Live support chatThe Energy Control Center of the Future (Webinar)
Credit: 2 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Ahmed Mousa, PhD
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In The Energy Control Center of the Future, you'll learn ...
- Various system operations’ challenges
- Familiarization with transmission and distribution systems
- Familiarization with distributed energy resources at a high level
Overview
The energy system is going through a massive transformation and digitalization phase, to meet political and customer demands, such as:
- Building smart grids,
- Transportation electrification (electric vehicles, vehicle 2 home grid),
- Building electrification (converting gas heating to electric heating),
- Cybersecurity,
- Transactive energy,
- And accommodating distributed energy resources, i.e. solar, onshore, offshore wind, and energy storage.
Several governors, commissioners, cities, states, and the U.S. as a whole have set goals to achieve 100% clean or renewable energy by 2050 or sooner.
The utility world is split on the stability and reliability of the future grid, where senior engineers and energy control center operators argue that the future system is not promising due to the lack of large power plants. This lack results in a much weaker system inertia when compared to the current system.
Also, the intermittent nature of renewables is another major issue that must be addressed. The importance of advanced system operations for the success of the future grid cannot be overstated.
Various energy storage types, stacking options, the difference between DSOs and TSOs, and various management systems, i.e. GMS, EMS, DMS, DERMS, ADMS, etc, will be discussed.
