capabilities that can be replicated at scale across the National Electricity Market (NEM). \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the project\, learnings to date and research questions that aim to answer key questions across industry on the customer needs\, alignment to the National Electricity Objectives\, wholesale integration capability\, local network services requirements\, operation within Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs)\, how to efficiently exchange data at scale\, and the roles and responsibilities of each of the actors within the DER Marketplace. \nJohn Theunissen\nAbout the Speakers: Nick Regan leads Project EDGE\, a practical DER Marketplace demonstration. Project EDGE (Energy Demand and Generation Exchange) aims to develop an evidence base to shape a pathway for DER integration\, at scale\, into Australia’s power systems and markets that has consumers’ best interests at its core. \nNick has held product\, project management and management consulting roles focussed on the decentralisation of Australia’s power system and its economic\, market and commercial implications. Prior to entering the energy industry\, Nick worked in corporate banking deal teams as a credit risk analyst. Nick is passionate about shaping an energy system that operates in the best interests of people and the planet. \nJohn Theunissen leads DER integration initiatives within AusNet Services’ Emerging Markets team and is also the EDGE project lead for AusNet. \nJohn is an electrical engineer who has held numerous technical management roles within AusNet Services and its predecessor companies over the last 25 years\, initially in the protection\, control and communication areas\, and later in leading smart grid and network modernization initiatives. He is passionate about network intelligence\, automation\, distributed energy resources and data science\, especially their ability to shape future energy ecosystems. \nAnoop Nambiar\nAnoop Nambiar is an energy industry management professional with extensive experience in the application of transformative technologies and effective management practices to achieve operational and strategic organisational objectives. With a proven record of building and leading highly effective teams\, he is driven by the satisfaction of solving complex problems through strong teamwork and a shared passion for delivery. \nAnoop has held various roles across the Australian Energy Market Operator\, AGL Energy and Vencorp\, and is currently the Program Manager for DER Market Trials at Mondo (AusNet Services). \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
