Generator Testing and Model Validation for Grid Code Compliance

Sponsored by:    Power System Dynamic Performance Committee

Chair:                 P. Pourbeik, EPRI

 

This panel has six presentations that relate to the testing and model validation of power plant equipment for the purpose of grid code compliance. In North America NERC is imminently putting into effect standards that will govern the requirement to periodically validate models associated with power plant equipment. WECC has had similar standards in effect since 1997. Presentation will be given on the imminent NERC standards, the experience of WECC with generator testing and model validation in the past decade, by international presenters on experience with grid code compliance for modeling overseas, and on the need for model validation and the various ways to achieve this goal. Ample time will be reserved at the end of the presentations for a group discussion with the panelists.  Generation owners, system planners and system operators are highly encouraged to attend to take part in this important and timely consultation on the subject of power plant model validation.

Control Center Issues

Sponsored by:    Power System Operations Committee

Chair:                 E. Dobrowolski, NERC

 

The Control Center Issues session is designed to provide a forum for topical discussions of anything and everything having to do with utility control centers and their operation.  This session is provided at every general meeting and is the centerpiece for control center discussion at IEEE PES.

 

The program this year is wide ranging and covers several different aspects of control center operations: training and evaluation of operators, EMS architecture, regulatory impacts on control centers, and experiences/lessons learned from massive flooding of an area.

 

At the conclusion of the formal presentations, the audience will be asked to provide any pertinent information from their control center operations that may be of value to the meeting attendees. The session will end with a planning discussion to begin work on the session for GM10.

*SG*  Transmission Planning with Wind Generators

Sponsored by:    Power System Planning and Implementation Committee

Chair:                 A. A. Chowdhury, California ISO

 

Recently wind power generation has seen increasing utilization throughout the world.  Wind power, however, possesses quite different characteristics than that of conventional generation sources due to its intermittent and non-dispatchable nature.  Wind generators are normally considered as energy resources rather than capacity resources in system planning and operating purposes. The capacity benefit of wind power, however from system reliability performance standpoint is highly dependent on many factors related to wind itself, such as the wind regime at the site locations, the wind penetration level, and the correlation between multiple wind farms in a system as well as the correlation between wind speed and system load profiles. As a result, wind power generation poses significant challenges to system planners and operators. This panel session deals with a number of system planning and operating issues associated with wind generators. The panel brings in academia and practicing engineers to discuss different wind modeling and application challenges in increased wind penetration environment.

Solving Major Challenges in Transmission Asset Investment in Competitive Environment

Sponsored by:    Power System Planning and Implementation Committee

Chairs:               A. A. Chowdhury, California ISO

                         G. Gross, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

 

The panel will address many challenges that arise in the area of transmission investment for expanding and improving the grid.  The management of uncertainty, an inherent characteristic of any planning activity, is far more complex and complicated in the new competitive environment than under the traditional vertically integrated structure.  The need for effective incentives to stimulate investment is a major requirement.  The growth in the addition of renewable and distributed energy resources and their integration into the grid poses myriad challenges.  The uncertainty in the regulatory climate is another important barrier.  The panel brings together participants and academic experts in the transmission investment area to explore and discuss the challenging problems faced and the approaches proposed and in use for addressing them. The panel will consider the technical, operational, technology application, environmental, economic and policy aspects of the issues in transmission investment.

Generation and Transmission Planning Tools in the Deregulated Paradigm

Sponsored by:    Power System Planning and Implementation Committee

Chair:                 S. Varadan, KEMA Inc.

 

With the advent of deregulation, the role of transmission planning has become even more critical in ensuring that the “lights stay on.” While in the past, transmission planning was effectively carried out in a vertically integrated utility paradigm where accurate load forecasts and generation plans were readily available, deregulation has brought about profound changes. For one, transmission planning is done by multiple entities now and needs a coordinated approach to solving the problem of meeting regional demand.  Thus the “Plan Global, Build Local” paradigm is becoming increasingly common.  This has led to the present situation where tools that facilitate Integrated Resource Planning in the context of deregulated energy markets are becoming popular.  In this panel session, we will focus on issues related to the following: 1) What resources do transmission planners need access to?  2) What functionality is needed in software tools to aid the transmission planner?  3) What “new” tools need to be developed to assist with these new requirements?  4) What are the data requirements of such planning tools? 5) Who are the vendors that provide such solutions?  6) What are the significant features of these software solutions? How do they meet the planner’s needs?
