SUMMARY:Webinar: Assessing the Value of Grid Enhancing Technologies: Modeling\, Analysis\, and Business Justification
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nClick here for more information on ESIG’s GETs User Group \n\nFeatured Speakers: Jake Gentle\, Program Manager\, Secure and Resilient Renewables and Grid Integration\, Idaho National Laboratory\nSean Morash\, Principal\, Power System Consultant\, Telos Energy\nKen Donohoo\, ESIG GETs User Group Chair \nAbout the Webinar: Transmission Optimization Grid Enhancing Technologies (TOGETs) was established to fill the knowledge gaps of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) and conduct a full scale\, multi-faceted field exercise. TOGETs is aimed to vest\, verify\, and validate deployed GETs in a transmission system. In the coming decades\, the U.S electrical grid will face challenges\, replacing aging infrastructure\, increased demand for power\, and the push for clean and sustainable energy due to climate change. These challenges combined mean that our existing transmission system struggles to provide reliable power. GETs are technological solutions that can help by providing operational support while larger upgrades are completed en route to a transmission system that reliably integrates new sources of power. This presentation will include key topics and questions addressed by the INL TOGETs R&D team\, and provide modeling and simulation examples of GETs\, including Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) and Power Flow Controllers (PFC) using Plexos and TARA modeling tools. \nAbout the Speakers: Jake Gentle is a Senior Program Manager and supervisor for Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Secure and Resilient Renewables and Grid Integration Portfolio. He leads a team through the development of technology and providing technical oversight by coordinating state-of-the-art and innovative solutions for the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)\, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE). Gentle also currently leads an INL initiative called Securing the Path to Net-Zero™. \nSean Morash is a Power System Consultant and Principal at Telos Energy. He has led client engagements with system-level analysis across North America for renewable integration\, decarbonization\, and reliability assessments. Morash specializes in conveying complex electric sector themes to a range of stakeholder audiences and engaging with clients as an expert witness on utility planning and ISO stakeholder process on the topics of integrated system planning\, system reliability\, etc. He also performs power system operations modeling and forecasting to assess modernization strategies. \nKen Donohoo is providing subject matter expert advice and strategy to various entities. Focused on meeting customer needs related to transmission & distribution system analysis/planning\, substation and electric system design\, energy market analysis\, grid integration of energy resources\, renewable energy\, generation development\, and design of wind\, solar\, biomass\, as well as energy storage. He has forty years of related experience in increasingly complex supervisory/management positions\, including significant experience in power system planning/analysis\, system operations and resource planning for the ERCOT system. \nJake Gentle\nSean Morash\nKen Donohoo\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nModerator: James Okullo\, Director of System Planning\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: Cloudy with a Chance of Blackouts or Full of Hot Air?: Evaluating Weather Events in Long-term Power System Planning and Resource Adequacy Analysis
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nDownload Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speaker: Derek Stenclik\, Founding Partner\, Telos Energy \nAbout the Webinar: This presentation focuses on the evaluation of weather events in long-term power system planning\, considering the changing dynamics of the energy transition. The presentation will cover the changing resource adequacy needs resulting from the energy transition\, emphasizing the need to ensure a reliable power supply in the face of gas constraints\, renewable energy integration\, and retiring thermal generation. The analysis of extreme weather events is also explored – with emphasis on capturing winter risk – by highlighting the use of advanced data analytics and modeling techniques to assess the potential impacts on infrastructure\, generation capacity\, and grid reliability. The discussion will also include recommendations for incorporating weather patterns into electrification load profiles to develop accurate future electricity demand estimates. \nThis presentation aims to provide power system planners with practical recommendations and insights to navigate weather-related risks and the energy transition\, ensuring the development of a reliable\, resilient\, and sustainable energy system. \nAbout the Speaker: Derek Stenclik is the Founding Partner of Telos Energy\, an engineering and analytics firm specializing in renewable integration and power system planning. He has over a decade of experience helping clients across the electric power industry navigate evolving markets\, adapt to rapidly changing technologies\, and accelerate clean energy integration. He is a recognized expert on wind\, solar\, and battery integration\, resource adequacy analysis\, and grid planning. Prior to starting Telos Energy\, Derek was the Senior Manager of Power System Strategy at GE. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Performance of Future IBRs for Provision of Bulk Power System Services
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A Responses \n\nFeatured Speaker: Deepak Ramasubramanian\, Technical Leader\, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) \nAbout the Webinar: With the increase in inverter based resources\, insight is needed on how to plan a system with a large percentage of inverters. What are the kinds of services needed from the grid forming resources? What impact will these services have on the power system both from a small signal and large signal perspective? How should you differentiate between different types of inverter based resources? A few answers to these questions\, as well as the viability of using inverter based resources for system restoration\, will be discussed in this webinar. \nDeepak Ramasubramanian\nAbout the Speaker: Deepak Ramasubramanian is a Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the Grid Operations and Planning Group. Deepak joined EPRI in 2017 where his work is in the area of modeling\, control and stability analysis of the bulk power system with focus on the associated impacts of large-scale integration of converter interfaced generation. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
