The increasing percentage of distributed energy resources (DERs) brings a degree of uncertainty in bulk power system planning and operations. Additionally, it introduces an element of uncertainty with regard to distribution planning and operations, especially with regard to the dynamic behavior of DERs in juxtaposition with the behavior of induction motors. Legacy interconnection standards such…

If you follow ESIG conferences and webinars you will find some themes and ideas that run through many of the presentations: Power systems can operate reliably with high penetrations of variable energy sources. Certain ways of operating and planning power systems work well with renewables, and those ways are pretty different from the traditional industry…

The planet’s current energy system based on fossil fuel–derived energy has come with unwanted environmental impacts, largely driven by emissions that impact climate and local air and water quality. As society drives toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy system, the cost improvements and scale of wind and solar energy are enabling an economically viable transition…
