Webinar: Integrating Large Loads Interconnection, Performance Requirements, and Modeling

Описание: Featured Speakers: Kyle Thomas, Vice President of Engineering and Compliance Services, Elevate; Dr. Parag Mitra, Principal Technical Leader, Electric Power Research Institute (USA); Ahmed Rashwan, Vice President of Transmission Planning and Operations, Electric Power Engineers

About the Webinar: As large, power-electronics-dominated loads such as data centers, advanced manufacturing facilities and hydrogen electrolyzers connect at unprecedented scale and speed, system planners and operators are facing new. This webinar presents the findings and recommendations from three ESIG Large Load Task Force project teams focused on (1) large-load interconnection processes and study practices, (2) technical performance requirements for large loads, and (3) modeling approaches needed to accurately assess system impacts across planning and operations time horizons. The webinar will summarize key gaps identified in current practices, highlight emerging best practices from utilities, ISOs/RTOs, and developers, and discuss practical recommendations to improve study interconnection process, ensure predictable and reliable load performance, and enable consistent, high-quality modeling of modern large loads. This webinar concludes the current LLTF workstreams on these topics and provides actionable insights for stakeholders preparing for continued growth in large-load interconnections.
