SUMMARY:Webinar: Modeling Inverter-Based Resources: Findings\, Observations\, and Challenges Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ryan Quint\, Director\, Engineering and Security Integration\, NERC \nRyan Quint\nAbout the Webinar: The industry relies on accurate and validated models that match reality in order to plan\, design\, and operate the bulk power system. When models do not match reality\, this introduces potential risk for the grid being operated in a unknown and unprepared operating state. When the vast majority of models are deemed inaccurate or insufficient to identify abnormal performance from well over a dozen plants across multiple hundreds of miles\, we should all be quite concerned that we are headed towards a very bad day. This presentation will discuss the current state of affairs and why industry needs to start doing something and not just admiring the problem. Industry is mired in academic arguments in this area that serve little to no value to industry practitioners who do the real work to keep the lights on. This presentation is a plea for industry to step up and correct widespread modeling errors that exist today. \nThis presentation will discuss key findings from analyzing widespread solar PV and wind events across multiple interconnections\, particularly focused on plant dynamic modeling\, model quality\, and modeling practices. It will discuss the observations that NERC has made regarding modeling challenges facing the industry with respect to inverter-based resources connected to the bulk power system. Topics will focus on modeling challenges during the interconnection process\, during plant commissioning\, and limited performance validation (and model validation) that may lead to these issues. The presentation will wrap up with a discussion regarding next steps for industry and some of NERC’s plans for risk mitigation in this area.\n \nAbout the Speaker: Ryan Quint is the Director of Engineering and Security Integration at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. He leads a number of NERC’s efforts related to grid transformation including initiatives focused on inverter-based resources\, distributed energy resources\, integrating security with conventional engineering practices\, and emerging technologies. Ryan has been with NERC for over 7 years\, and has industry experience at Dominion Virginia Power and the Bonneville Power Administration. He received his PhD from Virginia Tech and is a registered professional engineer. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: An Empirical Assessment of Regional and Interregional Transmission Congestion Value
DESCRIPTION:Download D. Millstein Presentation \nDownload J. Pfeifenberger Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Dev Millstein\, Research Scientist\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Johannes (Hannes) Pfeifenberger\, Principal\, The Brattle Group; Michael Goggin\, Vice President\, Grid Strategies \nDev Millstein\nAbout the Webinar: In this webinar we will examine recent trends and characteristics of one important benefit of transmission infrastructure—congestion relief. Specifically\, we examine the marginal value of potential transmission links as indicated by nodal pricing (LMPs) from 2012 through the first half of 2022. We find\, for example\, that many links have hourly average pricing differences in 2021 that exceed $15/MWh—equivalent to $130 million per year for a 1000 MW link. We will examine trends in the transmission value over the past decade. We will explore how extreme conditions and high-value periods play an outsized role in the value of transmission. For example\, we find that 50% of transmission’s congestion value comes from only 5% of hours. These high value transmission hours are only partially attributable to designated extreme weather or grid-stress events identified by NERC\, with the remainder of the high-value hours representing periods that are natural features of actual market operations (possible causes include uncertain generation or other infrastructure outages\, fuel price volatility\, forecast errors\, and electric demand volatility). We will discuss the broad implications of these findings\, key limitations\, and importantly\, the challenge of adequately representing transmission congestion value in transmission planning studies. \nLBNL Report: Regional and Interregional Transmission Have Significant Economic Value | Electricity Markets and Policy Group (lbl.gov) \nHannes Pfeifenberger\nAbout the Speakers: Dev Millstein is a Research Scientist in the Electricity Markets and Policy department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

SUMMARY:Webinar: HECO Plans for Meeting Clean Energy Targets and Role of Grid Forming Inverters
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speakers: Li Yu\, Manager\, Transmission Planning & Ken Aramaki\, Director\, T&D and Interconnection Planning\, Hawaiian Electric Company; \nLi Yu\nAbout the Webinar: Hawaiian Electric has been aggressively pursuing its renewable energy goals. In 2021\, Hawaiian Electric re-affirmed its commitment with a climate change action plan – to reduce carbon emissions by 2030 to 70% below 2005 levels\, and to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. The key to achieving these goals is to displace current synchronous generator resources with renewable utility-scale resources\, as well as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). These new resources will include high-amounts of Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs)\, which fundamentally change the characteristics of the power system. The performance and characteristics of current IBRs (utility and distributed) are not where they need to be for high-IBR\, island grids with limited resources. As these resources continue to evolve in functionality\, Hawaiian Electric will need to continually assess\, adopt\, as well as push for higher levels of performance in order to achieve the Company’s and State’s policy objectives. \nThe presenters will provide an overview of Hawaiian Electric’s current progress\, challenges\, and opportunities seen from a utility planner’s perspective. This webinar will highlight the gaps found in recently completed stability analyses\, which will serve as an early indicator for utilities and vendors in their own pursuit of high-IBR systems. \nKen Aramaki\nAbout the Speakers: Li Yu is manager of transmission planning department in Hawaiian Electric Company\, leading transmission planning team perform long-term and near-team planning studies to support Hawaiian Electric Company completing 100% renewable system transformation. In the past ten years\, he has been working in both transmission and distribution planning\, DER interconnection studies\, both steady state and transient planning modeling and study. He obtained his PhD from Polytechnic Institute of New York University in 2013 and is an active member of IEEE and NERC working groups. \nKen Aramaki is the Director of Transmission\, Distribution\, and Interconnection Planning at Hawaiian Electric. In this role\, he leads a team that plans for the future of the T&D system as increasing levels of renewable inverter-based resources are added to the grid.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Impedance Scan Tools for Stability Analysis of IBR Grids
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Shahil Shah\, Senior Engineer\, NREL \nShahil Shah\nAbout the Webinar: Dynamic stability is a major concern in operating power systems with high levels of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Dynamic stability problems in IBR grids manifest as oscillations or control interactions that are observed either locally between a few IBRs or span a wider network involving tens to hundreds of IBRs. It is quite challenging to evaluate the stability of IBR grids because of fast\, complex\, and non-standardized controls of IBRs as well as unavailability of their open-box models from vendors. This webinar will review impedance-based methods for stability analysis of IBR grids. It will also present a PSCAD-based impedance scan software tool and an impedance measurement system developed at NREL for analyzing the stability of IBR grids. Case studies to demonstrate the capabilities of these tools to answer questions such as “which IBRs are causing oscillations?” or “how much grid-forming capacity is needed in a system?” will be presented. \nAbout the Speaker: Shahil Shah is a senior engineer for grid integration at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden\, CO. He received his Ph.D. degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy\, NY. He has been working for the past 15 years on modeling\, control\, and stability of wind and PV plants\, HVDC transmission systems\, and power systems with high levels of inverter-based resources with specific emphasis on impedance-based methods for analyzing the stability of IBR grids. He is leading several DOE projects at NREL on these topics\, and he has led the development of first of its kind impedance measurement system for utility-scale wind turbines and inverters. He is currently serving as an editor of the IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion\, and he recently received the ESIG Excellence award for leadership in the design and analysis of grid-forming inverter systems. He has been actively contributing to IEEE\, IEA\, ESIG\, and CIGRE working groups focusing on stability of power systems with high levels of inverter-based resources. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Planning and Operating a System in Transition to IBR – Engineers Unite!
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Andrew Isaacs\, Vice President\, Electranix \nAndrew Isaacs\nAbout the Webinar: The transition to renewable energy is underway. This transition can be viewed through many lenses. General population lenses (Climate change is happening. We don’t know what we need to do exactly\, but we’re doing it too slow!)\, Political lenses (How do we satisfy enough of our voters\, how do we take credit for the good changes\, and distance ourselves from the problems?)\, Commercial lenses (how can we profit from the transition?)\, Engineering lenses (How do we do this at all\, considering safety\, reliability\, cost\, and technical limitations?)\, and others. \nThe engineering lens is the one with the least visibility or understanding to the global population. But inside this engineering community\, we have further diverse perspectives and cultures\, including operators\, planners\, system designers\, protection\, construction folks\, and others. Power systems engineers have historically also tended to fall on either side of an imaginary line of demarcation between transmission and distribution. Although these technical parties have tended to conflict with each other more often than we’d like\, we are seeing a shift in the industry towards more understanding and commonality amongst the technical groups trying to keep up with the energy transition. But more is needed\, and this collaboration should be encouraged and fostered! \nThis talk will focus on some of the challenges common to all those in the power systems engineering community. It will highlight the need in the coming years to achieve an unprecedented level of cooperation between these groups and common understanding if we are to solve them\, and suggest some avenues to increase this collaboration. \nAbout the Speaker: Andrew Isaacs has been with Electranix since 2003. He currently specializes in renewable interconnections\, weak grid and SSR/SSCI issues\, as well as large scale EMT system modelling. Additional current efforts include specification and support for FACTs\, training for utility planners\, study team leadership\, and expert witness support. Andrew obtained his M.Sc.(EE) from the University of Manitoba\, Canada. He is has been an active participant in NERC working groups\, Cigre\, and the IEEE. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ensuring Reliability with a Transforming Fleet: The Average vs. Marginal ELCC Debate
DESCRIPTION:Download Newell Presentation \nDownload Carden Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nAbout the Webinar: Across the industry ISOs and utilities are grappling with capacity accreditation – the process in which we determine the firm capacity contribution that resources bring for reliability and resource adequacy. In competitive capacity markets\, this process determines the quantity of capacity each resource brings to the market and ultimately the market’s capacity price. In the vertically integrated utilities it determines which resources are procured to meet reserve margin requirements. \nThe energy transition is requiring grid operators to change the way they accredit resources. While effective load carrying capability (ELCC) is the metric utilized most – and being adopted more broadly – the specific details of its calculation are changing and being debated. FERC proposals and IRPs around the country are seeking to answer questions like: \n\n\n\nShould we use an average or marginal ELCC?\nHow does this affect the resource mix of future systems?\nWhat are the reliability and pricing implications?\nShould we use seasonal or monthly credits?\nShould we apply consistent methods between thermal\, renewable\, and storage resources?”\nDo we even need to accredit individual resources?\n\n\n\nTo shed light on these questions\, the Energy Systems Integration Group is hosting a debate between industry experts Kevin Carden (Astrapé Consulting) and Dr. Samuel Newell (The Brattle Group). \nFeatured Speakers: Kevin Carden\, Astrapé Consulting and Dr. Samuel Newell\, The Brattle Group. \nKevin Carden is the Director of Astrapé Consulting\, an energy consulting organization with a focus on resource adequacy. Under his leadership for the past 17 years\, Astrapé Consulting has performed planning reserve margin studies\, ELCC studies\, renewable integration studies\, and operational flexibility studies for utilities\, regulators\, and ISOs worldwide. Kevin also led the redevelopment of SERVM\, a now industry-leading Resource Adequacy Planning tool\, which is licensed by Astrapé. He holds a U.S. patent in Generation Reliability Modeling techniques (#7698233) and a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Alabama. \nDr. Samuel Newell leads Brattle’s Electricity Group of over 50 consultants addressing the most challenging economic questions facing an industry transforming to clean energy. His expertise centers on electricity wholesale markets\, market design\, generation asset valuation\, integrated resource planning\, and transmission planning. He frequently provides testimony and expert reports to Independent System Operators (ISOs)\, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)\, state regulatory commissions\, and the American Arbitration Association. Prior to joining The Brattle Group\, Dr. Newell was Director of the Transmission Service at Cambridge Energy Research Associates. Before that\, he was a Manager in the Utilities Practice at A.T. Kearney \nModerator: Derek Stenclik\, Telos Energy \nRegistration Cost: FREE

SUMMARY:Webinar: EMT Modeling and Simulation – Who Needs an EMT Model for Doing Stability Studies?
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Babak Badrzadeh\, Technical Director\, Power Systems\, Aurecon \n \nAbout the Webinar: Power systems around the world are transitioning to significantly higher shares of inverter-based resources (IBR) with few synchronous generators remaining online. IBR and synchronous generators have fundamentally different dynamic performance characteristics. System dynamics and technical needs are therefore vastly different between synchronous and IBR dominated power systems\, and these differences will become greater as IBR uptake increases in the power system. Several practical experiences exist where conventional power system stability analysis tools\, referred to as phasor-domain transients\, have been unable to predict these phenomena due to the simplifications inherent to these tools. \nMore detailed whole-system modelling based on electromagnetic transient (EMT) models has been increasingly used in recent times in particular in countries/regions with higher IBR penetration to address the problems discussed above. This will facilitate accurate long-term power system planning allowing the resolution of new and emerging phenomena before they manifest in real power system operation. It will also permit a more accurate albeit more involved assessment of the impact of connecting new IBRs such as battery energy storage systems\, hydrogen electrolyser\, solar and wind generation on power system planning and operation. This detailed modelling will also facilitate better understanding of the performance of emerging technologies such as grid-forming inverters and how best they can be designed to meet emerging power system needs and technical requirements in power systems with significantly higher IBR penetration. \nThis webinar focuses on why\, when\, where and who questions as far as wide-area EMT modelling is concerned. A brief discussion on the how question will also be presented.\n \nAbout the Speaker: Babak Badrzadeh holds BSc\, MSc and PhD all in the area of electrical power systems. Prior to joining Aurecon in March 2021\, he was with AEMO as the Manager of Operational Analysis and Engineering team. He is currently the Technical Director\, Power Systems with Aurecon\, and an Adjunct Professor with Monash University. His focus area is power system modelling and analysis\, including the impact of grid-connected and distributed inverter-based resources from operational\, connections and planning perspectives. He has played a key role in the worldwide establishment of wide-area electromagnetic transient (EMT) modelling\, and the overarching area of system strength. Babak is currently the Convener of CIGRE Working Groups B4.83\, C2.26 and C4.56\, a member of CIGRE SC C2 Strategic Advisory Committee. In January 2021 Babak was appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES). He is also a recipient of 2019 ESIG Engineering excellence award. In March 2021 Babak was appointed as the chief editor of CIGRE Green Book on ‘’Power system dynamic modelling and analysis in evolving networks’’. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Inertia Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nJulia Matevosyan\nAbout the Webinar: As shares of inverter-based resources increase\, fewer synchronous generators may be online at any given time. Inertial response available from synchronous machines after a sudden large imbalance on the system is therefore diminishing. Various methods and technologies to improve and supplement inertial response exist and are gradually being deployed in power systems with high shares of inverter-based resources. Regardless of the methods being used\, there is a need to improve situational awareness and accurately monitor available inertial response in real-time. A number of methods for estimating and monitoring inertia have been developed over the past few years. This webinar will briefly cover the need for inertia monitoring and methods that are currently being used or proposed around the world. \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: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
