Featured Speakers: Jay Caspary, Vice President, Grid Strategies; Bruce Tsuchida, Principal, The Brattle Group
Webinar Abstract: How much renewable energy integration can Grid Enhancing Technologies accelerate in five years, and how much savings can that provide? More importantly, why aren’t we already using these technologies more widely on the grid? Answer these questions and more with Jay Caspary, Vice President of Grid Strategies, and Bruce Tsuchida, Principal at the Brattle Group.
Mr. Caspary and Mr. Tsuchida, both long-time members of ESIG, will discuss the methodology and findings of a new study that modeled dynamic line ratings, advanced topology control, and advanced power flow control on the Southwest Power Pool system focusing on Kansas and Oklahoma. Using the queue of projects with signed interconnection agreements and historical operational snapshots, this case study analysis shows that Grid Enhancing Technologies could double the amount of renewable generating capacity that could be integrated based on approved plans by 2025. Audience discussion will follow the presentations.
