SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Open Source Tools for System Operators
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speakers: Juha Kiviluoma\, Principal Scientist\, VTT Technical Research Center of Finland; Clayton Barrows\, Senior Researcher and Group Manager\, NREL \nJuha Kiviluoma\nAbout the Webinar: System operators are interested and involved in the development and application of open-source tools\, which is a focus of the G-PST Pillar 5 work. But what are the steps that are required before open-source tools can become adopted by professionals in the field? What would motivate system operators to use open-source tools? What existing examples are there and what initiatives are ongoing that can facilitate the journey towards professional-grade open source tools? These and other questions will be explored in this webinar. \nAbout the Speakers: Juha Kiviluoma is currently a Principal Scientist in Design and Operation of Energy Systems research node at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. He has a PhD degree from engineering physics at Aalto University. He has participated in the development of several energy system models and tools including WILMAR\, Backbone\, IRENA FlexTool\, SpineOpt\, Spine Toolbox and Predicer. Juha’s main research interest is in modelling energy systems with qualifications in data management\, problem formulation\, model formulation\, generation planning\, unit commitment and dispatch\, power system reserves\, market design\, capacity adequacy\, and energy resources. \nClayton Barrows\nClayton Barrows is the Group Manager of the Grid Operations Planning Group in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center at NREL. His research interests include power system modeling\, complex system optimization\, network science and modeling software design. He received his B.S.\, Electrical Engineering\, from the University of Wyoming\, and his Ph.D.\, Energy and Mineral Engineering\, from Penn State University. \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:Webinar: Modeling Inverter-Based Resources: Findings\, Observations\, and Challenges Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ryan Quint\, Director\, Engineering and Security Integration\, NERC \nRyan Quint\nAbout the Webinar: The industry relies on accurate and validated models that match reality in order to plan\, design\, and operate the bulk power system. When models do not match reality\, this introduces potential risk for the grid being operated in a unknown and unprepared operating state. When the vast majority of models are deemed inaccurate or insufficient to identify abnormal performance from well over a dozen plants across multiple hundreds of miles\, we should all be quite concerned that we are headed towards a very bad day. This presentation will discuss the current state of affairs and why industry needs to start doing something and not just admiring the problem. Industry is mired in academic arguments in this area that serve little to no value to industry practitioners who do the real work to keep the lights on. This presentation is a plea for industry to step up and correct widespread modeling errors that exist today. \nThis presentation will discuss key findings from analyzing widespread solar PV and wind events across multiple interconnections\, particularly focused on plant dynamic modeling\, model quality\, and modeling practices. It will discuss the observations that NERC has made regarding modeling challenges facing the industry with respect to inverter-based resources connected to the bulk power system. Topics will focus on modeling challenges during the interconnection process\, during plant commissioning\, and limited performance validation (and model validation) that may lead to these issues. The presentation will wrap up with a discussion regarding next steps for industry and some of NERC’s plans for risk mitigation in this area.\n \nAbout the Speaker: Ryan Quint is the Director of Engineering and Security Integration at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. He leads a number of NERC’s efforts related to grid transformation including initiatives focused on inverter-based resources\, distributed energy resources\, integrating security with conventional engineering practices\, and emerging technologies. Ryan has been with NERC for over 7 years\, and has industry experience at Dominion Virginia Power and the Bonneville Power Administration. He received his PhD from Virginia Tech and is a registered professional engineer. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
