SUMMARY:Distributed Energy Resources Working Group Fall Session
DESCRIPTION:The Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Working Group will hold an online session on Tuesday\, December 15\, 2:00 – 3:00 pm (eastern US). Below you will find a brief description of the session along with the registration button. \nReminder: ESIG Working Groups are only open to members of ESIG and invited guests. \nImplementation challenges and perspectives on FERC 2222\nThe release of FERC 2222 creates a pathway for participation of DERs in wholesale markets across organized markets in the U.S. This is an important development that could have implications for using DERs to increase grid flexibility and facilitating a path towards low carbon grid. Recently\, a group of DER experts\, led by Advanced Energy Economy and GridLab\, and including participation from RTOS\, DER providers and independent experts\, embarked on an eLab Accelerator effort to remove barriers to DER participation in wholesale markets. They discussed principles and recommendations that could be helpful towards implementing FERC 2222. Join RTO members from MISO and ISO-NE\, formerly from CAISO\, and Enel North America\, and AEE\, for a deep and intimate discussion on FERC 2222.

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.
