SUMMARY:Webinar: IBR and Data Center Integration: Updates from 2024 and Predictions for 2025
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Ryan Quint\, Founder & CEO\, Elevate Energy Consulting; Kyle Thomas\, Vice President of Engineering and Compliance Services\, Elevate Energy Consulting; Farhad Yahyaie\, Head of Power System Studies and Modeling \nWebinar Abstract: Over the past decade\, industry has learned a tremendous amount about inverter-based resource (IBR) integration. This led to the publication of dozens of large-scale disturbance reports\, guidelines\, and subsequent regulatory action. FERC made sweeping reforms to the generator interconnection process and directed NERC as the regulator to make registration and Reliability Standards revisions to address systemic IBR challenges. These activities ramped up in 2024 with the introduction of three new NERC Standards – PRC-028\, PRC-029\, and PRC-030. And NERC is gearing up to tackle FERC Order No. 901 Milestone 3 projects pertaining to IBR data sharing\, modeling\, and model validation in 2025. Meanwhile\, industry is grappling with the adoption of IEEE 2800-2022 and bolstering IBR modeling/studies and trying to get a handle on grid forming (GFM) technology. What does this all mean for industry efforts in the area of IBR integration looking forward? \nAnd we cannot help but pose the question: Are we heading down the same path of issues with large load and data center integration as we had with IBRs over the past decade? What can we learn from these initiatives as we prepare for massive data center integration in the years ahead? \nThis webinar will aim to share insights and perspectives regarding IBR and data center Integration focus areas\, looking towards what may be coming in 2025 and beyond. \nAbout the Speakers:\nRyan Quint is the Founder and CEO of Elevate Energy Consulting where he and a team of industry experts help the electricity sector tackle complex challenges related to the energy transition\, grid transformation\, renewables and large load integration\, and other areas. He lives in Spokane\, WA\, with his family and wishes he was a cowboy. \nKyle Thomas is Vice President of Engineering and Compliance Services at Elevate and leads all broad-reaching engineering and compliance activities. His key focuses involve building cross-sector collaboration related to IBR integration and large load integration efforts\, working closely with utilities\, developers. He’s a Virginian through and through and loves long walks on the beach. \nFarhad Yahyaie is Head of Power System Studies and Modeling at Elevate and leads power system modeling initiatives at Elevate. His team is focused on a wide range of IBR-related integration studies\, model development and validation\, automation\, and other complex study projects. Farhad and his family recently welcomed a new family member\, and he has successfully learned how to work with only one eye open as a father of two under three. \nModerator: Alex Shattuck\, Director of Grid Transformation\, 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:Large Loads Task Force: Kick-off Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownloading Q&A Responses \n\nLarge electrical loads\, such as AI and other data centers\, hydrogen production facilities\, and EV fleet charging centers\, may present new challenges for the electric power industry. Utility planners face difficulties in forecasting demand\, transmission planners struggle to build infrastructure at the required pace\, and system operators must address grid stability risks caused by large loads disconnecting during faults. Meanwhile\, large load developers grapple with slow and complex interconnection processes\, stringent reliability requirements\, and limited access to wholesale markets and real-time pricing. \nTo address these challenges\, the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG) is launching a Large Loads Task Force (LLTF) to unite stakeholders\, identify practical solutions\, and develop harmonized practices that ensure reliable and efficient grid integration while supporting industry growth. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Meta are helping to fund this effort. \nThe LLTF will kick off with a webinar on December 17th\, which will outline the scope\, format\, and deliverables of the task force\, as well as introduce the leadership team. \nThe event agenda covers the focus areas of ESIG’s LLTF eight specialized project teams (see more detail on each project team here): \n\nOpening remarks and background for this TF – Sam Morris\, ERCOT\nData collection and load forecasting topic – Julietta Giraldez\, EPE\nInterconnection process – Kyle Thomas\, Elevate Energy Consulting\nInterconnection requirements – Ahmed Rashwan\, EPE\nModeling requirements – Parag Mitra\, EPRI\nMarket aspects – Erik Ela\, EPRI\nTransmission planning – James Okullo\, ESIG\nResource Adequacy aspects – Derek Stenclik\, Telos Energy\nESIG LLTF Logistics and Q&A – facilitated by Julia Matevosyan\, ESIG\n\nNEXT STEPS:\nIf you are interested in participating\, please complete the survey and select the key area(s) most relevant to your expertise and interests. Detailed descriptions of skills and expertise sought for each project team can be found here. \n**Note** Participation in ESIG Task Forces is limited to ESIG members.\nHowever\, all final reports will be publicly available on the ESIG website and disseminated through workshops and webinars. All current members can be found here. All employees of member organizations are eligible to participate in member activities. \nIf you’re interested in becoming a member of ESIG\, reach out to ryan@esig.energy for more information.
