First\, the status of the RER-integrated power system implementations in various parts of the US is discussed. Then\, ma jor challenges in the design and operation of 100% RER-based electric powe r systems are illustrated. Further\, the problems associated with maintain ing the stability of the grid while integrating RERs\, especially the angu lar\, voltage\, and frequency stability during normal operation\, outages\ , and restoration phases will be addressed. Topics such as short circuit a nalysis and protection coordination\, black start restoration\, grid resil ience\, reliability\, and electric vehicle integration will be some other key points of discussion. Then\, major mitigation methods to circumvent so me of the challenges to achieve a 100% RER-integrated electric grid are di scussed. This includes local control\, system-wide mitigation measures\, n etwork strengthening requirements\, and the addition of grid support resou rces such as battery energy sources. The talk concludes by illustrating th e critical areas that require immediate attention for the enhancement of t he grid to achieve 100% RER integration.\n\nBio\n\nSukumar Kamalasadan is a Professor and Distinguished Scholar of electric power engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and the Director of powe r energy and intelligent systems lab (PEISL) within the Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC) at UNCC. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toledo\, OH in 2004. His res earch interests include inverter-based resources modeling and integration\ , data-driven approaches to power grid modernization\, smart grid\, microg rid\, power system operation and optimization\, and power system dynamics\ , stability\, and control. Prof. Kamalasadan’s research for the last 20 years has resulted in tools and methods that have a high-level impact on e lectric utility modernization with a fleet-wide deployment of his tools th at enabled modern grid management and control towards 100% integration of renewable energy. His research work has secured more than $13M in grants a nd contracts notably from the US Department of Energy\, National Science F oundation (NSF)\, Siemens Energy\, Duke Energy Corporation\, Schweitzer En gineering Lab\, and several other industries. He is the chief architect of Duke Energy Smart Grid Laboratory at UNCC\, a $5M facility. Prof. Kamalas adan has co-authored more than 250 refereed journal and conference article s and has received several awards from IEEE and NSF including the National Science Foundation CAREER award. He has delivered more than 100 talks in the form of tutorials\, keynotes\, panels\, and webinars/workshops at vari ous international IEEE conferences.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee .org/m/428050 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428050 ORGANIZER: SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:DLP on "Can Modern Power Systems Achieve 100% Renewable Energy" URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428050 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 2. 0pt\; line-height: normal\;"><!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype\n id="_x0000 _t75" coordsize="21600\,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t"\n path="m@4 @5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">\n <v:stroke joinstyle="miter" />\n <v:formulas>\n <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/>\n <v:f eq n="sum @0 1 0"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHei ght"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/>\n <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/>\n <v:f eqn= "prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/>\n <v:f eqn="p rod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/>\n <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/>\n </v:formulas >\n <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/>\n <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/>\n</v:shapetype><v:shape id="Pictur e_x0020_2" o:spid="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t75"\n style='position:abso lute\;margin-left:0\;margin-top:0\;width:257.9pt\;height:145.2pt\;\n z-ind ex:251658240\;visibility:visible\;mso-wrap-style:square\;\n mso-width-perc ent:0\;mso-height-percent:0\;mso-wrap-distance-left:9pt\;\n mso-wrap-dista nce-top:0\;mso-wrap-distance-right:9pt\;\n mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0\;mso -position-horizontal:left\;\n mso-position-horizontal-relative:margin\;mso -position-vertical:absolute\;\n mso-position-vertical-relative:text\;mso-w idth-percent:0\;mso-height-percent:0\;\n mso-width-relative:margin\;mso-he ight-relative:margin'>\n <v:imagedata src="file:///C:/Users/SAMVI_~1/AppDa ta/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.jpg"\n o:title=""/>\n <w:wrap type="square" anchorx="margin"/>\n</v:shape><![endif]--><!-- [if !vml]--> <img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/837cb24b- 583a-435e-a08d-544318c12caf" width="344" height="194" align="left" hspace= "12"><!--[endif]--></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 2.0pt\ ; line-height: normal\;">DLP Speaker: <strong>Prof. Sukumar Kamalasadan</s trong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 2.0pt\; line-height : normal\;">DLP Topic: <strong>Can Modern Power System Achieve 100% Renewa ble Energy?</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 2.0pt \; line-height: normal\;">Date &amp\; Time:&nbsp\;<strong>9th August 2024\ , 14:00 to 15:00 BST</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bott om: 2.0pt\; line-height: normal\;">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp \;</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Abs tract</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">The presentation focuses on the c hallenges and opportunities of integrating renewable energy resources (RER s) into the power grid\, especially if and when can the modern power grid achieve 100% RER integration.
