Richmond IEEE PES Fall Online Seminar - Battery Technology and Application in Power Grids
Battery Technology and Application in Power Grids
Date: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22ND, 2020
Place: WEB - ON-LINE TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Topic:
How to store energy economically has been a challenging problem for the power industry. With an increasing penetration of renewable energy, the need for energy storage becomes more essential, more realistic, and economical. There have been many battery energy storage applications around the US and the world. In this seminar, the industry experts are invited to present various topics on battery energy storage, such as energy storage technologies, use cases, and the application in distributed energy resources interconnection. This seminar will help attendees to get a better understanding of battery energy storage technology itself and its application in power grids.

Dr. Babak Enayati of National Grid, USA
Benefits and challenges of distributed energy resources and battery application
Abstract: Benefits and challenges of distributed energy resources and battery application
Many countries have implemented renewables portfolio standards (RPSs) to accelerate the pace of deployment of renewables generation, which are distributed across the distribution power system. As the penetration of renewable power generation increases, electricity grids are beginning to experience challenges, which are often caused by intermittent nature of some renewable generation types, sudden changes of the output power due to grid disturbances, low short circuit duty of the inverter based generators, and impact on the transmission and distribution system protection. Due to the increasing amount of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) interconnections with the Electric Power System, the IEEE 1547 standard went through a major revision to address some of the technical challenges associated with high penetration of DERs i.e. grid support functionalities, etc. This session will provide the participants with the opportunity to learn about the benefits and challenges of the renewable energy resources interconnections as well as major changes to the IEEE 1547 i. e. voltage regulation, response to abnormal system conditions (including voltage and frequency ride through), power quality, islanding, interoperability, etc. The participants will also learn about the utility concerns/solutions to adopt the revised IEEE 1547 standard. National Grid’s experience with smart inverters i. e. how to set power factor and Volt/VAR based on the location of the solar facility will also be presented at this webinar.

Babak is a registered Professional Engineer (PE) in the state of Massachusetts.
James H Kennedy of MEPPI, USA
Battery energy technology overview and application
With a broad range of applications, energy storage deployment has grown significantly in the past years both at the transmission and distribution level. This presentation will focus on utility scale energy storage technologies, use cases, system safety, battery performance, installation techniques, and system integration.
Biography:
James H Kenney joined Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc.'s Substation Division in March 2019. His primary responsibility is to design and plan for engineering, procurement, construction, monitoring and maintenance of utility scale battery energy storage systems. Mr. Kennedy has led technical and commercial negotiations to deliver turn-key storage system to utilities and power plant project developers in North America. He is a member of IEEE PES and has participated in EPRI's Energy Storage Integration Council and the Energy Storage Association.
