Various forces – social\, political\, economic\, regulatory and technolo gical – have conspired to create a climate that fosters the development and proliferation of numerous technologies that enable the conversion\, co ntrol and integration of renewable energy resources. Although the mix of r enewable resources is diverse\, ranging fromwind and solar to tidal and bi omass\, the bulk of today’s investments are going into wind and solar\, both of which are considered variable resources because they are available not upon demand\, but upon the whims of nature. This creates several chal lenges and opportunities in exploiting their benefits\, both when operatin g them in isolation and when operating them in coordination with other res ources.\n\nNumerous solutions have been proposed for mitigating the challe nges\, ranging from storage and transmission expansion to demand response and “smart grid” control technologies. This talk will discuss the most significant factors affecting energy assurance in the presence renewable generation. It will investigate the use of energy storage to mitigate some of the challenges. It will discuss reliability metrics and targets\, and a method for quantifying the notion of "firming" up an intermittent resour ce. Effects of resource availability and network constraints will be consi dered. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of another charact eristic ofrenewable resources – low inertia – and how it impacts syste m reliability\, and of ongoing research toward developing solutions for mi tigating these impacts.\n\nJoydeep Mitra (Ph.D.\, FIEEE) is Professor of E lectrical Engineering at Michigan State University\, East Lansing\, Direct or of the Energy Reliability & Security (ERiSe) Laboratory\, and Senior Fa culty Associate at the Institute of Public Utilities. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University\, College Station\, an d a B.Tech.(Hons.) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Tech nology\, Kharagpur. He has five years of industry and consulting experienc e ranging from power system hardware installation to modeling and simulati on of energy markets\, and twenty years of academic experience. Prof. Mitr a has conducted research in power system modeling\, analysis\, stability\, control\, planning and simulation\, and is known for his contributions to power system reliability analysis and reliability-based planning. He has over 200 publications and patents in the power systems area\; he is co-aut hor of the book\, "Electric Power Grid Reliability Evaluation: Models and Methods\," and of IEEE Standard 762\, a standard on reliability reporting. He is recipient of the 2019 IEEE-PES Roy Billinton Power System Reliabili ty Award. Prof. Mitra's research has been funded by the U.S. National Scie nce Foundation\, the U.S. Department of Energy\, U.S. National Laboratorie s\, and several electric utilities. Prof. Mitra is a Fellow of the IEEE an d an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He serves as an Editor for the IEEE Tran sactions on Power Systems and Power Engineering Letters\, and of the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications. In the past he has served as Chair of the IEEE-PES Analytic Methods for Power Systems Committee\, Chair of se veral IEEE-PES Subcommittees\, and as an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid.
