DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we invite Dr. Xiaojie (Jane) Shi to give a te
 chnical talk on some of the major concerns arising from the integration of
  distributed energy resources (DER).\n\nToday\, DER such as solar photovol
 taic (PV) and battery storage play a significant role in the electric grid
 . As the penetration of these intermittent energy resources increases\, th
 ere is a concern that their variable power output and high-frequency injec
 tion may bring power quality challenges like flicker and harmonics to grid
 -served customers. In addition\, enabled by DER inverters\, it is possible
  for a portion of the grid to remain energized when not intended. This\, h
 owever\, can have serious consequences such as jeopardizing safety of line
  workers and the public\, exposure of utility equipment and controls not d
 esigned for islanded operation\, and risk of damaging DER inverters due to
  out-of-phase reclosing. This presentation will shed light on these concer
 ns\, and evaluate the impact of DER inverters on the traditional grid as w
 ell as their capabilities on the prevention of unintended islanding operat
 ion.\n\nBiography:\n\nXiaojie (Jane) Shi received her M.S. degree from Zhe
 jiang University\, Hangzhou\, China\, in 2011\, and Ph. D degree from the 
 University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, in 2015\, both in electrical enginee
 ring. She was a Research Assistant Professor with the University of Tennes
 see\, Knoxville\, from 2016 to 2017. Since 2017\, she has been an Engineer
 /Scientist II at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)\, Knoxville\
 , TN. Dr. Shi has authored/coauthored over 60 publications in internationa
 l conferences and journals\, two book chapters\, and five patents pending.
  Her research interests include integration of distributed energy resource
 s\, microgrid\, high power grid-connected converters\, and HVDC transmissi
 on systems.\n\nBldg: The Casual Pint Hardin Valley (Private Room)\, 10677
