Abstract:  When a home water heater automatically demands 6kW of power, why should you care about an alternating current (AC) “Interconnection” immediate response? When the sun goes down and solar power quickly fades, will renewable energy storage resources immediately respond to meet customer demand? What are the basic Laws of Physics which apply to every Interconnection? Will each Interconnection’s response be dynamically stable and reliable?
This seminar explores Risk Management basic and complex case studies which show how we can meet customer reliability expectations . . . even during increased penetration of renewable Distributed Energy Resources (DER). “Interconnection” boundaries vary in size from a multi-Country/State geographical area, territory, island, or an independent micro-grid. Numerous “Interconnection“ geographical boundaries exist worldwide, and size matters. You are likely to someday have customers in many of these Interconnections.
