DESCRIPTION:[]FAMU-FSU College of Engineering &amp; IEEE Tallahassee Section\, 
 PES Chapter\, LMAG Joint Technical Seminar\n\nTitle: Impact of New Technol
 ogies on Power System Planning\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Visvakumar Aravinthan\, Pro
 fessor and Ward-Jewell Energy Faculty Fellow\, Department of Electrical an
 d Computer Engineering\, Wichita State University\n\nDate: Friday\, June 6
 \, 2025\, 15:00 – 16:00\n\nLocation: CAPS Seminar Room 120 (2000 Levy Av
 enue\, Building A\, Tallahassee\, FL 32310)\n\nAbstract\n\nRecent advancem
 ents in energy technologies\, AI-powered data centers\, and machine learni
 ng-driven decision-making are reshaping the landscape of electric power gr
 ids\, presenting both new opportunities and significant challenges. For ex
 ample\, a utility in Midwest US\, has a peak load of 1000MW is expecting n
 early 3500MW load from AI based data centers within the next 3 years. Out 
 of the many challenges one of the areas that are less investigated but see
 ing significant impact is resource inadequacy and transmission planning. K
 ey concerns include long-term planning impacted by unobservable and non-di
 spatchable generation\, the rise of hybrid behind-the-meter generation\, a
 nd the substantial energy demands of AI-based data centers\, which can imp
 act system reliability and alter transmission line utilization.\n\nTo navi
 gate these complexities\, electric utilities must explore innovative solut
 ions beyond conventional approaches. This talk presents findings from indu
 stry-university collaborative research\, with a focus on transmission plan
 ning. Specifically\, it will address three critical issues: (i) challenges
  in accurately determining the effective value of renewable generation\; (
 ii) the impact of emerging grid-edge resources on transmission infrastruct
 ure and strategies to prevent unplanned line degradation\; and (iii) the r
 ole of line resistance estimation in supporting system operations and reli
 ability. This work is driven by the issues observed by mid-west electric u
 tilities.\n\nThe discussion will conclude by highlighting a key research c
 hallenge in future transmission planning aimed at enhancing reliability qu
 antification to ensure a resilient and adaptive power grid.\n\nSpeaker(s):
