SUMMARY:Webinar: New Frontiers: IBR and Data Center Modeling Requirements\, Practices\, and Experience
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\n \nFeatured Speakers: Ryan Quint\, PhD\, PE\, President and CEO\, Elevate Energy Consulting\, President and Chief Engineer\, GridStrong; Kasun Samarasekera\, Head of Power System Studies & Modeling\, Elevate Energy Consulting\n \nAbout the Webinar: The dynamic modeling space is faced with two rapidly evolving frontiers: inverter-based resources (IBRs) and data centers. This presentation will review ongoing IBR modeling activities and updates including the evolving NERC standards from Order 901 efforts\, new IBR modeling requirements across industry\, ongoing IEEE 2800-2022 adoption efforts\, grid forming modeling considerations\, IBR ride-through maximization and modeling impacts\, experience working with OEM models across various technologies and vintages\, etc. The presentation will also cover data center modeling and study efforts related to site design and technology evaluations\, co-located solutions\, and other PSCAD studies. \nAbout the Speakers: Ryan Quint is the Founder and CEO of Elevate Energy Consulting and the President and Chief Engineer of GridStrong. Ryan is responsible for the strategic direction and execution of Elevate projects as well as the engineering activities related to GridStrong software development. Prior to launching Elevate\, Ryan was the Director of Engineering at NERC where he led numerous strategic initiatives focused on emerging reliability risk mitigations. Ryan started his career at the Bonneville Power Administration and also worked at Dominion Energy\, with a background in transmission planning and grid dynamics. He received his PhD from Virginia Tech\, is a registered Professional Engineer\, and was the recipient of the 2024 IEEE Power and Energy Society Outstanding Young Engineer of the Year Award. \nKasun Samarasekera has extensive experience developing models and tuning control algorithms for a wide range of inverter-based resources such as wind\, solar\, and energy storage as well as experience supporting data center integration projects. He played a key role in developing one of the world’s largest dynamic equivalent AC systems on a 20-rack RTDS system. Kasun has in-depth knowledge navigating the renewable energy interconnection processes in North America performing Model Quality Tests\, benchmarking\, material modification\, statewide injection\, and insulation coordination studies. Kasun is proficient using multiple simulation tools including PSCAD\, RTDS/RSCAD\, PSS®E\, TARA\, and DSATools\, and is spearheading novel automation efforts at Elevate to streamline\, expedite\, and add new value to Elevate’s industry partners. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Associate Director and Chief Engineer\, 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Large Load Forecasting Practices
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\n \nFeatured Speakers: John Wilson\, Vice President\, Grid Strategies and Sophie Meyer\, Director of Power Systems\, Grid Strategies\n \nAbout the Webinar: Electricity load growth in the United States is forecast to grow at a rate of 3-5% per year over the next five years. Forecasts indicate that data centers are driving the largest share of this growth. But are large load forecasting practices accurate and useful for transmission and power supply planning? This webinar will review the Large Load Task Force’s first published report\, on large load forecasting practices. This report includes a major new survey of the large load forecasting practices in use across dozens of utilities\, regions\, and other load forecasting authorities in North America. We will also discuss options for load forecasts to improve forecast accuracy with available data as well as suggesting how new information resources and forecasting practices could be developed. \nAbout the Speakers: John D. Wilson is Vice President at Grid Strategies. John specializes in planning\, rate\, and other utility regulation issues\, often related to decarbonization. John is the lead author of three reports which present a national overview of trends in load growth and challenges to forecasting and responding to those trends. The 2023 report was titled The Era of Flat Power Demand is Over and a new report will be published in early November\, 2025. Other topics John has worked on include all-source procurement\, which was the topic of a 2020 report\, Making the Most of the Power Plant Market: Best Practices for All-Source Electric Generation Procurement\, which he co-authored in 2020 with former Colorado PUC Chairman Ron Lehr and two others. With 18 years of experience in utility regulation\, John consults for consumer advocates\, state commissions\, trade associations\, and advocacy organizations. \nSophie Meyer is the Director of Power Systems at Grid Strategies. She specializes in power system planning topics\, including load growth forecasting methodologies\, and provides expertise and analysis across a range of utility regulation issues. Before joining Grid Strategies\, Sophie worked for Form Energy\, a long-duration energy storage company\, as their Policy Advisor for the U.S. West\, and on interconnection\, reliability\, and smart grid issues for the California Public Utilities Commission. \nModerator: Trieu Mai\, Visiting Fellow\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
