Grid Reliability and its Vital Signs - IEEE Distinguished Lecturer
IEEE Distinguished Lecturer: "Grid Reliability and its Vital Signs"
The IEEE PES/IAS/PEL Chapter will be serving pizza and snacks, as well as 0.2 CEUs for those who are interested through IEEE.
PERSHING VENUE INFORMATION
Please Park in Parking Garage, on the ramp leading to the second floor or higher. You will need to use the phone at the entrance to the garage to talk with the guard, please do not tailgate in behind another vehicle. We are in the Engineering Building, which is the downhill (west) side of the parking garage, the side with the elevator. When you reach the building you will have to speak with the guard again via the phone, and upon entry the guard will ask to see a government issued ID. Depending on the security level the guard may search your bag.

Jessica Bian
Grid Reliability and its Vital Signs
Frequency, voltage, customer interruption. What do these vital signs tell us about the bulk power system? Learn the grid health underlying the vital signs and how to accurately assess them. This lecture will explore reliability aspects of bulk power system so that you will develop a systematic, integrated understanding of how to assess the bulk power system reliability. Additional indicators include energy emergency alerts, transmission outage rates, protection system operations, and resource reserve margin. The presentation will also provide ranges, trends, and driving factors that influence changes in these indicators.
Biography:
Dr. Jessica Bian is a visionary leader and architect. She has spearheaded electric industry's reliability metrics and grid risk assessment. Currently she is the Vice President of Grid Services at Grid-X Partners. Before that, she was with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Washington, DC. Previously, she was the Director of Performance Analysis at North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Under her leadership, a total of 18 industry-wide reliability indicators were established to determine grid reliability, adequacy, and associated risks. She is widely recognized as a pioneer and trusted world leader in the field.
Before joining NERC, Dr. Bian was with PJM, ERCOT and Westinghouse Electric. She earned her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Tulane University and published over 70 articles.
