SUMMARY:Joint Webinar: IEEE 2800-2022 Update: New IEEE Interconnection Standard for Large-Scale Solar\, Wind\, and Energy Storage
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nRegister to View Webinar-on-Demand \n\nThis joint webinar for subject matter experts and academia doing research on large-scale solar\, wind\, and energy storage plants will provide an update on the IEEE 2800™-2022\, Standard for Interconnection and Interoperability of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) Interconnecting with Associated Transmission and Sub-Transmission Electric Power Systems\, which is anticipated to publish by the end of April. The technical minimum requirements specified in 2800 for the interconnection of large-scale\, transmission- and sub-transmission-connected inverter-based resources are important elements in the North American and international framework to maintain the reliability of the bulk power system with increasing amounts of IBRs\, including those radially connected via VSC-HVDC facilities to the grid. \nThis webinar aims to review the purpose and scope of the published standard along with selected final requirements; and to provide leading examples for IEEE 2800 adoption by RTOs/ISOs\, followed by time for Q&A. \nPresented by: IEEE–ESIG–PSERC–CURENT

SUMMARY:Webinar: Multi-value Transmission Planning for a Decarbonized Future
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Derek Stenclik\, Founding Partner\, Telos Energy; Ryan Deyoe\, Power Markets Specialist\, Telos Energy \nDerek Stenclik\nAbout the Webinar: Underlying any renewable energy or decarbonization goal should be a robust transmission planning framework. This webinar will present the results\, findings\, and recommendations from ESIG’s Transmission Benefits Task Force. The recently conducted study and forthcoming report will provide valuable insights on multi-value frameworks for transmission planning\, a key component of the recent FERC NOPR. The task force conducted a transmission planning exercise for ERCOT\, evaluating benefits of increasing the West Texas Export transfer capability as well as interregional transmission upgrades to neighboring systems. Using the ERCOT system as an illustrative case study\, the webinar will explore how to quantify production cost\, emissions\, renewable enablement\, risk mitigation\, resource adequacy\, and resilience benefits to better evaluate new transmission projects. \nAbout the Speakers: 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. \nRyan Deyoe\nRyan Deyoe is a Power Markets Analyst at Telos Energy and has experience in fundamental power market modeling. At Telos Energy he has worked on projects ranging from transmission planning\, clean electricity planning and has aided stakeholders IRP involvement. Prior to joining Telos Energy\, he worked for PA Consulting in their Energy and Utilities practice where he led their ERCOT modeling effort. There he worked to develop generation supply forecasts building on existing ERCOT conditions out to 2040. He analyzed economic new entry of generation units onto the ERCOT grid under varying market conditions in both the energy only market and regarding ERCOT scarcity pricing. \nModerator: Debbie Lew\, Associate Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: EMT Modeling and Simulation – Who Needs an EMT Model for Doing Stability Studies?
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Babak Badrzadeh\, Technical Director\, Power Systems\, Aurecon \n \nAbout the Webinar: Power systems around the world are transitioning to significantly higher shares of inverter-based resources (IBR) with few synchronous generators remaining online. IBR and synchronous generators have fundamentally different dynamic performance characteristics. System dynamics and technical needs are therefore vastly different between synchronous and IBR dominated power systems\, and these differences will become greater as IBR uptake increases in the power system. Several practical experiences exist where conventional power system stability analysis tools\, referred to as phasor-domain transients\, have been unable to predict these phenomena due to the simplifications inherent to these tools. \nMore detailed whole-system modelling based on electromagnetic transient (EMT) models has been increasingly used in recent times in particular in countries/regions with higher IBR penetration to address the problems discussed above. This will facilitate accurate long-term power system planning allowing the resolution of new and emerging phenomena before they manifest in real power system operation. It will also permit a more accurate albeit more involved assessment of the impact of connecting new IBRs such as battery energy storage systems\, hydrogen electrolyser\, solar and wind generation on power system planning and operation. This detailed modelling will also facilitate better understanding of the performance of emerging technologies such as grid-forming inverters and how best they can be designed to meet emerging power system needs and technical requirements in power systems with significantly higher IBR penetration. \nThis webinar focuses on why\, when\, where and who questions as far as wide-area EMT modelling is concerned. A brief discussion on the how question will also be presented.\n \nAbout the Speaker: Babak Badrzadeh holds BSc\, MSc and PhD all in the area of electrical power systems. Prior to joining Aurecon in March 2021\, he was with AEMO as the Manager of Operational Analysis and Engineering team. He is currently the Technical Director\, Power Systems with Aurecon\, and an Adjunct Professor with Monash University. His focus area is power system modelling and analysis\, including the impact of grid-connected and distributed inverter-based resources from operational\, connections and planning perspectives. He has played a key role in the worldwide establishment of wide-area electromagnetic transient (EMT) modelling\, and the overarching area of system strength. Babak is currently the Convener of CIGRE Working Groups B4.83\, C2.26 and C4.56\, a member of CIGRE SC C2 Strategic Advisory Committee. In January 2021 Babak was appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES). He is also a recipient of 2019 ESIG Engineering excellence award. In March 2021 Babak was appointed as the chief editor of CIGRE Green Book on ‘’Power system dynamic modelling and analysis in evolving networks’’. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Special Topic Webinar: Interconnection Study Criteria
DESCRIPTION:Download J. Rand Presentation \nDownload J. Pfeifenberger Presentation \nDownload K. Chilukuri & A. Vander Vorst Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nAbout the Webinar: ESIG and LBNL are jointly launching a webinar series on reform of generator interconnection processes in the bulk power system. This builds on the Generator Interconnection panel session from ESIG’s Spring Workshop in March and LBNL’s body of research on interconnection queues across the US. Participants will discuss: 1) the proposed creation of a new ESIG/LBNL joint effort on generator interconnection\, and 2) study criteria used by U.S. independent system operators in evaluating new generator additions. Attendees will have an opportunity to voice their opinion on topics that this joint effort should explore and learn about differences in interconnection study criteria between the U.S. Independent System Operators. The panel will conclude with a discussion of the implications of interconnection study criteria on network upgrades and system planning. \n  \nJoe Rand\nAaron Bloom\nKalyan Chilukuri\nJohannes Pfeifenberger\nAaron Vander Vorst\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFeatured Speakers: Joe Rand\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Aaron Bloom\, NextEra Analytics; Kalyan Chilukuri\, Electric Power Engineers; Johannes Pfeifenberger\, The Brattle Group; Aaron Vander Vorst\, Enel Green Power \nAbout the Speakers: Joe Rand is a Senior Scientific Engineering Associate in the Electricity Markets and Policy Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
