DESCRIPTION:Our understanding of the classical reliability concepts of secu
 rity and adequacy is increasingly being challenged by: (a) growing shares 
 of inverter-based resources and variable renewable energy technologies tha
 t call for new operation and planning approaches\, particularly to deal wi
 th decreasing levels of inertia and system strength\, larger reserve requi
 rements\, and increasing volumes of distributed energy resources that are 
 not “visible” to the system operator\; and (b) the more frequent occur
 rence of extreme\, high-impact low-probability events (e.g.\, driven by cl
 imate change)\, with potentially catastrophic impacts.\n\nIn this IEEE PES
  Distinguished Lecture we will discuss how there is a need for introducing
  new analysis and modelling frameworks to deal with the increasing fragili
 ty of low-carbon grids and exposure to extreme events. The key desirable f
 eatures of such frameworks will be presented for both operation and planni
 ng and from both technical and economic/commercial perspectives\, along wi
 th metrics\, methodologies and modelling tools that can help make future s
 ystems more secure\, reliable and resilient.\n\nThe key question that will
  be asked is whether the grid should be made “stronger” (e.g.\, throug
 h component hardening)\, “bigger” (more redundant\, through investment
  in new transmission/generation asset) or “smarter” (through new techn
 ologies and operational practices).\n\nBesides different examples taken fr
 om the speaker’s several international projects in the area\, the South 
 Australia “Black System” event of September 2016\, the Australian syst
 em separation event of August 2018\, the UK demand disconnection event of 
 August 2019\, and the Texas power crisis of February 2021 will be taken as
  “textbook” case studies to practically illustrate some of the general
  concepts presented.\n\nAgenda: \n5:30 - 6:30 pm - Presentation\n\n6:30 -
