DESCRIPTION:Download Presentation \nWebinar Recording \n\nFeatured Speakers: Amy Rose\, Senior Researcher and Group Manager\, NREL; Greg Brinkman\, Energy Analysis Engineer\, NREL; Luke Lavin\, Research Engineer\, NREL \nAbout the Webinar: The Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study identifies and compares different transmission strategies for enabling offshore wind energy deployment along the U.S. Atlantic Coast\, from Maine through South Carolina. The study evaluated the costs and benefits of multiple long-term pathways to enable offshore wind energy deployment through coordinated transmission solutions along the U.S. Atlantic Coast while supporting grid reliability and resilience and other ocean uses. Please join Amy Rose\, Luke Lavin\, and Greg Brinkman as they discuss the study objectives\, methods\, and key conclusions. \nAbout the Speakers:\nAmy Rose is a senior researcher and group manager of the Transmission Group in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center. Her research focuses on planning and operations of low-emissions transmission systems. Dr. Rose contributes to national and regional transmission planning studies to identify investment strategies that provide broadscale benefits to customers and accelerate decarbonization. In addition\, she has worked extensively with national and state partners in India to achieve their clean energy targets through large-scale grid integration studies\, workforce development\, and enabling policy and regulations. Through the Global Power Sector Transformation Consortium\, she worked with over 15 countries to identify and meet emerging needs of system operators to manage higher shares of renewable energy on their grids. Dr. Rose holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Engineering System from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nGreg Brinkman is an expert in power systems modeling and renewables integration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.  Much of his work focuses on understanding the impacts of transmission in a future low-carbon grid.  He has a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado and has worked on a variety of large-scale grid integration and transmission studies.  He helped lead the recently-completed Atlantic Offshore Wind Transmission Study\, and currently spends half of his time on detail at NYSERDA supporting offshore wind transmission work. \nLuke Lavin is a Research Engineer in the Grid Planning and Analysis Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

SUMMARY:Webinar: How NOAA Open Data Dissemination Weather Forecasts Are Boosting Grid Operations
DESCRIPTION:Download Simonson Presentation \nDownload Stuebe Presentation \nView Webinar Recording \nDownload Q& Responses \n\nFeatured Speakers: Adrienne Simonson\, Director\, NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination (NODD)\, and David Stuebe\, Software Engineer\, Camus Energy \nAbout the Webinar: For grid operators and planners managing the shift to large-scale renewable generation\, accurate weather forecasting is an increasingly essential tool. NOAA’s Open Data Dissemination (NODD) provides public access to weather forecast models that provide grid operators with an opportunity to incorporate more accurate and precise weather prediction data into real-time operations. In this webinar\, experts from NODD and Camus Energy will showcase how utilities are actively using these weather forecasts to improve peak demand management programs and inform real-time operations. They will also provide an overview of NODD\, including an introduction to all the NOAA environmental data available to the public\, as well as highlighting how utilities and technology providers can leverage these open source datasets to advance their understanding in climate adaptation\, resilience\, mitigation and sustainability efforts. \nAbout the Speakers:\nAdrienne Simonson is Director of NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD)\, under the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). In this role\, she leads strategic efforts for open data efforts\, and internal and external engagement across public\, private and academic enterprises. In prior roles\, Ms. Simonson has served NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information; the Office of Budget within the Department of Commerce; the Office of Budget within the Department of Interior; and as professional staffer for the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee\, on the Commerce\, Justice\, Science\, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. Ms. Simonson is a Presidential Management Fellow\, with a B.A. in Environmental Policy from Warren Wilson College; a Masters in Public Administration from the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Government; and a Juris Doctorate from UNC School of Law. \nDavid Stuebe is the forecast team lead for Camus Energy\, a grid orchestration software company for electric distribution utilities. With two decades of experience working with meteorological data and cloud computing\, David has helped Camus Energy build an industry leading grid forecasting product. David has a M.S. in geophysical fluid dynamics from the MIT WHOI Joint Program and a B.S. in Earth and Ocean Science from Duke University. \nModerator: Charlie Smith\, Executive Director\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
