Webinar: Approaching Regional Inertia and Fast Frequency Stability Screening Methods in High Renewable Systems
September 10, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT
Featured Speakers: Parag Mitra, Principal Technical Leader, EPRI; Deepak Ramasubramanian, Senior Technical Leader, EPRI; Chengwen Zhang, Engineer/Scientist III, EPRI
Webinar Abstract: Frequency performance is one of the major aspects for ensuring safe operation as the power industry moves toward a high renewable future. Understanding how the inverter-based resources change the frequency dynamics, identifying potential regional inertia risks, delivering IBR fast frequency response stably from various situations, and eventually maintaining satisfactory frequency performance are critical for a safe and reliable transition to the high penetration systems. This webinar will introduce EPRI’s latest work on inertia regionalization analysis, IBR frequency response stability screening, and bulk power system frequency performance assessments for these goals.
About the Speakers:
Dr. Parag Mitra is a Principal Technical Leader with the Electric Power Research Institute (USA), where he leads the research areas of power system modeling and model validation, probabilistic long term transmission planning, and integrated strategic system planning. Prior to joining EPRI, Dr. Mitra served as an executive engineer at Siemens Energy (India) where he was responsible for managing and leading protection as control related projects for the high voltage and extra high voltage transmission systems. Dr. Mitra holds the PhD degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University (USA) and the BTech degree in electrical engineering from Malviya National Institute of Technology (India). Dr. Mitra is a senior member of IEEE.
Deepak Ramasubramanian is currently a Senior Technical Leader at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). His work at EPRI includes development of new and improved mathematical models and processes, for the large electric power system, to represent the behavior of inverter interfaced generation sources, and loads, and evaluation and development of transmission planning criteria including uncertainty of sources and loads.
Chengwen (Ham) Zhang graduated from the University of Tennessee with his PhD in Electrical Engineering. He is currently an Engineer/Scientist with Electrical Power Research Institute. His research includes power system inertia and frequency dynamics, PMU based controls and data analytics, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, and microgrid operations and control.
