November 16-17, 2021 | Virtual
The U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) hosted a webinar series focused on SETO-funded projects on modeling and analysis of power systems transients and dynamics for electric grids with high levels of distributed solar generation.
The fast time-scale behaviors of bulk-power systems and distribution networks can interact with one another, changing their effects on the electric grid. This makes it important to understand the transient and dynamic behavior of the fully integrated grid system. Increasing levels of behind-the-meter (BTM) electricity generation, storage, and controllable variable loads make the need for accurate simulations of these complex systems more important than ever.
Two half-day webinars featured state-of-the-art research by SETO awardees in modeling and analyzing the transient and dynamic behaviors of different elements of the electric power grid, including load and distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) generation. The webinars also featured keynote speakers from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), as well as question and answer sessions. Slides from the webinar participants are linked in the agenda below.
