Join us for a technical talk by Mr. Chris Hamilton, Manager of Control Room Operations at New York ISO


Talk Summary:
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is responsible for ensuring the reliable operation of New York’s electric grid, planning for future energy needs, and managing competitive wholesale electricity markets. The NYISO Control Room staff are responsible for the moment-to-moment real-time decision making to ensure reliability needs are fully met, even under uncertain or unexpected circumstances. The energy markets play an essential role in this task. This talk will give an overview to the interplay between market forces and time-sensitive decision making performed by NYISO's grid operators.
