SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Operational Experience with Battery Energy Storage in ERCOT
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Nitika Mago\, Manager\, Balancing Operations Planning\, ERCOT \n \nAbout the Webinar: As of February 28\, 2023\, ERCOT has integrated about 3\,014 MW of battery energy storage resource (includes standalone and co-located\, transmission connected\, and distribution connected) capacity on its grid. ERCOT is projecting to add an additional 4\,028 MW by end of 2023. These battery energy storage resources are actively participating both in ERCOT’s Ancillary Service and energy markets. Since late 2019\, ERCOT has developed several Market rules and implemented system changes to support integration of duration limited battery energy storage resources within its footprint and continue reliable grid operations. During the same time ERCOT has also brought about changes to the design of its Ancillary Services (aka “operational reserves”) program including creating a new Fast Frequency Response (FFR) product that can help improve frequency response and widen ERCOT’s operating range for inertia. This webinar will provide an overview of ERCOT’s experience (including challenges) with battery energy storage operations\, share strategies including tools\, procedures\, and approaches that have been incorporated or are in the process of being implemented to improve ERCOT’s monitoring and modeling of battery energy storage capability (“state of charge”). \nAbout the Speaker: Nitika Mago is currently the Manager for Balancing Operations Planning in the Operations Forecasting and Ancillary Services Planning department at ERCOT. Nitika has spent the last 15 years in the energy industry. Her areas of focus at ERCOT include power system grid operations\, grid balancing and frequency control\, inverter-based resource integration and energy forecasting\, ancillary services\, event analysis\, data analytics and modeling. Nitika received a BSEE degree from University of Mumbai in 2005 and MSEE degree from University of Texas at Austin in 2007. She is a registered Professional Engineer in Texas since 2011. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, 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: Stability Enhancement of Utility-scale Renewable Energy Plants in Weak Grids
DESCRIPTION:  \nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Behrooz Bahrani\, Senior Lecturer and the Director of the Grid Innovation Hub\, Monash University \nBehrooz Bahrani\nAbout the Webinar: Australia’s power system is undergoing a significant transformation with the retirement of thermal generation and the rapid growth of renewable inverter-based resources (IBRs). This shift has led to system strength-related challenges in several regions of the Australian power system\, which are expected to intensify in the future. To enable the widespread deployment of renewable energy resources\, particularly in weak parts of the network\, the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) funded a two-year research project at Monash University in 2020. This webinar provides an overview of the project’s findings and developed solutions\, with a specific focus on grid-following and grid-forming inverter control strategies and synchronous condensers. The solutions aim to address the challenges of integrating IBRs into the power system and enable a smoother transition towards a cleaner energy future for Australia. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Behrooz Bahrani received the Ph.D. degree from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\, Lausanne\, Switzerland\, in electrical power engineering\, in 2012. From 2012 to 2015\, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at several institutions including EPFL\, Purdue University\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, and the Technical University of Munich. Since 2015\, he has been with Monash University\, Australia\, where currently\, he is a Senior Lecturer and the Director of the Grid Innovation Hub. His research interests include control of power electronics systems\, applications of power electronics in power systems\, and grid integration of renewable energy resources. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Use of Probabilistic Resource Adequacy Methods
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Aidan Tuohy\, Senior Program Manager\, EPRI; Genevieve de Mijolla\,  Engineer/Scientist III\, EPRI; Eamonn Lannoye\, Senior Program Manager\, EPRI Europe \n \n \n \nAbout the Webinar: Resource adequacy methods\, metrics and tools have been challenged by recent events across the world. As the economy decarbonizes and electrifies\, ensuring a reliable and resilient power system is of paramount importance\, and several aspects of resource adequacy have been identified as a gap to be addressed by several organizations\, including G-PST and others. This includes the metrics and criteria used\, how planners develop and assess future scenarios\, models and data for representing new and emerging resources and issues\, and the software tools themselves. In mid-2021\, EPRI started the Resource Adequacy for a Decarbonized Future Initiative\, aiming to address these challenges. This project\, scheduled to be completed in the coming months\, is a collaboration between EPRI\, a large number of utilities and ISOs and several other key industry stakeholders. Leveraging six case studies across North America\, outcomes will include recommendations and guidelines for the metrics and models used to assess adequacy\, tools to develop scenarios and analyze simulation outputs\, and case study results showing the changing nature of risk the system will be exposed to. \nDuring this webcast\, the EPRI team will present on results to date\, reflect on key lessons learned and identify future work in this space needed to ensure a reliable power system. Starting with a general overview of the research carried out\, deep dives on 3-4 topics of most relevance will provide further insight into how we can maintain or even improve reliability as the power system decarbonizes. This includes aspects like modeling of weather dependence in thermal and renewable resources\, understanding how different metrics and analysis shed light on the risks being faced\, modeling of demand side resources and a survey of existing and under-development software tools used to assess adequacy.\n \nAbout the Speakers: Aidan Tuohy is a Senior Program Manager at EPRI\, where he is the program manager for the research program on Bulk System Integration of Variable and Distributed Energy Resources. He has worked in resource adequacy\, flexibility assessment\, power system scheduling\, integration of renewable generation forecasting\, the value of new flexible resources such as demand response and energy storage\, and other renewable and DER integration issues. He chairs ESIG’s working group on Operating Impacts and Market Design\, while he is also involved in NERC\, IEEE\, IEC and CIGRE activities. \nGenevieve de Mijolla joined EPRI in April 2021 where she primarily focuses on resource adequacy in low-carbon systems. Previously\, she spent five years working for GE Energy Consulting\, primarily in production cost modeling. She holds a master’s in electrical engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. \nEamonn Lannoye is a Senior Program Manager with EPRI Europe where he works in the areas of grid operations and planning. He is co-lead of EPRI’s Resource Adequacy for a Decarbonised Future project and has worked in the area of adequacy for over 10 years. He is based in Dublin\, Ireland. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nWe will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
