Grid Controller of India Limited’s Post

As our webinar about virtual power plants approaches, we now turn over the controls 🎮 to you. What questions about VPPs would YOU like answered in our discussion? VPPs can be a bit of an enigma: They sound like a tenable solution for integrating renewables as well as demand response into the grid but naturally, there are barriers that can stand in the way. To leap over them and find financial success, VPP operators and investors must strategize effectively with each other. 🤝 Luckily, Commodity Technology Advisory LLC and narrativio GmbH are hosting a webinar to dispel misconceptions and provide the hard facts about VPPs. Whether you want to start a VPP, invest in one, have tech that helps VPP operators, or are just curious, come join us and get your questions answered!  🎟️ Make sure to sign up for free now, and we will save a virtual seat for you on April 17, 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT. Register now: https://lnkd.in/d2j4RDne Do you already have some questions about VPPs in mind? Post your queries below and we will make sure to answer them during the webinar. 👇 #VPP #demandresponse #gridflexibility #energytransition #VPPfactfiction

❗ Attention Resource Entities with Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) and Wind-powered Generation Resources (WGRs) in Texas! ❗ 🌡 ERCOT Urges Swift Implementation of Ride-Through Enhancements In response to critical reliability risks posed by ride-through failures, ERCOT is calling on Resource Entities to expedite the implementation of protection system enhancements and other improvements. These measures, based on insights from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), aim to maximize frequency and voltage ride-through capability, bolstering the stability of our energy grid. ✅ Action Required: Resource Entities are requested to report their implementation plans (including schedules) by August 1, 2024, ensuring swift action to enhance system resilience. ERCOT will provide additional instructions by July 1, 2024. ⚠ Key Insights: Despite ongoing discussions surrounding NOGRR 245, stakeholders agree on the urgent need to implement these enhancements to mitigate reliability issues. 🚀 Further Details: For full details and requirements, refer to Planning Guide Revision Request (PGRR) 109 and the associated guidelines. 👉 As you navigate the implementation process, our team at GridTech Solutions LLC is here to provide support and expertise. Let's work together to ensure a resilient and stable energy grid for Texas#ERCOT #RenewableEnergy #GridResilience #TexasEnergy Source: https://lnkd.in/gftVkMQB

In our recent publication “Understanding the ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service (ECRS): From Pricing Dynamics to Storage Dispatch Behavior” we explain why ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service (ECRS), ERCOT's latest ancillary service, provides a valuable opportunity for storage operators and why operators need more sophisticated operating and bidding strategies to maximize revenue.    Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/3UZHdId #energytransition #energystorage #energymarkets #energyanalytics #ercot #ecrs

Join us for a free webinar Feb 21 introducing the LF Energy TROLIE Project, which aims to establish an open conformance standard and cultivate a software ecosystem to accelerate the implementation of reliable, secure, and interoperable systems for the exchange of transmission facility ratings and related information. With FERC Order 881 being implemented next year in the United States, most organizations involved in the operation of the transmission system in North America now need to exchange ratings and related information in an automated, frequent manner. This project will help accelerate their implementation and simplify interoperability. This webinar will provide a technical introduction as well as "how to" content from the perspective of TROLIE's primary users - reliability coordinators and transmission owners. https://hubs.la/Q02jdvbg0 #lfenergy #energy #utilities #trolie #ferc881 #tso #energytransition #decarbonization #climatetech #transmission #powergrid

Quick and easy to digest read about energy demand and ERCOT. In a nutshell demand > supply. RPower helps alleviate this grid strain by partnering w/ others also interested in keeping the lights on when we need it most... "While the evolution of demand in ERCOT is, by itself, enough to raise concerns about the future of resource adequacy, there has also been inadequate investment in dispatchable sources of generation in ERCOT — leading to greater overall system instability. In fact, ERCOT loads have been increasingly in excess of dispatchable generation capacity in both frequency and quantity since 2018. In 2023 alone, load exceeded dispatchable generation capacity for over 1,000 hours. This raises the risk of resource inadequacy and has coincided with an increase in ERCOT conservation notices and energy emergency alerts. There is also a general geographic inconsistency between load growth and generation capacity investment across ERCOT. This is not likely to self-correct, given that the drivers of load growth are centered around new industrial activity and population growth in high-load areas in the Texas Triangle — the urban megaregion consisting of the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio metropolitan areas."

Sound familiar?    The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) is seeking FERC approval for a new plan to strengthen grid reliability. MISO cites increasing demands and shrinking reserve margins as reasons for the proposal.  As reported in a brief in Utility Dive, “The Midcontinent Independent System Operator on Thursday asked federal regulators to approve a capacity accreditation methodology that aims to better account for how much different resources bolster grid reliability during stressed periods.”   Back in February, Peter Hartley, Ken Medlock, and Shih Yu (Elsie) Hung published a report focused on ERCOT about this very issue. Reliability is about balancing the market during high-stress periods. This makes controllability, or dispatchability, of resources a high priority issue.   What can be done to enhance reliability?

So, to go with the WA DER (Distributed Energy Roadmap) it appears there is going to be a NCERR - a National Consumer Energy Resources Roadmap. *sigh* It's likely that the majority of their requirements and findings will be stopped by the rabbit-proof fence (or an ESB implementation requirement), but there are a couple that I hope make it through... # technical regulatory settings for consumer energy resources; # “one body” to take responsibility for setting DER technical standards; and # V2G enablement I suppose we'll know more in February... #DER #NCERR #CER #WA #WEM https://lnkd.in/gjcrhhg5
