DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \nDownload Q&A \n\nFeatured Speakers: Parag Mitra\, Principal Technical Leader\, EPRI; Deepak Ramasubramanian\, Senior Technical Leader\, EPRI; Chengwen Zhang\, Engineer/Scientist III\, EPRI \nWebinar Abstract: Frequency performance is one of the major aspects for ensuring safe operation as the power industry moves toward a high renewable future. Understanding how the inverter-based resources change the frequency dynamics\, identifying potential regional inertia risks\, delivering IBR fast frequency response stably from various situations\, and eventually maintaining satisfactory frequency performance are critical for a safe and reliable transition to the high penetration systems. This webinar will introduce EPRI’s latest work on inertia regionalization analysis\, IBR frequency response stability screening\, and bulk power system frequency performance assessments for these goals. \nAbout the Speakers:\n \nDr. Parag Mitra is a Principal Technical Leader with the Electric Power Research Institute (USA)\, where he leads the research areas of power system modeling and model validation\, probabilistic long term transmission planning\, and integrated strategic system planning. Prior to joining EPRI\, Dr. Mitra served as an executive engineer at Siemens Energy (India) where he was responsible for managing and leading protection as control related projects for the high voltage and extra high voltage transmission systems. Dr. Mitra holds the PhD degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University (USA) and the BTech degree in electrical engineering from Malviya National Institute of Technology (India). Dr. Mitra is a senior member of IEEE. \nDeepak Ramasubramanian is currently a Senior Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). His work at EPRI includes development of new and improved mathematical models and processes\, for the large electric power system\, to represent the behavior of inverter interfaced generation sources\, and loads\, and evaluation and development of transmission planning criteria including uncertainty of sources and loads. \nChengwen (Ham) Zhang graduated from the University of Tennessee with his PhD in Electrical Engineering. He is currently an Engineer/Scientist with Electrical Power Research Institute.

SUMMARY:G-PST/ESIG Webinar: Diagnosis and Mitigation of Observed Oscillations in IBR-Dominant Power Systems: A Practical Guide
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\nNick Miller\nFeatured Speaker: Nick Miller\, Principal\, HickoryLedge LLC \nWebinar Abstract:  The increasing use of inverter-based resources (IBRs) has led to oscillations with a wider range of characteristics and root causes\, raising new issues and risks for power system operation and planning. This webinar will introduce this practical guide as a starting point for practitioners who encounter oscillatory behavior\, a sort of field guide or diagnostician’s assistant. This guide helps the user find out the cause of the oscillation\, what to do about it\, and where to go for more help. Consulting the guide is the first step that follows “I see an oscillation. What is it? What do I do about it?” Click here to visit the report page. \nAbout the Speaker: Nick Miller is an internationally known power system engineer\, with specialty in integration of wind and solar generation to bulk power systems. He consults and is currently conducting research on bulk grid stability for US ISOs and TOs.  He spent 3/8 of a century with GE.  He is an elected member of the US National Academy of Engineering\, an IEEE Life Fellow\, a NY P.E.\, and a Distinguished Member of CIGRE.  He authored 20 US patents\, has over 180 publications with over 8000 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: Charlie Smith\, Principal Consultant\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.

SUMMARY:2024 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:  \nMembers of the ESIG O&M Users Group are invited to attend the 2024 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor in Boston\, MA. \nThe meeting will feature a pre-meeting workshop\, plenary session and manufacturer-specific roundtables – including a number of NEW sessions (additional details will be shared soon!). 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 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 \n  \nAbout the Pre-Meeting Workshop\nDIY Conditions-based Monitoring\nHas the acronym – CBM – ever caused you some headache? If so\, join us for this fall’s Pre-Meeting Workshop on Monday\, September 23! During our DIY CBM workshop\, our friends at Pattern Operators and ONYX Insight will share lessons learned from their own condition-based monitoring experiences on how to choose the right method and discuss the challenges of implementing different paths. \nAbout the Opening Plenary\nLatest Perspectives on Repowering\nJoin us for an insightful\, informative\, and useful plenary session on repowering! Hear from your colleagues on lessons learned\, what to do\, and what not to do when it comes to the nuts and bolts of repowering projects.  You will hear from experienced voices with different perspectives on repowering their sites\, including full and partial repowering.  You’ll hear about challenges\, experiences\, and solutions from construction through commissioning\, including integration of parts from one OEM to another. Bring your interest and questions and you’ll get answers and more. \nAbout the Roundtables\nThe heart of the meeting consists of manufacturer-specific roundtables for user group members only.

SUMMARY:Webinar: DER Management & Implementation Use-Cases - We Can Control DERs\, Now What?
DESCRIPTION:View Webinar Recording \nDownload Presentation \n\nCody Davis\nFeatured Speaker: Cody Davis\, Senior Principal Engineer\, Distribution & Grid Modernization\, Electric Power Engineers \nWebinar Abstract: Recent changes to inverter interoperability capabilities for IEEE 1547-2018 and UL 1741 SB compliance have further reduced barriers to utilities communicating with and controlling DER. Utilizing such features to gather actual data on DER system performance and modify DER real and reactive power performance in response to changing grid conditions can provide significant value to both utilities and DER owners. Understanding how these capabilities can be utilized to improve distribution planning and operational outcomes is critical to developing a strategy for DER Management and developing a business case for DER Management System (DERMS) deployment. This presentation will identify the value drivers and utility process improvements that can be achieved using the DER communications and control capabilities to support the distribution system. \nAbout the Speaker: Cody Davis is a power systems engineer with 10 years of experience with a focus on distribution system planning and the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on the distribution system. He also has experience working with a wide variety of utility and public stakeholders on a range of emerging\, complex technical\, operational\, and regulatory issues and has authored reports or testimony publicly filed in several states including Illinois\, Minnesota\, Iowa\, Pennsylvania\, and Maine. \nModerator: Matt Schuerger\, Senior Fellow\, ESIG \nRegistration Cost: FREE \nQ&A Session: We will be using the Slido platform for Q&A.
