DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Mark O’Malley\, Chief Scientist\, ESIG and Julian Leslie\,  Head of Networks and Chief Engineer – National Grid Electricity System Operator \nMark O’Malley\nAbout the Webinar: As the power system generation mix transitions\, advances in the operation and planning of the power system are required to continue to meet its primary objectives. To meet this need\, select system operators on the cutting edge of this transition have collaborated with technical institutions around the world to create the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Consortium (https://globalpst.org/). The Consortium has the objective of supporting advanced system operator cutting-edge research and development activities and supporting all system operators globally with knowledge and training as they transform their power systems. \nFollowing an extensive and rigorous process\, the G-PST defined a common inaugural research agenda to advance the operations and planning of power systems to enable the transition. The purpose of this webinar is to describe the research agenda\, which seeks to include all possible advances\, from fundamental to applied research\, driving solutions which are expected (but not assumed) to be globally applicable to all system operators. The initial research agenda focuses on near-term issues (i.e.\, next decade) and includes all technical aspects of operational and planning activities within the bulk power system. These advances will vary from system to system and will range from simple modifications of existing technologies and practices to fundamentally new and better ways to plan and/or operate the power systems of the future. \nJulian Leslie\nAbout the Speakers: Mark O’Malley is the Chief Scientist of the Energy Systems Integration Group having recently completed a three-year assignment as Chief Scientist\, Energy Systems Integration at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, USA. At NREL he co-led the establishment of the Global Power System Transformation Consortium and is the co-chair of the Research Agenda Group. He is a Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering\, a member of the Royal Irish Academy\, the Professor of Electrical Engineering at UCD and a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London. \nJulian Leslie is a chartered engineer with three decades of transmission system operation\, planning and investment experience. Julian’s role is to prepare Great Britain’s electricity network for net zero operation\, defining future network needs so that market and network owners can invest in the right technology solutions at the right time. He is also responsible for transmission system connections\, ensuring that access – both connection and maintenance – is safe\, secure and straightforward and keeps consumers’ costs to a minimum. \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: Connect Faster: Improving Renewable Energy Integration With Modular Power Flow Control
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nQ&A Recap \n\nConnect Faster: Improving Renewable Energy Integration With Modular Power Flow Control\nWednesday\, September 8 – 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. (eastern US) \nFeatured Speaker: Michael Walsh\, Chief Commercial Officer\, Smart Wires \nWebinar Abstract: Modular power flow control provides a uniquely effective approach to help renewable generation developers and asset owners address their most challenging transmission needs. The modern\, power-electronics-based version of these devices\, built upon decades of grid experience\, helps balance network flows by pulling or pushing power through capacitive or inductive voltage injection. When new generation seeks grid interconnection\, it routinely requires network upgrades to enable firm export of power. Under business-as-usual transmission planning strategies\, these upgrades can be extensive because much of the grid was not designed for distributed\, intermittent\, renewable generation. Reconductors\, substation refurbishments or new lines are all costly\, traditional solutions that can take many years to complete due to permitting and other challenges. Yet significant latent capacity exists in most networks around the world\, a recent study by the Brattle Group highlights how this technology can dramatically improve the scale of renewable generation integration in the Southwest Power Pool network. Modular power flow control has proven to help utilities plan and operate their grid to leverage this capacity\, enabling new generation to be connected must faster and more cost-effectively – supporting regulatory targets while benefiting ratepayers and developers alike. In a recent deployment with National Grid Electric Transmission in the UK\, modular power flow control enabled 1.5 GW of renewable generation to access the London metro area by increasing utilization of the existing transmission capacity. Solutions like this one allow rapid deployment scaling\, in line with phased generation connection\, further reducing upfront capital burden on developers. These standard offerings can generally be installed in 1 year or less\, alleviating thermal overload-induced congestion to improve the financial feasibility of previously uneconomic renewable energy projects. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Solar to Grid - Market Value and Bulk Power Impacts of US Solar Through 2019
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Andrew D. Mills\, Research Scientist\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\nJoachim (Jo) Seel\, Senior Scientific Engineering Associate\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory \nAndrew Mills\nWebinar Abstract: With continued deployment of solar across the United States\, assessing the interactions of solar with the power system is an increasingly important complement to studies tracking the cost and performance of solar plants. This presentation focuses on the historical contribution to reliability\, trends in market value\, and impacts on the bulk power system of solar deployed in the U.S. through the end of 2019 with preliminary data for 2020. Specifically we will cover growth in solar generation and associated market penetration as well as solar’s contributions to resource adequacy based on various calculation methods. We will present solar’s energy and capacity value\, market value decline with growing solar penetration\, and overall competitiveness relative to solar’s PPA prices and LCOE estimates. Finally we will highlight the implications of solar growth for wholesale price patterns\, ancillary service requirements\, changes to net-load ramps\, and overall demand for increased flexibility.The scope of this analysis includes the seven organized U.S. wholesale power markets and is based on historical hourly solar generation profiles for each individual plant larger than 1 MW or county-level aggregate profiles for smaller solar. In addition\, we present a limited set of results for ten utilities that are outside of the independent system operator (ISO)/regional transmission organization (RTO) markets. More information (a technical report\, briefings\, underlying data\, and interactive visualizations) can be found at https://emp.lbl.gov/renewable-grid-insights. \nJoachim (Jo) Seel\nAbout the Speakers: Andrew D.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Electrification and Industrial Sources of System Balancing Flexibility
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Niall Mac Dowell\, Professor\, Energy Systems Engineering\, Imperial College London \nAbout the Webinar: Following the terms of the Paris Agreement\, an increasing number of countries worldwide are adopting legally binding “net zero” targets\, i.e.\, a requirement to reduce emissions of CO2 to net zero by approximately 2050. While precise dates vary (Finland is aiming at 2035\, the EU is aiming at 2050\, and China is targeting 2060)\, all are challenging targets. Across the board\, the ambitious deployment of renewable energy resources\, alongside initiatives towards the electrification of mobility\, heating\, and the industrial sector\, are core elements of the “net zero strategy.” As this increases the integration of the broader energy system\, resilience of the grid becomes increasingly important. Core to ensuring grid resilience is the ability of supply and demand to interact flexibly\, potentially through energy storage\, and demand side response\, among other options. These ideas\, and more are explored in this webinar. \nAbout the Speaker: Niall Mac Dowell is a Professor in Energy Systems Engineering at Imperial College London. He is a Chartered Engineer\, a Fellow of both the IChemE and the Royal Society of Chemistry. His research is focused on understanding the transition to a low carbon economy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Better Planning for Future DER Adoption
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ben Sigrin\, Energy Systems Modeling Engineer\, NREL \n \nWebinar Abstract: Forecasting the adoption and operation of distributed energy resources (DER)\, e.g.\, rooftop PV\, at fine spatial resolution is an integral part of distribution system (DSP) and integrated resource planning (IRP). Two approaches are emerging: simulating realistic\, but statistically representative end-users at regional or transmission scale planning\, or\, simulating actual end-users for specific power systems\, typically in distribution planning. Both approaches face tradeoffs in the ease of access to the tools for practitioners versus the substantial computational and data challenges in simulating thousands to millions of heterogeneous end-users. Join us to learn more about NREL data\, tools\, and analysis on DER planning\, including the recently open-sourced dGen model. \nAbout the Speaker: Ben Sigrin is a modeling engineer in the Distributed Systems and Storage Group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). His research interests include capacity expansion modeling with a focus on adoption of distributed energy resources\, risk and decision-making\, and customer behavior. He is also the technical lead for NREL’s open source Distributed Generation Market Demand Model\, or “dGen”\, an agent-based model to forecast DER deployment. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, ESIG Executive Director \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Is “Grid Forming” Enough: What Do Electricity Grids Need From IBR?
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Session \nQ&A Recap \n\nIs “Grid Forming” Enough: What Do Electricity Grids Need From IBR?\nWednesday\, May 12 – 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. (eastern US)\nFeatured Speaker: Tim Green\, Professor\, Co-Director of the Energy Futures Laboratory (EFL)\, Imperial College London \nTim C Green received a B.Sc.(Eng) from Imperial College London\, UK in 1986 and a Ph.D. from Heriot-Watt University\, Edinburgh\, UK in 1990. He is a Professor of Electrical Power Engineering at Imperial College London\, and Co-Director of the Energy Futures Lab with a role of fostering interdisciplinary energy research across the university. His research uses the flexibility of power electronics to enable electricity networks to operate with very high fractions of low carbon technologies. In HVDC\, he has contributed converter designs that strike improved trade-offs between power losses\, physical size and fault handling. In distribution systems\, he has pioneered the use of soft open points. He has made important contribution to the study of stability of grid-connected inverters. Prof. Green is a Chartered Engineering in the UK\, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of IEEE. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, 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. \nWebinar Abstract: The replacement of electro-mechanical machines by inverter-based resources (IBR) is fundamentally changing the dynamics and stability properties of grids. A review will be made of the needs a grid system has in order that it is stable and secure. The needs in terms of voltage strength\, frequency regulation and synchronisation will be discussed in term of how they are met by synchronous machines\, grid-following converters and grid-forming converters. A case will be made that there is advantage in not all resources being obliged to provide all system services and that new services can replace some traditional services. Thus\, strictly following a virtual synchronous machine (VSM) approach may not yield the best solution. \nApproaches to ensuring system-wide dynamic stability will also be explored noting that IBR have overlapping sets of dynamics but with details often hidden in black-box models. A method for identifying root-causes of poorly damped modes in black-box models will be illustrated. This analytical grey-box method avoids exhaustive transient simulation. A toolbox for compiling models of composite grids with IBR and synchronous machines will be introduced. The talk will conclude with some thoughts on modelling and analysis challenges that remain for IBR dominated grids. \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout G-PST Consortium \nThe chief executive officers of National Grid Electricity System Operator UK\, California Independent System Operator (CAISO)\, Australia Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, Ireland’s System Operator (EirGrid)\, and Denmark’s System Operator (Energinet) are champions in developing the consortium mission and activities. Importantly\, these system operators are leading a Research Agenda Group to identify common\, cutting-edge research questions that can inform large- scale national research and development investments. Relevant results and lessons from this process will be broadly shared for learning across all countries. The Consortium is also partnering with around 10 emerging economy and developing country system operators from Africa\, Asia\, Latin America and Eastern Europe who will also guide the G-PST vision and collaborate with the Consortium to advance power system transformation with a focus on technical collaboration\, peer learning and exchange\, and workforce development to support local PST priorities. \nA core team\, including the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG)\, Imperial College London\, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)\, Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence for Integrated Energy Systems\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory\, Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE)\, IEEE\, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)\, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)\, the Danish Technical University (DTU)\, and ASEAN Center for Energy\, is actively developing the consortium and will be engaged in implementation of technical work as well as coordinating specific pillars. \nInternational agencies and multilateral and regional development banks\, including World Bank\, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)\, German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)\, International Energy Agency (IEA)\, Asian Development Bank (ADB)\, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and others are serving as key implementing partners to ensure the consortium complements and reinforces existing programs. \n For more information on the G-PST visit https://globalpst.org/.

SUMMARY:Special Transmission Webinar Series - Part 3: Paying
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nAbout the Series: ESIG has just completed a broad stakeholder review of the transmission implications of moving towards very high levels of decarbonization and renewable energy at a national level. The issues associated with a large transmission network spanning the continent can be generally grouped into the areas of transmission planning\, permitting and paying\, covered in this extended 3-part webinar. The first webinar on planning will be presented by Rob Gramlich of Grid Strategies. Rob is a well-known figure nationally in this area\, and will cover the drivers for a broad\, geographical approach to planning. The topic of permitting will be presented by Bret Sumner\, a practicing lawyer well versed in the practical aspects of project permitting on public and private lands. The third topic to be addressed\, paying\, or cost allocation\, will be covered by Steve Gaw\, Senior Vice President of Markets and Infrastructure for the Advanced Power Alliance.  \n \nPart 3: Paying\nFeatured Speaker: Steve Gaw\, Senior Vice President of Markets & Infrastructure\, Advanced Power Alliance \nSteve Gaw\, an attorney\, former Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives\, and former Chair of the Missouri Public Service Commission\, is the Senior Vice President of Markets and Infrastructure for the Advanced Power Alliance and also acts as an advisor to the American Clean Power Association. His primary focus is on RTO policy issues within the Southwest Power Pool region and matters of national interest that impact the advancement of wind energy. He was one of the founding directors and past President of the Organization of MISO States (OMS) and a founding director of the SPP Regional State Committee. Steve was the representative for the renewable generators on the Steering Committee of the Eastern Interconnect Planning Corroborative. He has been a speaker and moderator in regional\, national and international forums on energy policy dealing with both electricity and natural gas. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, 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. \nWebinar Abstract: Building needed infrastructure is more than just planning. Before it can be built there must also be a mechanism to pay for it. In fact\, transmission planning and cost allocation have proven to be nearly inseverable when addressing infrastructure needs. Over the last two decades we have gone from having stagnant infrastructure development in the Midwest\, to significant investment\, to another slow down. We know what has worked and what has not. But will the cost allocation solutions of the past help solve today’s infrastructure slow down and the needs of tomorrow\, especially in the midst of one of the biggest periods of change in the electric industry’s history? What are the challenges we face looking forward? And what are potential solutions that will move us to optimal solutions for the grid and fairness in the way we pay for them?

Electric transmission project proponents face significant complex permitting challenges involving a multitude of land access\, environmental\, regulatory\, and government affairs issues at the federal\, state and local levels. These issues can result in costly delays and stranded capital\, and serve only to increase uncertainties with respect to obtaining required federal\, state and local permits and authorizations. This presentation will provide an overview of key permitting issues that often hinder permitting\, with an example on western federal land access\, as well as potential strategies to minimize these risks.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Frequency Control in a 100% Inverter Based Grid
DESCRIPTION:Frequency Control in a 100% Inverter Based Grid\nDownload Presentation\n\nView Session Recording\n\nDownload Q&A\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker: Deepak Ramasubramanian\, Senior Engineer Scientist\, EPRI\n\nDeepak Ramasubramanian is a Sr. Engineer Scientist at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). He joined EPRI in 2017 where his work is in the area of modeling\, control and stability analysis of the bulk power system with recent focus on the associated impacts of large scale integration of converter interfaced generation and distributed energy resources.\n\nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG\n\nRegistration Cost: FREE\n\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\nWebinar Abstract: The changing resource mix of the bulk power system\, particularly the increasing deployment of wind power and solar PV\, has resulted in an increasing portion of the resource mix being asynchronously connected through inverters – Inverter Based Resources (IBRs). These resources behave differently than traditional synchronous resources\, which has necessitated investigation into viable alternate control schemes for use during operation of the system. A major theme of alternate schemes proposed in research has been on ensuring that these IBRs conform to the operational norms and limits that are presently followed. However as a faster response can be obtained from IBRs\, this webinar will first pose the question of whether there is really a need to make IBRs conform to a slower operational paradigm which reflects synchronous machine operation. Or can the fast response characteristics of an IBR be leveraged to obtain superior frequency control?\n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nAbout G-PST Consortium\n\nThe chief executive officers of National Grid Electricity System Operator UK\, California Independent System Operator (CAISO)\, Electric Reliability Council of Texas\, Australia Energy Market Operator (AEMO)\, Ireland’s System Operator (EirGrid)\, and Denmark’s System Operator (Energinet) are champions in developing the consortium mission and activities.

SUMMARY:Webinar: NERC Update on IBR Modeling Guidelines and Experience
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar \nDownload Session Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Ryan Quint\, Senior Manager\, BPS Security and Grid Transformation\, NERC \nWebinar Abstract: This webinar will focus on modeling bulk power system (BPS)-connected inverter-based resources and the aggregate impact of distributed energy resources (DERs)\, both increasingly critical components for transmission planners in today’s world. Accurate modeling of BPS-connected inverter-based resources continues to be a challenge for industry\, with significant focus on developing study processes conducive to gathering\, validating\, and benchmarking models. As system short-circuit strength decreases in many areas\, focus is turning to the use of electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation techniques to develop corrective actions for complex challenges with inverter-based resource integration. Further\, the increasing growth of DERs across many areas is complicating the modeling challenges as well. Gathering suitable information to develop a reasonable representation of the aggregate amount of DERs is a challenge in itself\, let alone executing detailed engineering studies that account for possible forecasting errors in truly distributed resources. Impacts to underfrequency load shedding operations\, stability margins\, BPS voltage support\, and other BPS reliability metrics all need to be studied to ensure adequate levels of reliability on the BPS. This webinar will dive into some of the challenges we face and offer ideas and recommendations on how to move forward. \nRyan Quint \nAbout the Speaker: Ryan Quint is a Senior Manager at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation\, where he coordinates a number of NERC technical groups focused on emerging reliability risks. Most recently\, his focus has been on the reliable integration of large amounts of bulk power system-connected inverter based resources and aggregate distributed energy resources. Ryan has also worked at the Bonneville Power Administration and Dominion Virginia Power in various roles. He received his PhD from Virginia Tech\, and is a registered Professional Engineer in the state of Virginia. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, ESIG Executive Director \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
