Energy Systems Innovation Center presents Monitoring, Analysis and Mitigation of Oscillations in Power Systems by Evangelos Dr. Farantatos, Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI)
This presentation will summarize recent EPRI’s work on the topic of oscillations mitigation and control.
Ben Beres, a Seattle-based artist, explores countless creative pursuits through a diverse range of artistic media including installations, public works, performance, glass art, and printmaking, and he will be giving an artist talk on Thursday, October 12th at 4:30PM in the Fine Arts Auditorium. A small reception will follow the presentation.
Come see what’s new and exciting in the Department of Art! Take a studio tour, learn something new, and of course, see all kinds of art and meet our graduate students and faculty.
Demonstrations and performances will happening throughout the night and across the whole building. Every gallery will be full, featuring faculty, graduate, and undergraduate artwork. All are welcome and encouraged to join in!
Advance Grid Institute (AGI) presents App Deconfliction: Orchestrating Distributed, Multi-Agent, Multi-Objective Operations for Power Systems by Dr. Andrew Reiman, PNNL
This presentation will discuss the deconfliction pipeline used to consistently set up and solve the deconfliction problem as well as heuristic-, application-engagement-, and optimization-based solutions to the deconfliction problem.
The increased integration of renewable Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) such as wind, solar, and battery storage in the bulk power system leads to challenges for reliable operation of system protection. Traditionally, protective relays have been designed and set with the expectation of high fault currents and dynamic behavior dominated by synchronous generators. Short circuit analysis tools and models have also been developed over several decades around these assumptions. Nevertheless, these assumptions may no longer hold under IBRs, due to the different short circuit and dynamic characteristics of these resources.
Introductions can feel like the most perplexing section of a research article to write. From what counts as relevant context to where to place an argument and how many citations to include, the first paragraphs require you to make many decisions to best prepare your readers for the rest of your paper. This workshop will lead you through one of the most effective ways to improve your writing: reading.
In this presentation, we will discuss some innovative methods to analyze and visualize protection system behavior in this changing operational environment. A technique to include the behavior of the grid in standard protection studies will be presented. While geared towards interconnected transmission systems, these methods are applicable for distribution systems as well and the presentation will include some examples of such studies. Compliance with regulatory requirements and documentation are a natural byproduct of these analyses.
