SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar: Delivering MCCS - Software and Modular Control Center System of the Future
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\n  \nFeatured Speakers: Mirko Pracht\, Head of Digitalization of System Operations and Product Director\, Asset & System\, 50Hertz; Arya Fazilat\, Advisor for Digitalization of System Operations\, 50Hertz \nWebinar Abstract: By 2032\, 50Hertz (a German TSO) aims to integrate an annual average of 100 percent renewable energies safely into the grid and the system. The digital transformation plays a decisive role in this. For this reason\, 50Hertz is developing a new grid control system for the integration of 100 percent renewables. This “brain of renewable integration” has a name: the Modular Control Centre System (MCCS). \nAbout the Speakers:\nMirko Pracht is Director\, Digitalization in System Operations at 50Hertz (German TSO) and Program Lead and Initiator for MCCS (Modular Control Center System). Mirko and his team are responsible for digitalization strategy and initiatives within System Operations of 50Hertz\, project portfolio and project implementation\, data strategy and architecture and for national and internal cooperation & compliance topics in System Operations. Before that he was Head of Technical IT\, working with his team on maintenance\, operation and development of all operational technology (OT) systems within 50Hertz. \nArya Fazilat is Advisor for Digitalization of System Operations and MCCS Labs. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Principal Consultant\, 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. \n \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Global Update on GFM Projects and Specifications
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\nJulia Matevosyan\nFeatured Speaker: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nWebinar Abstract: As more power systems are reaching very high shares of inverter-based resources (i.e. wind\, solar\, battery storage)\, new resources with advanced capabilities\, termed grid forming (GFM) are becoming increasingly important. As a result\, more system operators are defining performance and testing requirements for GFM IBRs and now projects are being built to these specifications. A year ago a webinar was held comparing existing GFM specifications at the time. The webinar will provide an update based on the latest developments with GFM projects\, specifications (including the most recent drafts from MISO and ENTSO-E)\, as well as remaining challenges in testing and conformity assessment of GFM capabilities. \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 \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar: ENTSO-E Grid Stability Initiatives: How is Grid Stability Ensured in a Changing Power System?
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\nKnut Styve Hornnes\nFeatured Speaker: Knut Styve Hornnes\, Special Adviser\, R&D and Innovation\, Statnett \nAbout the Webinar: With a rapidly evolving power system\, stability challenges have evolved as well. In the European context\, ENTSO-E\, as a network of collaborating TSOs\, tackles these stability challenges at both regional and European scale. This webinar will provide an insight into how European TSOs tackle these stability issues\, what are the modelling and simulation techniques employed\, how is instability analyzed and what are the future research needs. Through case studies and demonstrators\, this presentation will provide both system operation and R&D perspectives on European grid stability initiatives. \nAbout the Speaker: Knut has his education from NTNU in Trondheim\, Norway\, with his Dr.ing degree in Electrical Engineering. He is employed in Statnett\, the Norwegian TSO and has a position as Special Adviser in the R&D and Innovation department. He is also working for RDIC under ENTSO-E in Europe and is convenor of the workstream Stability Management in Power Electronics Dominated Systems under WG2\, Security and Operations of tomorrow. \nModerator: Jason MacDowell\, Chief Systems Integration Officer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Grid Planning for Building Electrification
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\n  \n \nFeatured Speaker: Sean Morash\, Principal\, Telos Energy \nWebinar Abstract: Building electrification is expected to affect all facets of the power system\, and the effects will be pronounced for distribution systems where many pieces of grid edge equipment are already heavily loaded. In many ways\, our thinking about grid planning will need to change as new technologies are adopted that change the fundamentals of load\, and shift stress towards winter. 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 makeup of this demand and that different jurisdictions may experience the impacts in different ways\, there are opportunities to lay a grid planning foundation today that will support a grid that enables widespread building electrification. \nThis webinar will cover the report developed by the ESIG Grid Planning for Building Electrification Task Force over the last year (report & executive summary). It will outline the four priorities for effectively integrating building 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\, energy efficiency\, and opportunities to integrate planning 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 Building Electrification and a similar activity on vehicle 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\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
