SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Going the Distance: Moving AC Power from Large Inverter-Based Generation Pockets to Load Centers
DESCRIPTION:Going the Distance: Moving AC Power from Large Inverter-Based Generation Pockets to Load Centers\nDownload Presentation \nView Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Nick Miller\, Principal\, HickoryLedge LLC & Matthew Richwine\, Founding Partner\, Telos Energy \nNick Miller\nNick Miller recently retired from GE after 3/8 century of experience and research on bulk power systems. He has lectured on Wind and Solar Power integration to governments and institutions in more than three dozen countries. He currently provides consulting expertise to a variety of private and public institutions on topics of grid integration of renewable resources. He holds twenty US patents for wind\, solar\, and grid technologies\, is a Fellow of IEEE\, a NY PE\, active in CIGRE and IEC\, has authored over 150 technical papers and articles\, and is the recipient of several power industry awards. \nMatthew Richwine is a founding partner of Telos Energy and is passionate about power systems engineering\, power electronic controls\, and system stability. For the past ten years\, he has been designing\, testing\, and analyzing thermal and renewable power generation equipment and studying the stability of power systems ranging from tens of megawatts to tens of gigawatts. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nMatthew Richwine\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: Getting the power from large areas of high-quality wind and solar resources across AC transmission to load centers is one of the most pressing and practical challenges facing major interconnections today. This webinar covers the stability challenges associated with long-distance\, high-voltage transmission by examining the performance of emerging grid-forming inverter technology relative to grid-following inverter technology and synchronous machine technology and the impact of non-wires transmission system reinforcements. \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)\, 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. 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:Webinar: Role of Transmission in Deep Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Session Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Dr. Christopher Clack\, Founder & CEO\, Vibrant Clean Energy \nWebinar Abstract: Recently many studies have explored the requirements for a clean electricity and energy system across the United States (and globally). These studies typically focus on the generation and demand\, which are fundamental components for cleaning the electricity and energy system. This webinar will focus on the role of transmission and how its importance is inextricably linked to lower cost clean energy systems. We will explore the different aspects of transmission and how it interacts with the decarbonization of the energy system. We will also explore alternatives to transmission and if it can be replaced as an asset for decarbonization. Finally\, the webinar will show the scale of transmission requirements for decarbonization of electricity and energy for the United States. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr Clack is the CEO of Vibrant Clean Energy\, LLC (VCE®). He is pursuing a path that leads the way for a more intelligent electric power system design\, here in the US and abroad. Dr Clack has been at the forefront of the energy optimization world for many years. In 2012\, he created the groundbreaking National Energy with Weather System (NEWS) simulator while a PI for a National Academy of Sciences (NAS)\, National Research Council (NRC) project. He later transferred to the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado Boulder. During his time at CIRES\, he developed various methods to advance the way people think about variable generation and the future role it has. Dr Clack can be characterized as an expert in mathematics\, statistics and optimization. He combines this expertise with the gained skills of numerical weather prediction\, electrical engineering\, and economics. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, ESIG Executive Director \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
