🔍EnerNex is excited to attend the IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting🔎 Here’s a deep dive into the panel that Jens Schoene is chairing: 🌟Distribution System State Estimation from Utility Perspective: Practical Challenges, Solutions, and Benefits. 7/25, 8:00 AM-10:00 AM, Room 439🌟 A Distribution System State Estimator (DSSE) provides situational awareness to operators and Smart Grid applications. These applications include: Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) ▪ Circuit Re-Configuration ▪ Volt-Var Optimization (VVO) ▪ Optimal #PowerFlow (OPF) ▪ Circuit-phase and topology identifications Many electrical utilities are in the process of implementing DSSE and #SmartGrid applications as part of their grid modernization effort to improve reliability and asset utilization, avoid problems caused by Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and predict load response to market or other signals. This panel reports on utilities’ experiences with these #GridModernization efforts, focusing on the successes and challenges with integrating DSSE in operational tools to support Smart Grid applications. #PowerQuality #EnerNex #RenewableEnergy #IEEEPES #PowerEngineering

The IEEE Industry Standards and Technology Organization (ISTO), an international federation of groups and consortia dedicated to the advancement of standardized technologies for the benefit of industry, announced formation of the Universal Interoperability for Grid-Forming Inverters (UNIFI) Consortium. The UNIFI Consortium is a U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded effort to advance grid-forming (GFM) inverter technology, officially forming as an unincorporated 501c6 not for profit with ISTO. UNIFI aims to facilitate the transition of electric power grids around the world to accommodate grid-forming technology across all power levels. “The UNIFI Consortium is tackling the challenge of making sure that large power systems are capable of integrating as much wind, solar, batteries, and other inverter- based resources as possible while maintaining the operational stability, reliability, and resilience of the grid,” said Ben Kroposki, NREL, UNIFI Consortium Organizational Director. The UNIFI team brings together researchers, industry stakeholders, utilities, and system operators to collaboratively pursue advances in a broad range of GFM technologies, led by DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), The University of Texas – Austin, and EPRI. UNIFI intends to cultivate and foster a culture of engagement and innovation by bringing together expertise across technology sectors to identify and fill gaps in technologies, business models, standards, and human factors. #electricgrid #gridforminginverters #renewableenergy #gridresilience #gridreliability #ieee #nrel #epri #unifi #usdoe

The 2024 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference & Exposition had over 13,750 registrations and 850+ exhibitors, meeting or exceeding the expectations of most the participants. This are our key takeaways: ➡️ Load growth in 10- and 15-year forecasts is 1.6%, driven by 100 MW+ data centers and EV. Energy efficiency and distributed solar reduce load growth by .5% (Ken Seiler, PJM). And it is expected higher occurrence of severe weather events (Catherine Stempien, Avangrid). ➡️ The current power line rating methodology is Static Line Rating (SLR) but FERC Order 881 Mandates Ambient Adjusted Ratin (AAR) by July 2025. ARR will provide an average 10-12% ampacity increase in US, but if Dynamic Line Rating methodology would result in a better ampacity increase of 25-40% (Eran Inbar, Prisma Photonics). ➡️ With a long pipeline of large-scale 1 GW+ greenfield projects, green Hydrogen is the star gas of the moment (Kevin Ludwig, Black&Veatch). On the opposite side, there is a global trend towards a SF6-free future (Peter Grossmann, RCM Energy Services and Billy Lao, DILO Company Inc). Vacuum and Pure Air (Mario Haim, Schneider) are suitable technologies for medium voltage GIS solutions, but there’s no SF6 alternative for high voltage GIS projects. ➡️ There is a clear tendency towards mobile solutions, such as complete GIS breaker bays on trailers for temporary use during construction and for service restoration (Bobby Rich, Dominion Energy) and transportable and mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (Danilo Derick, Cemig and Farid Katiraei, Innoversa). #engineeringoforthefuture

onsemi has released nine new EliteSiC Power Integrated Modules (PIMs) that enable bidirectional charging for DC ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) chargers and energy storage systems (ESS). These silicon carbide-based solutions can reduce size by up to 40% and weight by up to 52% compared to traditional silicon-based IGBT solutions. The PIMs offer more robustness and dependability, ensuring consistent operations, and use the Gen3 M3S SiC MOSFET technology, which offers the lowest switching losses and highest efficiency in the industry. The modules support key topologies such as multi-level T-type neutral point clamp (TNPC), half-bridge, and full-bridge topologies, and support scalable output power from 25 kW to 100 kW, enabling multiple DC fast charging and energy storage systems platforms, including bidirectional charging. The PIMs are designed to deliver high power density in energy infrastructure, EV DC fast charging, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). #onsemi #McKinseyElectronics #EVChargingSolutions

As Elon Musk said recently of his space mission, rocket science is the easy bit: working out how best to manufacture the rocket is an order of magnitude more difficult. In similar vein, the internal combustion engine was invented many years before Henry Ford and Frederick Taylor developed the factory system which enabled the mass production of motor cars and democratised car travel. Sheffield is known the world over as the place that makes quality products. Hence Made in Sheffield. Dennis may be a bean counter, but he seems to have drunk deeply at the manufacturing knowledge well of Ford/Taylor. He has been laser like in cutting potential product lines and identifying just two core deliverables. As a result, what not so long ago was an empty cathedral, full of hope and ambition but all but empty of shop floor activity and product, is today humming to a very different tune. Green hydrogen has a future in a net zero world, but how big a market and who will command it, is beyond the grasp of scientists and economists. It’s now in the hands of manufacturers like ITM Power and Dennis Schulz to make it affordable, deliverable and indispensable. What role, one wonders, can the AMRC play in helping their near neighbours ITM become more productive and innovative? Under Keith Ridgway the AMRC revolutionised jet engine manufacturing with record breaking cutting times for titanium. Twice becoming Boeing’s global supply chain partner of the year. Can his successor, Steve Foxley, who is so passionate about climate change and sustainability, do the same for hydrogen and “clean tech” which South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority now claims is home to the UK’s largest manufacturing cluster.
