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.

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: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.
