DESCRIPTION:Many of you may remember that Jay Caspary was our distinguished
  speaker at the April 2019 West MI Section meeting held at Calvin College.
  He spoke on the DOE Funded SEAMS Study for tying the East and West power 
 grids together.\n\nIn this virtual presentation\, Jay will provide West Mi
 chigan Section members and guests an overview of the recent "Americans for
  a Clean Energy Grid” (ACEG) white paper outlining proposed changes at t
 he Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to refine their Order to im
 prove regional and interregional planning and cost allocation. In addition
 \, he will share the highlights and benefits of 22 major transmission proj
 ects which are ready to go\, many involving major HVDC links. Finally\, th
 e deployment of Grid-Enhancing Technologies (GETs) needs to be a bridge to
  the future decarbonized grid. The merits of GETs is demonstrated by a rec
 ent case study sponsored by the Working For Advanced Transmission Technolo
 gies (WATT) coalition to facilitate renewable integration based on approve
 d plans and projects stuck in the queue with signed generator interconnect
 ion agreements.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jay\, \n\nAgenda: \nVirtual Meeting via ZOO
