Karen Onaran of ELCON discussed reducing barriers to new clean energy technologies to achieve the Biden administration's goal of zero carbon electricity by 2050. This will require tripling the nation's electric transmission infrastructure at a cost of $2.4 trillion. Advanced technologies like dynamic line ratings, ambient-adjusted ratings, phasor measurement units, and fault annunciating transmission vaults can optimize grid operations and potentially save customers billions by expanding existing infrastructure capacity. Federal regulators are promoting these technologies through orders and rulemakings requiring transmission providers to consider them in planning and markets.

Monetising Distributed Energy Resources

Justin Hayward

This document discusses how to better monetize the economic potential of distributed energy resources (DERs) like rooftop solar. It argues that current power system design and regulation only considers bulk power transmission and does not provide the right incentives for DERs. It recommends (1) establishing more granular locational and time-based pricing signals, (2) having distribution networks create "missing markets" to value services from DERs like peak shaving, and (3) using alternative planning techniques like "real options" to properly value the flexibility provided by DERs. This would help transition power systems to make better use of DERs and intermittent generation.

The document discusses various challenges and opportunities in India's electricity transmission sector. It notes challenges in transmission planning due to uncertainties in generation sources and scheduling. Construction faces issues with land acquisition, statutory clearances, and skilled labor shortages. Implementation is challenged by tight commissioning timelines. Grid security and reliability pose ongoing issues around adherence to standards, congestion management, and protection systems. A transition to a market-based system through measures like general network access could help address some issues by providing generators flexibility while empowering states in transmission development.

Show and Tell - Flexibility & Hydrogen Integration.pdf

SIFOfgem

This is the last in a series of 'Show and Tell' webinars from the Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund Discovery phase, covering projects focused on increasing flexibility sources in the energy system and hydrogen deployment and integrations. The energy system is made up of a complex range of activity across networks, markets, supply, and demand. A range of organisations play crucial roles in managing various parts of this system. Working across traditional boundaries can create opportunities for better integration of services to consumers, who typically experience the system as a whole. Innovative whole system solutions are required to optimise the system, reducing costs whilst enhancing the experience of consumers. You will hear from SIF projects looking to increase sources of energy system flexibility and integrate hydrogen effectively into the system. The Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) is an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with Innovate UK, part of UKRI. The SIF aims to fund network innovation that will contribute to achieving Net Zero rapidly and at lowest cost to consumers, and help transform the UK into the ‘Silicon Valley’ of energy, making it the best place for high-potential businesses to grow and scale in the energy market.
