What’s Trending with Power System Loads, PV Resources, and Generator Emissions During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

RECORDING available to Members.  Please reach out to kdube@ctpower.org

Join Connecticut Power and Energy Society (CPES) and Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) Energy Section on May 28th from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM as they jointly host this timely webinar and hear from leading experts about the latest data and insights from Connecticut DEEP and ISO New England on what’s trending with power system loads, PV resources, and generator emissions.

The current pandemic has resulted in significant shifts in the energy sector. As a result, there are many questions that we will explore, such as:
 
  • How is the region’s daily electric consumption changing?
  • How are PV resources affecting demands on the electric grid?
  • How are load forecasters responding to this dynamic situation? 
  • What can we learn from satellite imagery and other monitored data about emissions from a variety of sources during the COVID-19 shutdown?
 
Featured speakers:
 
  • Tracy Babbidge, Chief, Bureau of Air Management, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
  • Mike Knowland, Manager, Forecast and Scheduling, ISO New England
 
This webinar is FREE for CPES and CBA members, registration is required. Information to access the webinar will be emailed directly to registrants.
 
CLE CREDITS:
CT: 1 CLE Credits* | NY: 0.0 CLE Credits**
 
Registration is being administered by the CT Power and Energy Society and credit will not be automatically posted to your CLE Tracker. Credit is self-reportable.
 

New Energy Professionals: ISO New England 101 Tour

Wrap Up |  Presentation Slides

On Tuesday, April 10, ISO New England hosted nearly 30 CPES members at its backup control center in Windsor for a morning of “ISO-NE 101”. 

Subject matter experts from system and transmission planning discussed how ISO plans for the future power grid, ensuring that the regional transmission system can reliably deliver power to consumers under a wide range of future system conditions.

Next, external affairs representatives provided an overview of how state energy policies are driving changes regionally. Finally, a member from ISO’s operations team gave a tour of the control room and discussed how ISO’s operators ensure that the grid runs reliably 365 days a year.

Join the New Energy Professionals of CPES for an “ISO-NE 101” overview and control room tour at the backup control center in Windsor on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 from 8:45 AM – 11:00 AM. The overview will be presented by ISO subject matter experts and will cover system and transmission planning and a regional update.

Subject matter experts from system and transmission planning will cover how ISO plans for the grid’s future. The focus will be on how ISO meets its central mission of ensuring that the regional transmission system can reliably deliver power to consumers under a wide range of future system conditions.

External affairs will present a regional update, providing a high level overview of state energy policies, including clean energy procurements and how these impact the overall energy system, and energy-security challenges.

Due to the high level of security, all visitors must be pre-registered and screened.  Further details and instructions will be emailed to you to complete the registration process. Priority will also be given to CPES New Energy Professional Members.  The tour is Full, but we are accepting wait list interest. Email KDube@ctpower.org
