Flexible and Fast Response Controllable Resources
Event Description and Agenda:
The increasing penetration of renewable energy resources — combined with the gradual, but inexorable, shift away from traditional baseload generation and other changes in the distribution and grid profile — are creating new challenges for utilities/load-serving entities, balancing area authorities and transmission system operators. The need for grid-integrated resources that can deliver fast ramp and flexible balancing resource options has led to examination of what technologies already exist that can provide such resource characteristics economically over a long-term planning time-frame to ensure grid stability and reliability. The list of technologies and devices includes such things as PV, aggregated DR and other behind-the-meter resources, flexible storage devices such as grid-integrated water heaters and ice, community storage, virtual power plants and electric vehicles. This program will explore what North American and international utilities, load-serving entities, merchant generators, balancing authorities, and regional transmission system operators are doing to define, evaluate and implement strategies that allow their systems to better integrate flexible resource approaches into their operations. It will devote special attention to the sources of flexible-load distributed energy resources (DERs) already available to provide flexible and fast response services, and how utilities can leverage these existing resources within their systems. In addition, it will examine what the organized electricity markets are doing to accommodate these flexibility products and services in their short-term (day-ahead and real-time) markets. Finally, the program will assess the role that market participants, project developers, and technology providers will play in bringing these services, products, and other strategies into the grid mainstream. Learning Outcomes Attendees will cover materials and engage in discussions that will allow them to:
