Relying almost entirely on energy from variable renewable energy sources (vRES) will require a transformation in the way power systems are planned and operated. This webinar will present the report "Power System Strategic Flexibility Roadmap". This work outlines steps for overcoming the challenges in creating power systems with the flexibility needed to maintain system security and reliability while relying primarily on variable energy resources. The work is largely a synthesis of the many reports and studies on this subject. It seeks to summarize that body of work for a less technical audience that will need to put in place the policies, technical changes, and institutional systems necessary to make the power system of the future a reality. For this work we gathered opinions from a dedicated power system flexibility advisory panel, through two meetings, e- mail exchanges, and an online survey.
Time to step up performance-based energy efficiency measurement and verificat...Leonardo ENERGY
How can you know for sure the energy you’ve saved through your building renovation? The answer is that you can’t! But, by measuring energy consumption and taking account of other factors, such as the weather and building occupancy, you can make a much better estimate than by simply relying on installers’ claims of effectiveness. This is well understood in industry, where contracts for energy efficiency projects are routinely set up to reward energy service companies for the savings made, based on measurement and verification protocols such as IPMVP. This shifts much of the technical risk of underperformance onto the energy service contractor, aligning incentives and driving better performance. Policy makers in the US have begun to apply these principles to utility-delivered energy efficiency programmes in the buildings sector as part of efforts to drive up performance and provide better value for money for bill payers. The EU now has the opportunity to follow suit.

How demand for flexibility will develop in the German power systemLeonardo ENERGY
The Webinar presents the results of a research project on flexibility in the German power sector. It analyses the flexibility demand with a rising share of RES-E and compares different flexibility options.
The project consists of a model-based scenario analysis for 2020, 2030 and 2050 and applies the electricity system model PowerFlex together with a European network model to analyze import and export as a flexibility option.
Flexibility becomes an issue only in the scenario 2030 with 60 % RES-E. In 2020 additional flexibility can increase efficiency, but is not essential to run the system or to integrate RES-E.

Flexibility options in the electricity systemLeonardo ENERGY
It is widely recognised that increasing flexibility is key for the reliable operation of future power systems with very high penetration levels of variable renewable energy sources. The starting point of this webinar is the understanding of the flexibility requirements for enabling the transition to such power systems. A comprehensive assessment of the complete spectrum of flexibility options will be provided, identifying key barriers for their deployment. This analysis follows a study carried out by Ecofys for the European Copper Institute.

Energy efficiency: a profit center for companies! Leonardo ENERGY
Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the ener-gy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and fi-nancial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Ener-gy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collabora-tion Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public program-mers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Am-sterdam.

Framework conditions for the integration of flexibility options Leonardo ENERGY
Until high RES-E shares are reached flexibility is not a bottleneck. However, it is important to actually develop the options that have been modelled to increase efficiency in the short-term and provide the options needed in the long-term.
To provide an efficient amount of flexibility barriers that distort competition, hinder options from entering the market or create unnecessary demand need to be adressed.
The presentation provides an overview of the relevant areas that affect the development of flexibility options as well as suggestions on how the framework for flexibility can be designed.

This webinar addresses the key drivers of the PV market and industry in the coming years based on the Trends 2019. Gaëtan Masson, Operating Agent of IEA PVPS Task 1, will look at the past developments and future scenarios, from a global market development point of view to some key price evolution features. From social aspects of PV, collective and decentralised self-consumption policies to floating PV, this webinar will browse the global landscape of PV development. Izumi Kaizuka, deputy chair of the IEA PVPS Task 1, will present the trends of the PV Industry. The production of polysilicon, ingots, wafers, PV cells and modules have been growing with the growth of the PV market. The gap between manufacturing capacity of PV module and the demand contributed to the recent price reduction thus resulted in lower LCOE of PV power. Across the value chain, the PV upstream sector makes efforts to improve efficiency, output and reliability. Further progress of cost reduction is expected. In the downstream sector, players are also applying various methods to reduce LCOE.
Storage technologies have the potential to help integrate renewable energy sources into electricity grids and enable more reliable and efficient energy systems. Storage can store excess electricity from intermittent renewable sources like solar and wind, and discharge it when needed to help balance supply and demand on the grid. Currently, different storage technologies are best suited for different applications depending on factors like cost, storage duration, and whether they are used for stationary or mobile energy storage. As technology advances, costs are expected to decline for many storage types, opening up new potential applications and use cases to support renewable energy adoption.

Wipro Energy Storage Webinar - Managing and maximising value from distributed...Felipe Kovacic
The panel discussion focused on the opportunities for distributed energy storage in disrupting the electric utility industry. Distributed energy storage is being driven by the growth of solar PV installations and batteries. It allows retailers to become integrated solution providers and distributed energy storage providers to offer new services. These include aggregated generation during peak periods, deferring network upgrades, and demand management. Distributed energy storage also enables new business models for distributors like microgrids and zone substation deferral through centralized batteries. Dynamic management of distributed storage fleets will create additional revenue streams for multiple stakeholders in the industry.
1. The document evaluates three main revenue streams for energy storage: providing flexibility to the power system, supplying energy to lower bills for customers, and managing local distribution networks.
2. Revenue from providing flexibility services to the power system is seen as the most stable over the next five years, but revenue from other streams may increase with regulatory changes.
3. For local network management to be a significant revenue stream, storage projects would need to demonstrate clear benefits over alternatives and achieve a return on investment under 8 years, with over 50% of revenue coming from the distribution system operator.
The document summarizes a Smart Grid event discussing battery storage. It includes an agenda for presentations and panel on battery storage applications moderated by Sean Atkins of Alston & Bird. Presenters will discuss regulatory issues around battery storage, Southern Company's battery demonstrations, and GS Battery's PV battery projects in New Mexico and Georgia. The event is sponsored by various organizations and will take place on August 30th in Atlanta, GA.

Balancing services help maintain the frequency of the power grid by providing short-term energy or capacity reserves. They include balancing energy, which system operators use to maintain grid frequency, and balancing capacity, which providers agree to keep available. Different balancing services have varying activation speeds to respond to frequency deviations. Harmonization efforts in Europe are working to establish common balancing markets and platforms for cross-border exchange of reserves.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract between an electricity generator and purchaser that defines the conditions for the sale of electricity. PPAs provide price stability and help finance renewable energy projects by guaranteeing revenue. There are physical PPAs, which deliver electricity directly, and virtual PPAs, which financially settle the contract without physical delivery. PPAs benefit both renewable developers by enabling project financing, and buyers seeking long-term electricity price certainty and renewable attributes.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Limitations to “Value Stacking”
The ability of storage to simultaneously provide multiple value
streams is constrained by locational and operational limitations
Locational limitations: Benefits derived from avoided outages and deferred T&D
investment tend to be site-specific
Operational limitations: Arise because amount of energy stored islimited
Example modeling assumptions to account for constraints in “value stacking”:
– T&D deferral: Assume storage deployed for T&D deferral prioritizes reducing local peak load
over all other services
– Capacity: Assume storage must fully charge in advance of system peak load hours
– Energy: Dispatch is affected by T&D deferral and capacity requirements; cannot
simultaneously provide energy and certain ancillary services
– Customer outage reduction value: Assume outages cannot be anticipated and have 50% SOC
at time of event; but in reality storage operators can chose to be at full charge in anticipation
of outage events (e.g., forecast storms). Assumes microgrid islanding capabilities.
Our simulations show that these limits do not substantially reduce the joint
value relative to sum of individual value streams

State Regulatory Example: California’s
Multiple-Use Applications (MUA)
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has adopted 11 stacking
rules to govern multiple-use distributed and utility-scale storage applications
1. Customer-side storage can provide all services
2. Distribution-system storage can provide all services except the customer-side services
3. Transmission-system storage can provide all except customer-side and distribution-system services
4. All storage resources can provide: resource adequacy, transmission, and wholesale-market services
5. Reliability services must have priority
6. Reliability services provided must not be in conflict or mutually exclusive
7. Different portions of capacity can be dedicated to perform different services
8. Provision of each service must be enforceable, including through penalties for non-performance
9. In response to a utility request for offer, storage providers must list (and update over time) any
services provided outside of the solicitation
10.The storage resource must comply with all specified availability and performance requirements
11.Compensation is permitted only for measurable services which are incremental and distinct; the same
service can be counted and compensated only once

Transmission & Distribution Deferral Value
Sources and Notes:
Hledik et al. (2018). The Economic Potential for Energy Storage in Nevada. Points reflect individual projects from NV Energy’s 2018
transmission and distribution capital expenditure outlook identified as deferrable by storage. Although NV Energy’s outlook is over a 10-
year span, we annualize the size and value of opportunities. We order projects by $/kW-year value, and plot to estimate the marginal
benefit for storage from T&D investment deferral. Values in nominal dollars.

Benefit of Upsized Solar and
Avoided “Peak Clipping”
– Solar PV facilities are typically developed
with solar panel capacity that exceedsthe
capacity of the inverter
– Transmission interconnection limits may
impose similar constraints
– At times when the output of the panels
exceeds the limit, that energy is “clipped”
(i.e. unused)
Storage can charge from solar PV output that would be wasted due to inverter or
interconnection capacity limits. Energy can be discharged at higher value later.
– Batteries behind the solar PV facility’s
inverter (i.e., DC-coupled) or constrained
interconnection point are able to charge
from the output that otherwise wouldbe
“clipped”
– Peak clipping can significantly decrease
the facility’s average costs and increase its
energy and capacity revenues
– This finding is highly dependent on the
sizing of the battery, solar array, inverter,
and transmission interconnection limits

(690 MW solar, 380 MW/1,416 MWh storage)
Benefits and Costs of “Gemini” Solar+Storage
Source: Direct Testimony of Ryan Hledik on Behalf of Arevia, PUCN Docket
No. 19-06039, September 26, 2019.
Key Findings
– Net benefits to customers of the Gemini
solar+storage project range between
$500 million and $1.3 billion (present
value)
– Benefit-cost ratio of between 1.6 and
2.4, depending on which value streams
are counted as benefits
– Energy value alone exceeds the costs of
the project
– Significant storage capacity provides
ability to respond to real-time
fluctuations in supply and demand,
resulting in operational flexibility that
will “future proof” the resource as
market conditions evolve

V. Takeaways
28. Main Takeaways
– Battery storage will undoubtedly become an increasingly important part
of power systems as costs continue to decline
– Deployment of battery storage is growing rapidly
• Interconnection queues indicate growing interest in storage by
developers
• Renewable+storage becoming increasingly competitive even with new
gas plants, particularly in the Southwest
• Increasing need for flexibility due to growing renewable energy
development will increase the value of storage
– Overall, we anticipate that battery storage will add significant value to
power systems, but new tools will be needed to ensure its grid visibility
and controllability
– Market operators, resource planners, transmission and distribution
system planners, and regulators all need to learn to utilize storage as a
new technology option

Challenges of Operating a System with Significant
Storage
– How to reliably operate many small and distributed battery storage
systems across all wholesale market products?
– How to evaluate the capacity value of storage as increasing amounts of
storage is deployed on the system?
– How to ensure sufficient visibility into operations and control?
– How to monitor and mitigate offers from storage?
– How to coordinate control across wholesale and non-wholesale uses?
– What are storage’s interconnection rules?
– How to integrate storage into transmission and distribution system
planning and operations?
Further actions by FERC, states, and system operators are needed to unlock
storage’s full value and manage planning/operational/coordination challenges
