SUMMARY:Webinar: Weather Data Inputs for Power System Modeling: Mind the Gaps
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Justin Sharp\, Principal and Owner\, Sharply Focused \nAbout the Webinar: The electricity system is rapidly transitioning to a system in which most of the generation — wind\, solar\, and hydro — is strongly influenced by weather patterns. Load is also becoming more weather-dependent with the increased electrification of transportation and space heating. And weather powerfully affects energy-limited resources\, such as battery storage\, and behind-the-meter generation\, which are blurring the lines between generation and load and between transmission and distribution. Consequently\, accurate power system analysis requires much more detailed weather data than we needed for a fossil-fuel-dominated system with fairly predictable loads. Power system planning studies today require time series data for key weather variables that are temporally coincident\, have sufficiently high spatial and temporal resolution\, and are robustly validated; however\, no such datasets currently exist. The availability of comprehensive weather datasets\, together with education and coordination between the meteorology and power system communities\, will equip system planners to guide future resource siting and build-out for a reliable\, high renewables grid. \nJustin Sharp\nESIG convened a project team\, led by Dr. Sharp\, to assess the limitations of existing weather data being used in power system analysis and outline a process for producing comprehensive weather datasets that can meet the above needs. This webinar will summarize the key points made in the report\, including what is needed\, why it’s needed\, and current gaps in existing data and modeling methods\, and will detail an approach to building a solid\, long-term solution. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Sharp is the principal and owner of Sharply Focused\, a consultancy dedicated to bridging the atmospheric science and the electric utility sectors\, especially with regard to applying meteorological knowledge to optimize planning and operation of the increasing weather driven system resulting from the energy transition. \nJustin obtained a Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences from the University of Washington\, where his focus was using high-resolution numerical weather prediction to diagnose and forecast regional-scale winds. He has worked in the electric power sector since 2004 and built one of the world’s first 24×7 operational renewable energy forecasting and analysis teams for Iberdrola Renewables. Justin founded Sharply Focused in 2012 and has been helping clients to utilize weather and climate intelligence with a view to enabling and optimizing the energy transition. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: IBR Modeling Through the Lifecycle of a Project – Reliability Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ryan Quint\, Director of Engineering and Security Integration\, NERC \nAbout the Webinar: Grid planners and operators rely on accurate models to conduct simulations that ensure reliable operation of the power grid – across the full spectrum of interconnection studies\, long-term planning assessments\, operational planning studies\, and real-time operations. Ensuring a reliable and resilient grid of the future fundamentally requires us to develop and use accurate models for studying the power system. This presentation will outline key priority areas for IBR modeling that deserve additional attention to help us achieve our modeling accuracy goals. This includes reasonable and accurate modeling throughout the interconnection study process\, ensuring model matches reality during the commissioning process\, and keeping the model up-to-date during the lifecycle of the project. \nRyan Quint\nThe presentation will highlight key considerations from FERC Order Nos. 2023 and 901\, as well as talk about the current status of various NERC Standards development projects in this area. Lastly\, the presentation will touch on key findings from recent disturbance analyses and other assessments conducted by NERC that highlight a need to keep modeling and reliability studies in the forefront a the reliability focus moving forward. Topics include establishing modeling requirements\, model development and quality checks\, updating the model through the interconnection process\, conducting model verification and validation\, and ensuring accurate model and modeling information are shared with transmission entities for use in studies. The presentation will cover both phasor domain and electromagnetic transient (EMT) considerations\, given the evolving nature of reliability studies with the rapidly changing resource mix. \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 coming up on 9 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Evolving Grid Planning Practices for Electric Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Webinar Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Sean Morash\, Principal\, Telos Energy \nAbout the Webinar: Transportation electrification is accelerating and will affect all facets of the power system\, but the effects will be most pronounced for distribution systems where vehicle charging could quickly overwhelm grid edge equipment. An evolution of the grid will be needed to effectively integrate the quantity of expected EVs and there could be large impacts across the system\, not just on EV owners. Because of the timelines associated with building new distribution and transmission infrastructure\, decisions today\, or lack thereof\, will impact the preparedness of the grid for the expected demand. Despite the high uncertainty of the timing and magnitude of this new demand\, there are opportunities to lay a grid planning foundation today that will support a grid that enables widespread vehicle electrification. \nSean Morash\nThis webinar will cover the forthcoming report developed by the ESIG Grid Planning for Vehicle Electrification Task Force over the last year. It will outline the four priorities for effectively integrating vehicle electrification into grid planning. It will cover the practices from across the industry and identify where improvement is needed\, with a primary focus on distribution planning\, forecasting\, smart charging\, and opportunities to supplement existing annual processes. \nAbout the Speaker: 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. He recently coordinated the ESIG Task Force on Grid Planning for Vehicle Electrification and is actively leading a similar task force on building electrification. For the last 10 years\, he has worked on projects that combine the traditional disciplines of economics\, engineering\, technology\, and policy. Beyond the strategy work\, Sean has performed detailed production modeling to inform a balancing authority’s operational reserves practices and developed a novel dynamic line rating forecasting methodology using machine learning techniques. \nModerator: Debbie Lew\, Associate Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
