SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: European Experience with “Connect and Manage”
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Mark Norton\, Vice President of Business Development\, Smart Wires \nMark Norton\nAbout the Webinar: In the drive towards a targeted decarbonized power system by 2050\, it is critical that the growth and speed of connections for renewable generating energy sources keeps pace to make this a reality. However\, developers of renewable resources often face long lead times before they can freely offer (firm access) their power into energy markets\, awaiting not only new network developments to connect the renewable generating sources\, but also wider reinforcement of network capacity to transmit this energy. In Europe\, “Connect and Manage” has become an approach used by some system operators\, where firm access is offered before all associated reinforcement works are completed. \nThis webinar will address “Connect and Manage” principles\, the experience from the common approaches being applied\, and the risks\, tools and outcomes from these. It will conclude based on these experiences the learning and best practice approaches to be used in future by system operators and policy makers. \nAbout the Speaker: Mark Norton is the Vice President of Business Development at Smart Wires Inc. Mark has worked in the international electrical utility industry for 35 years both in the transmission and distribution sectors. \nIn his current role\, he is working with some of United States and Europe’s largest utilities helping them solve their biggest business challenges\, through collaborative projects using Smart Wires Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs). \nIn his career\, Mark has worked for both EirGrid\, the Irish Transmission System Operator\, and before UKPN\, the largest Distribution System Operator in the UK. He managed the develop of the Irish Grid Development Strategy\, Grid Code\, and investment decisions for network development projects with five-yearly capital budget of over €1bn. \nMark is also the Vice-Chair for the currENT association in Europe\, and an active member of the WATT Coalition\, and the European Commission’s\, European Technology Innovation Program for Smart Networks for Energy Transition. He has previously chaired the European association of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E) team developing the European wide ten-year network development plan for over €110bn investments\, and the development of three EU Regulations on connection requirements for demand\, generation and HVDC infrastructure. \nMark holds a 1st class hons degree in electrical and electronic engineering from the now Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and has completed the IESE Business school’s bespoke Management Development program for TSOs. \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: DER Communication and Data Management: From Interoperability to Impacts
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speakers: Sean Morash\, Principal\, Telos Energy and Aaron Snyder\, Director of Grid Technology Consulting\, EnerNex \nAbout the Webinar: With increasing emphasis on electrification\, continued technology innovation\, and changes to federal policy\, distributed energy resources are becoming more integral in power system planning and operations. However\, the variety of DER control mechanisms can lead to a maze of data streams that can quickly fall out of sync without appropriate care for end-to-end interoperability and data management. Standards can be used to minimize proprietary implementations of technology solutions\, and extract operational and planning insights from available data across T&D processes. \nSean Morash\nThis webinar will address DER interoperability and data management\, increasing standardization of DER information\, and outline the modeling and operational benefits of such an approach. It will include a discussion of how a cohesive data architecture supports both FERC 2222 implementation and asset management. \nAbout the Speakers: Sean Morash is a Principal at Telos Energy with experience across a range of topics\, including power system modeling\, transmission and distribution planning\, and technology integration. For the last 10 years\, he has worked on projects that combine the traditional disciplines of economics\, engineering\, technology\, and policy. While at Telos\, Sean has performed detailed production modeling to assess grid enhancing technologies\, assessed load flexibility opportunities on future island power systems\, and has coordinated ESIG’s Task Forces on Grid Planning for Vehicle and Building Electrification. Prior to joining Telos Energy\, he worked for EnerNex in their Smart Grid Engineering team. While there\, he worked on a variety of smart grid roadmap projects across the US and internationally for both utilities and commissions. These projects typically included considerations for layering sensing and measurement\, distribution automation\, and advanced analytics capabilities onto the existing grid infrastructure amid the transition to clean energy. \nAaron Snyder\nAaron Snyder is the Director of Grid Technology Consulting at EnerNex\, Aaron works with many utility and vendor clients on metering\, AMI\, Smart Grid\, and Grid Modernization projects\, specializing in testing\, metering\, and consumer issues. In recent years he has been driving Grid Modernization projects (AMI\, DA\, microgrids\, ADMS) in the USA\, West Africa\, North Africa\, and the Middle East. His technical contributions include grid modernization strategy development\, grid and infrastructure architecture\, requirements\, specification authoring\, vendor interviews\, procurement support (bidder evaluations)\, pre-deployment support\, and pilot programs. He is a member of the GridWise Architecture Council and participates in standards development activities at national and international levels. He is a Senior Member of IEEE. \nModerator: Jason MacDowell\, Chief Systems Integration Officer\, ESIG & GE Vernova’s Consulting Services \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
