ESIC SP25 Power Seminar Series ~ Challenges for Decarbonizing the Grid by Dr. Anjan Bose
WSU Pullman - Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building

Energy Systems Innovation Center (ESIC) hosts Modeling and Control of Multi-Phase Electric Machines: Advancing Transportation Electrification presented live by our very own Professor Anjan Bose
Overview
This is a roundtable discussion rather than a presentation. Let us explore some of the difficult steps that need to be taken in moving towards more renewable energy. The challenges depend on geography, the physical structure of the grid, the availability of generation resources, the regulatory structure, and many other factors. For a large country as the USA these factors vary widely and so will the solutions. Looking across the world, these factors multiply exponentially which is why the meetings of the nations to discuss a world strategy, known as the COP annual meetings, have agreed on very little.

ESIC SP25 Power Seminar Series ~ Evolution of Grid Operation and Control by Dr. Anjan Bose
WSU Pullman - Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Building

The digitalization of grid operation and control occurred in the 1960s with the hard wired measurement, communication and control being replaced by digital measurements and control signals being communicated on microwave channels. Thes SCADA-AGC systems were further augmented with analytical applications to develop the complete EMS in the 70s. These EMS have evolved into very large systems because of the continuing development of computation and communications. With the cost reductions of digitalization, these grid operation and control technologies are now being applied to the distribution systems and operator training.
