With increasing interest in utilizing wind power to meet the electricity demand, a lot of research has been done to accommodate a large penetration of wind power in the system. But many questions are still open.  The uncertain nature of wind power influences power system operation in various aspects including unit dispatch, market design, ancillary service procurement etc.  This panel is to continue identifying the potential impact of high penetration of wind power on power system operations and propose possible solutions.  The panelists from universities, national labs and system operators will bring together their viewpoints and practical experiences on integrating wind power into the system. The role of wind power forecasting, unit commitment with wind power and experiences from ISOs will be discussed.

The emission and electricity markets are strongly intertwined.  The fluctuation of emission prices will add uncertainty in the operational decisions in the electricity market.  On the other hand, the amount of emission from generation will influence the transactions in the emission market. This panel is to investigate the interactions between the emission and electricity markets. By modeling different market mechanisms, the potential outcome of certain market design can be modeled. The impact of emission trading system on market prices and clearing, market equilibrium in the electricity market and the associated long-term investment under uncertainty will be investigated.

In some cases, customers derive considerable advantage from the operation of local micro-grids with local generation, end user loads, control and protection capabilities, and sometimes supported by various forms of energy storage.  This panel session will discuss the future direction of technologies that can facilitate off-grid to on-grid transitions at low voltage level, essentially forming deliberate electrical islands under certain operating conditions.  Advantages of higher reliability and improved real-time interaction can be realized.  The panel, consisting of current researchers on such enabling technologies, will discuss in detail a wish list, a road map, and technologies of enablers of Customer Driven Microgrids.

*SG*  Smart Grid: PES Activity Update and Orientation

Sponsored by:    Power & Energy Society

Chair:                 E. Gunther, Enernex

 

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 directed the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop a roadmap to achieving a high degree of standards based systems interoperability for a Smart Grid.  Originally unfunded, NIST has recently received the necessary funding to accelerate this effort.  This session will summarize the work to date on the NIST roadmap development, summarize relevant IEEE standards in supporting a Smart Grid, review examples of Smart Grid applications, and look forward to how the IEEE can play a major role in developing the new standards and best practices needed to support developing and deploying a smarter, interoperable grid.

*SG*  Workshop on Distributed Energy Resources

Sponsored by:    Power & Energy Society

Chair:                 D. Houseman, Capgemini

 

The Smart Grid Coordinating Committee would like to invite attendees to join us after the super session to help with data gathering on Distributed Energy Resources (DER).  The information collected in the session will be used as inputs to the NIST, DOE Modern Grid, CEATI, and EPRI research programs.  The session will be jointly facilitated by PES, EPRI, and CEATI. The goal of the session is to gather DER benefits, barriers and regional issues from around the world. This session will serve as the basis for work by the Smart Grid Coordinating Committee and others for building research programs, outreach and potentially standards activities.
