SUMMARY:2024 Spring O&M Users Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Members of the ESIG O&M Users Group are invited to attend the 2024 Spring O&M Users Group Meeting at the Margaritaville Resort Orlando in Orlando\, FL. \nThe meeting will feature a pre-meeting workshop\, plenary session and manufacturer-specific roundtables. The roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users who share their information\, knowledge and experience. As a reminder\, participation in the roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own\, operate\, or maintain wind generation or solar equipment. \nBelow you’ll find a preliminary outline of the event schedule along with information on accommodations. \nBelow you’ll find information on accommodations. We encourage you to make your reservation as soon as possible. If your plans change\, you can always cancel your reservation with the hotel up to 24 hours prior to your scheduled arrival without penalty. \n\nEvent Schedule\n \nAbout the Plenary Session \nBy popular demand\, ESIG is bringing you an electrifying plenary session for Spring 2024 O&M meeting! The topic is lightning\, with a focus on practical aspects of maintenance of lightning protection systems. We will hear from speakers about the interaction of lightning and wind turbines\, installation of lightning sensors on turbines\, LPS measurements\, and how to know that your LPS is in good condition. After hearing from the speakers\, we will have a discussion with the membership to share experiences and knowledge regarding LPS O&M practices. This discussion won’t strike twice\, so bring your questions and be there! \nAbout the Roundtables \nThe heart of the meeting consists of manufacturer-specific roundtables for user group members only. The format consists of open discussions\, moderated by Roundtable Chairpersons\, centered on a specific wind turbine component or specific model of wind turbine. The Roundtables provide the opportunity for frank and open discussion among users\, who share their information\, knowledge and experience. \nParticipation in the Roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own\, operate\, or maintain wind generation equipment. \nAbout the Wind Academy Tour \nWind Academy by Siemens Gamesa is a 40\,000 square-foot facility built according to U.S. LEED gold standards. The training center has a total of nine classrooms\, two simulation labs\, three climbing towers\, two advanced rescue simulators\, and two full size wind turbine nacelles. \n \n\nRegistration\nPlease note: early-bird rates are available until Friday\, March 1. \n  \n \n \n\n \nAccommodations\nThe host hotel for the spring event is the Margaritaville Resort Orlando in Orlando\, FL. \nThe special ESIG room rate is $199 per night. The deadline to make your reservation is March 25\, 2024. \nCLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM \nPlease Note: We have a limited amount of rooms available at the government per diem rate. If you need a room at this rate\, please contact Brooke Brown at brooke@esig.energy to make arrangements. \n  \n  \n\nUsers Group Meeting Sponsor

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar Series: A Framework for Quantifying Supply and Demand for Grid Stability Services
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Matthew Richwine\, Founding Partner\, Telos Energy and Nicholas Miller\, Principal\, HickoryLedge LLC \nAbout the Webinar: As the grid transitions from synchronous machinery to inverter-based resources\, the grid services that power systems need to be stable won’t change\, but the way we define and measure those services will change — and it’s more than just inertia. This webinar will cover recent progress on the evolution of grid services and discuss a framework for parsing and quantifying stability services to help planners\, operations\, and procurement teams better describe how much they have and what they need. \nAbout the Speakers: Matthew Richwine is a founding partner of Telos Energy and is a leader in power systems engineering\, power electronic controls\, and system stability. For over thirteen 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. Prior to founding Telos Energy\, Matthew worked for General Electric in its Energy Consulting department\, most recently as the Senior Manager of the Renewables and Controls team. In that role\, he led a team in the development of new control systems for power converters and transmission planning models for GE’s Renewables business. \nNicholas Miller is an internationally known power system engineer\, with specialty in integration of wind and solar generation to bulk power systems. He spent 3/8 of a century with GE.  He is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering\, an IEEE Life Fellow\, a Licensed Professional Engineer in NY\, and a Distinguished Member of CIGRE.  He authored 20 US patents\, has over 180 publications with over 8\,000 citations and is the recipient of GE’s Edison Award\, CIGRE’s Philip Sporn Award\, the IEEE Ramakumar Renewable Energy Award\, and is a Lifetime Member of ESIG. \nModerator: Julia Matevosyan\, Chief Engineer\, 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Flexibility from Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Anna Lafoyiannis \, Technical Leader\, EPRI and Maren Ihlemann\,  Engineer/Scientist III\, EPRI \n \nAbout the Webinar: Hydrogen production has the potential to provide many important power system services. Techniques to effectively model and integrate hydrogen into power system planning processes are emerging. This webinar will discuss the current state of modeling techniques in power system models\, key considerations\, and ongoing research activities to develop improved modeling methods\, in order to understand the implications of electrolytic hydrogen production for electricity system operations. \nAbout the Speakers: Anna Lafoyiannis is a Technical Leader at EPRI\, where her research focuses on strategic decision-making to support long-range resource and transmission planning. Before joining EPRI\, she was supervisor of reliability assurance at Ontario’s IESO\, where she developed its capacity market and set specifications for long-term contracts. She also held leadership roles at the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)\, including a term as chair of NERC’s Reliability Assessment Subcommittee. Anna holds a B.A.Sc. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Waterloo and M.Eng. in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering\, with an emphasis on Sustainable Energy from the University of Toronto. \nMaren Ihlemann is an Engineer/Scientist III at EPRI\, working on resource adequacy\, with a research focus on new methodologies and climate resilient planning. Prior to joining EPRI\, she completed her PhD at the KU Leuven University\, Belgium\, in the Group of Energy Systems Integration & Modeling. Her research focused on developing and applying a highly flexible\, multi-energy system modeling tool. As part of the Horizon 2020 Project Spine\, she was one of the core developers of SpineOpt and later led the corresponding work package. Maren holds an M.Sc. in Energy Engineering and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineer from the RWTH Aachen University\, Germany. \nModerator: Jason MacDowell\, Chief Systems Integration Officer\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the slido platform for Q&A.
