DESCRIPTION:IEEE PES Region 2 and Columbus Chapter are hosting a technical 
 webinar provided by PES Region 2 Representative\, Dr. Xuan Wu\, who is a P
 rincipal Engineer at AEP\, an IEEE Senior Member\, and a Professional Engi
 neer registered in Ohio\, and Prof. Antonio Conejo\, who is a Professor at
  OSU\, an IEEE Fellow\, an INFORMS Fellow\, and a PES Distinguished Lectur
 er. 1 PDH will be provided to qualified attendees.\n\nAbstract:\n\nBy enab
 ling the temporal displacement of energy production/consumption\, storage 
 brings flexibilities and potential benefits to power systems. At the distr
 ibution level\, a storage system can provide increased reliability\, savin
 gs due to the ability to defer infrastructure upgrades\, and potential rev
 enues through market participation – which leads to increased social wel
 fare.\n\nDespite the values of energy storage systems to a distribution sy
 stem\, there are a few challenges ahead of us. An effective regulatory and
  operational framework is needed to enable a fully-fledged integration in 
 the power system of distributed (behind-the-meter) and utility-scale stora
 ge systems. To ensure the financial viability of distribution networks tha
 t integrate a large number of prosumers and to guarantee high supply secur
 ity through an up-do-date distribution infrastructure\, a rate structure i
 s needed\, which would include a security component (perhaps dominant) and
  an energy component (perhaps non-dominant). In addition\, isolation devic
 e placements need to be studied in conjunction with energy storage unit pl
 acements to fulfill the benefit of reliability enhancement.\n\nThis webina
 r will give the audience an overview of how to optimally plan and operate 
 energy storage systems in a distribution network to maximize the benefits 
 while addressing the challenges.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE PES Region 2\n\n
