SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: CIGRE Green Book "Power System Dynamic Modelling and Analysis in Evolving Networks”
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Babak Badrzadeh\, Managing Director\, Etik Energy; Zia Emin\, Technical Executive\, EPRI \nAbout the Webinar: This webinar will provide a summary of all chapters of the CIGRE Green Book on Power System Dynamics Modelling and Analysis in Evolving Networks and then will focus on more detailed presentation of selected topics as follows: \n\nIntroduce the importance of\, and the need for\, revisiting classical power system stability analysis concepts and textbooks.\nDiscuss different classes and sub-classes of power system stability\, with a focus on considerations when performing power system dynamic analysis under high inverter-based resource (IBR) penetration scenarios. Practical experiences of various forms of power system instability are also presented.\nProvide discussion of various dynamic modelling approaches including phasor-domain and electromagnetic transient programs and types of power system dynamic simulation software programs ranging from highly detailed to simplified screening. The use of screening methods and the applications of power system dynamic modelling and other tools for operational decision-making are presented in detail.\nDiscuss different types of models and the necessary level of detail for each to ensure sufficient accuracy whilst respecting practical limitations. Power system components covered include generation technologies such as synchronous machines and IBR\, HVDC systems\, loads and distributed energy resources (DER) and wide-area network modelling including protection systems.\nPresent dynamic studies typically conducted in power systems with a high penetration of power electronic interfaced devices. Grid interconnection studies for IBRs\, HVDC systems\, and FACTS controllers\, and power system dynamic studies for operational and planning applications are presented. These include assessing and mitigating contemporary electromechanical oscillations and emerging electrical oscillations and control interactions. The impact of protective functions on power system dynamic performance\, and studies of industrial power systems and microgrids are also presented.\nFocus on ensuring high-quality\, accurate and up-to-date dynamic models for power system plants and the overall system. This spans model acceptance testing during early stages of plant development\, to model validation where a mature design has been accomplished\, and the plant is already connected and commissioned.\nRecognizing the need to analyze a higher volume of data with higher accuracy and speed for increasingly complex equipment and power system responses\, the last part discusses contemporary enablers for power system dynamic analysis. It first discusses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-based methods and cloud-based computing and then introduces the use of probabilistic analysis and optimization techniques and elaborates on the importance of interoperability and standardization.\n\nAbout the Speakers: Babak Badrzadeh is currently the Managing Director of Etik Energy a consultancy business based in Melbourne\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Effective Congestion Mitigation with Transmission Topology Optimization at Alliant Energy
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Mitchell Myhre\, Senior Manager of Business Planning and Regulatory Strategy\, Alliant Energy; Abubaker Elteriefi\, Manager of Operational Planning\, ITC; Pablo A. Ruiz\, Co-founder and CEO of NewGrid\, Senior Consultant at The Brattle Group\, Associate Research Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University \nWebinar Abstract: Timely and effective management of transmission system limitations has become critical to support the ongoing energy transition as well as economic development. Additional transmission capability is needed quickly to support increased deployment of variable energy resources\, which often are located away from demand centers\, the electrification of traditionally fossil energy uses\, and other load growth\, such as  data centers. \nTransmission congestion can become acute in many regions\, and has imposed over $20 billion of added costs on US transmission customers in 2022. In also impacts grid reliability and resilience throughout the country. To cost-effectively manage transmission constraints will require improved congestion management practices and technologies to better utilize the existing grid\, especially as new transmission facilities are planned and constructed. \nTransmission topology optimization identifies grid reconfiguration options to quickly re-route power flow around bottlenecks\, increasing transfer capability across congested areas. These reconfiguration solutions reduce the market redispatch and generation curtailments otherwise necessary to manage congestion and\, by doing so\, provide operational\, efficiency\, reliability\, and resilience benefits. \nIn collaboration with NewGrid and ITC\, Alliant Energy has been able to advance regionally beneficial and reliable reconfiguration opportunities to mitigate major congestion bottlenecks in the area. Working with the Midcontinent ISO\, ITC and other Transmission Operators in the region to evaluate and leverage these opportunities\, Alliant’s Interstate Power and Light customers have saved close to 50% of their net congestion costs in the last three years\, in addition to avoiding curtailments of renewable resources. This webinar will review the Alliant Energy and ITC experience with the use of topology optimization\, including case studies\, key findings and recommendations. \nAbout the Speakers:\nMitchell Myhre is a Senior Manager of Business Planning and Regulatory Strategy at Alliant Energy focusing on system planning\, resource development and energy policy.  At Alliant Energy he leads a team working to help transform the company’s generation fleet and find ways to better utilize and optimize the use of the transmission system.  Mitchell is involved with many facets of transmission planning and RTO processes including generation interconnection and retirement\, local and regional planning\, and congestion management.  Mitchell holds a Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison related to Energy Analysis and Policy. \nAbubaker Elteriefi is a seasoned Power Systems Engineer with over twenty-five years of experience in transmission system planning\, design\, and operations. As the Manager of Operational Planning at ITC\, his responsibilities include overseeing operational assessments\, identifying potential System Operating Limit (SOL) exceedances\, and developing mitigation plans to ensure system reliability and efficiency.
