SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar: Market Products for System Stability
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Edward Farley\, Senior Market Development Lead\, National Grid ESO \n \nAbout the Webinar: Stability services are vital for the safe and secure operation of the electricity network. Traditionally our stability requirements (inertia and short circuit level) in Great Britain have been provided by synchronous generation as a natural by-product of creating electricity. As more non-synchronous assets connect to the network\, which do not have this inherent capability\, the ESO needs alternative sources of stability. Since 2019\, the Stability Pathfinders have procured for long-term stability requirements\, but there remains a reliance on the dispatch of synchronous generation in the Balancing Mechanism to ensure stability on short-term timescales. While current Balancing Mechanism arrangements ensure security\, they do not provide long-term assurance and can often represent expensive actions. The development of a broader stability market offers a route to access stability services through an open\, transparent\, and competitive market specific to stability services. In 2021 ESO launched the Stability Market Design innovation project to explore the design for an enduring stability market with a focus on value for consumers. As a result of this work\, in eSO’s April 2023 Markets Roadmap\, they set out their aim to procure stability services across three timescales\, starting immediately with a mid-term (Y-1) stability market in 2023. The first mid-term (Y-1) market is currently in progress\, aiming to competitively procure inertia services for delivery from 2025. This presentation will shed some light on this journey\, the operability challenges ESO has faced\, and how they are planning to combat them in the present and future through new market design. \nAbout the Speaker: Edward Farley is a Senior Market Development Lead in the Markets department at ESO\, the Great Britain system operator. He joined the ESO in 2021 after previous experience working for NPower – one of the traditional ‘Big 6’ energy suppliers in Great Britain – including working on the demand side response team within the Business Solutions division. At ESO\, Ed has worked on the project looking to reform  reserve products\, and is currently focused on designing brand-new\, world-leading stability markets to help address the falling stability levels as Great Britain transitions to a zero carbon electricity system. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Accelerating and Scaling Up GETs
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Erik Ela\, Technical Executive and Program Manager\, EPRI; Justin Bell\, Principal Technical Leader\, EPRI; Anna Lafoyiannis\, Technical Leader\, EPRI \nAbout the Webinar: There is a renewed interest in technologies to improve the utilization and efficiency of transmission networks with strong support from DOE and FERC. GETs are Grid-Enhancing Technologies which are hardware and/or software that increase the capacity\, efficiency\, reliability\, or safety of existing transmission lines. GETs may reduce congestion costs\, improve integration of renewables\, increase capacity\, and provide grid service applications. If you are curious about what the buzz is and what they might do for your organization\, attend this webinar! EPRI will introduce the types of GETs\, focusing especially on dynamic line ratings\, followed by the integration considerations\, markets and incentives to scale these technologies. \nAbout the Speakers:\nErik Ela is a Technical Executive and Program Manager at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). In his role\, he provides technical leadership in several areas including electricity market design and operations\, renewable energy and emerging technology integration\, bulk power system operations\, frequency control and essential reliability services\, and generation planning. At EPRI\, Dr. Ela facilitates the R&D collaborative group of technical experts of North America’s Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and EPRI’s utility and ISO/RTO focused Market Operations and Market Design Advisory Group to discuss research needs in technical areas facing the industry. He leads innovative projects on how utilities and ISOs can operate the power system more efficiently and reliably. Prior to joining EPRI in 2014\, Dr. Ela worked for several years with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) as a senior research engineer and before that for the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO). He has been involved in several working groups as a senior member of the IEEE Power and Energy Society\, CIGRE\, NERC\, and ESIG\, including as the chair of the IEEE Power System Economics Subcommittee\, chair of ESIG’s system operations and market design working group\, associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems\, and part of NYISO’s Environmental Advisory Council. Dr. Ela received his BS\, MS\, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering.\n \nJustin Bell is a Principal Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). He conducts research in both theoretical and applications areas and has contributed to over one hundred technical reports. His research focuses on increasing transmission capacity and risk management; however\, his work also includes cross cutting topics such as inspection & assessment\, material science\, climatology\, and HVDC. He currently leads EPRI’s research on testing and validation of dynamic line ratings (DLR) and ambient adjusted ratings (AAR). Justin is an active member in standards development with IEEE and CIGRE\, he also regularly collaborates with National Labs\, NATF\, and regional working groups such as the NY-ATWG. Prior to joining EPRI in 2012 Justin was a student at MCLA and UND where he studied particle physics and astrodynamics\, respectively. \nAnna Lafoyiannis is a Technical Leader at EPRI\, where her research focuses on strategic decision-making to support long-range resource and transmission planning. Before joining EPRI\, she was supervisor of reliability assurance at Ontario’s IESO\, where she developed its capacity market and set specifications for long-term contracts. She also held leadership roles at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)\, including a term as chair of NERC’s Reliability Assessment Subcommittee. Anna holds a B.A.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo and M.Eng. in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering\, with an emphasis on Sustainable Energy from the University of Toronto. \nModerator: James Okullo\, Director of System Planning\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: GFM Solutions for Compliance on Plant Levels
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Benjamin Braun\, Principal Engineer\, Fluence Energy \nBen Braun\nAbout the Webinar: Recent updates to the grid codes of key markets enabling grid-forming operation on the public network have opened a multitude of new applications. This in turn has exposed a gap between components level controls and complete code compliant solutions. Historically\, GFM applications have been largely limited to industrial black-start and isolated electrical systems. Such projects have provided countless lessons and improvements\, but to date no component level standards defining GFM controls have been defined. Validation and bench-marking of manufacturer’s and integrator’s GFM capabilities is thus left open for interpretation. For plant level grid code compliance a holistic approach considering DC limitations and dynamics as well as the grid needs at POI rather than only the converter level performance must be considered. This presentation will highlight additional requirements and considerations to provide a complete GFM plant solution with the required plant level integration controls to convert collections of sub-components into plant level solutions compliant with the latest grid codes. \nAbout the Speaker:\nBen Braun is the Principal Engineer for TSO/Ultrastack applications at Fluence where he leads the qualification process of convertor supplier’s grid-forming (GFM) controls and F.OS software integration thereof. Fluence has 2GVA of GFM projects commissioned or under construction. Over the last 10 years he has designed in-house GFM controls applications\, detailed multiple integration studies for grid operators\, developed and deployed Europe’s first BESS to black-start a 110kV distribution grid in Germany\, and led engineering teams to deploy GFM solutions to remote grids all over the globe. He received his BSc from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in the US and his MSc from BTU-Cottbus in Germany.\n \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
