SUMMARY:Webinar: System-Level Impacts of Voluntary Carbon-Free Electricity Procurement Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Jesse Jenkins\, Assistant Professor & Wilson Ricks\, PhD Candidate\, Princeton University \nAbout the Webinar: Voluntary procurements of carbon-free electricity are a popular avenue for corporate climate action\, yet there is little available information regarding their impact on carbon emissions at the level of the entire electricity system. In this study we address this knowledge gap by using an electricity system capacity expansion planning model to assess the consequential\, system-level impacts of voluntary carbon-free electricity procurements under multiple proposed strategies. These strategies include “volumetric matching\,” which matches a participating consumer’s demand with new\, locally sourced carbon-free generation on an annual basis\, “temporal matching\,” which does so on an hourly basis\, and “emissions matching\,” which uses voluntary procurements to eliminate a consumer’s emissions impact as measured via short-run marginal emissions accounting. We find that in the current U.S. policy environment\, both volumetric and emissions matching strategies have zero or near-zero long-run impact on system-level generation mixes or carbon emissions. By contrast\, temporal matching drives significant reductions in system-level emissions and incentivizes procurement of advanced clean firm generation and long-duration storage technologies that would not otherwise see market uptake. Electricity cost premiums for voluntary participants are near-zero under volumetric and emissions matching strategies and can exceed $20/MWh under temporal matching\, but are reduced when a larger portfolio of advanced technologies is available for procurement. These outcomes are sensitive to changes in policy: while volumetric matching has near-zero impact under current federal and state policies\, it is the most cost-effective means of incremental carbon mitigation in a scenario with a binding system-wide clean electricity standard. \nJesse Jenkins\nAbout the Speakers: Jesse D.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Overview of Grid Forming Interconnection Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \n \nAbout the Webinar: With grid forming controls being considered as one of the solutions for the reliable integration of inverter-based resources (wind\, solar\, storage)\, there is a need to define interconnection requirements (or grid codes) and performance expectations for this technology. Around the world there are a handful of entities that have begun working on grid codes for grid forming technology\, including National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) in Great Britain\, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, ENTSO-E and Fingrid. The U.S. DOE-funded project UNIFI has published the first version of their proposed specifications and North American Reliability Corporation (NERC) has also developed a white paper detailing grid forming capabilities and how a utility or a system operator wanting to deploy this technology should test for grid forming capabilities through simulations. ERCOT recently presented the results of a preliminary study investigating the impacts and benefits of grid forming battery storage resources in West Texas with the development of interconnection requirements for grid forming battery storage being introduced as the next step. This webinar will cover capabilities sought from grid forming inverter-based resources by the system operators and compare various existing or proposed requirements and testing specifications. \nAbout the Speaker: Julia Matevosyan is ESIG’s Chief Engineer and has more than 20 years of experience in the power industry. Prior to joining ESIG\, Matevosyan was the Lead Planning Engineer of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). In her time with ERCOT\, she worked on adequacy of system inertial response\, system flexibility\, frequency control and performance issues related to high penetration levels of inverter-based generation and ancillary services market design. Julia received her BSc from Riga Technical University in Latvia\, and her MSc and PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden. \nModerator: Jason MacDowell\, Chief Systems Integration Officer\, ESIG & GE Energy Consulting \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
