Presentation

ESIC-AGI FA22 Power Seminar Series: Grid Control Challenges: Reliability and Resiliency

Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building
Room 26 -- ESIC Conference Room

About the event

Energy Systems Innovation Center and Advanced Grid Institute present “Grid Control Challenges” by Dr. Anjan Bose, Regents Professor and Distinguished Professor of Electric Power Engineering at Washington State University.

Overview

The electric grid will be facing many challenges as the generation mix on the grid changes from mainly fossil fuel to all non-carbon resources. The control and operation challenges are:

Automatic control: Both AGC and Voltage Control will depend on distribution side generation or storage resources

Manual control: Maintaining generation reserve, adjusting voltage set-points and changing topology will require TSO-DSO coordination

Protection: Distribution protection has to handle two-way flow; Distributed generation will require fault ride-through and protection from oscillations
