EnVision Forum

EnVision Forum 2021 is a joint event hosted with @FERC & @Virginia_Tech, focusing on the major #energy issues facing the American people.

[EPRI @EPRINews]

Thank you @FERC @virginia_tech for a great @EnVision_Forum

@EPRINews @Markmcgranaghan listed the 5 themes for the future of electrical energy systems:

1. Decarbonization
2. Markets
3. Transparency and Stakeholder Engagement
4. Energy System Coupling
5. Digitalization

At the end of Day 2, @FERChatterjee closing out the #EnVisionForum ... Thanks to @EnVision_Forum, @virginia_tech, all the speakers & the folks behinds the scenes 👍

An interesting 2 days. Now it's going to be hard to narrow all my notes down to just 3 takeaways for my summary🤔

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"How do we leapfrog & not just go the traditional way of going things ... Everyone is now talking about 'DERMS'. So are the #smartmeter vendors looking as 60sec interval data, not usual 15min... this is what we need to look at..."

Peter Muhoro from @RappElecCoop @EnVision_Forum

[Jeff Dennis @EnergyLawJeff]

Thanks @FERChatterjee + @virginia_tech for the opportunity to discuss the challenges + opportunities of electrifying transportation @EnVision_Forum. Grateful to this group of experts and visionaries for joining us! @RappElecCoop @evgonetwork @RockyMtnInst @delegatebagby @AEEnet

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

Now this is a good point ...👇

"The more complex and layered we make energy markets, the less the financial markets will like them ... to much uncertainty ... investment could be a challenge..."

@WannerBrent from @IEA at the @EnVision_Forum
#EnVisionForum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

The need to use more "Effective load carrying capability (ELCC)" right across the grid coming up in the #EnVisionPanel, plus having enough energy 'in reserve' to meet unforeseen consequences...

@EnVision_Forum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"We 'stress test' Banks today, to see how they can stand up to unforeseen circumstances... we need to 'stress test' our Energy Markets AND Energy Infrastructure as well ..."

Gordon Van Welie CEO @isonewengland at @EnVision_Forum

Now that's an interesting idea 🤔
#EnVisionForum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"The future is increasingly #electric ..."
@WannerBrent from @IEA at the @EnVision_Forum

Now look at the scale at the bottom, it's TwH.
That is A LOT of electricity, so a lot of challenges and opportunities ahead...

[Bryan Hannegan @bjhanneg]

@FERChatterjee @ClementsFERC @FERC @EnVision_Forum @holycrossenergy @JillEnergy @SCE @NREL @ElliotMainzer @California_ISO @Markmcgranaghan @EPRINews @DWMerfeld @GErenewables What a delightful conversation about the future of #SmartGrids with a world class panel of #cleanenergy experts! Thanks @ClementsFERC for the kind words and thanks @FERChatterjee FERChatterjee for the opportunity to facilitate this - hope you all enjoyed it!

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"Because of the change we're seeing in how 'devices' connect to the grid, mostly via #PowerElectronics ... our clean energy transition is a #Digital Transition...
And data is key ... as an example, how we use PMU data."

Matthew Gardner from @DominionEnergy at @Envision_Forum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

A overview of what actually happens during a 'frequency' event on the #Grid, all about the role of inertia, governors, invertors etc ... and how the less inertia, the faster the frequency drop and so on.

All this goes on behind the scenes to keep the lights on
@EnVision_Forum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"People are not aware of the amount of #PowerElectronics that we're now using in all sorts of devices in Generation, Transmission, Distribution, in home devices etc. All this has some issues around protection we need to address..."

Ben Kroposki at @NREL during @EnVision_Forum

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"We are also offering rebates for 2nd hand #eV sales. not just for new #eV purchases ... "

@JillEnergy at @SCE during @EnVision_Forum

IMO: That's cool 👍

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"Europe loves to use Markets ... with the next step brining Energy Community 'markets' together with the Whole Sale Markets ..."

@Markmcgranaghan at @EPRINews during @EnVision_Forum

FYI @Energy4Europe @ENTSO_E

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"In the US we have not been as agressive as #EU / China re #HVDC #Transmission Grid interconnectors ... we have to look at this ... the #EU is ahead in their ability to come together with intent."

@DWMerfeld at @GErenewables during @EnVision_Forum

FYI @Energy4Europe @ENTSO_E

[Kevin O'Donovan @Kevin_ODonovan]

"This summer in #California, we'll have 2000 MW of Li-Ion #EnergyStorage on the grid. So we'll see how the tech works, how the market reacts, how the IT/OT works etc etc, with plans for many other #EnergyStorage tech to follow."

Elliot Mainzer @California_ISO at @EnVision_Forum
