About us
The Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG), previously known as the Utility Wind Integration Group (UWIG), was established in 1989 to provide a forum for the critical analysis of wind for utility applications. Initially focused on wind power, UWIG expanded its focus to include solar power and distributed generation and become known as the Utility Variable-Generation Integration Group in 2011. In 2018, driven by the economics and growth of renewable energy and the interdependent nature of the global energy industry, the association expanded its focus beyond the electricity system of today. These expanding perspectives around energy, and the growing need for coordination across the ways that we produce, convert, deliver and use energy, are the reasons we have become the Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG). This new positioning fulfills ESIG’s commitment to create a vibrant, compelling, and sustainable professional association that provides our members with the timely sharing and distribution of information, research, analysis, operations knowledge and peer-to-peer networking required by the changing global energy industry and the future industry landscape. ESIG does this by providing: - Collaborative thought leadership at the forefront of energy systems integration and operations. - Technically-grounded information and education without lobbying, selling or advocating. - Timely review and distribution of research on emerging technologies and practices. - Solutions that maximize asset utilization and optimize profits. CURRENT UVIG MEMBERS: We offer current members the opportunity to become more engaged and interactive with one another in a private forum. To help in this endeavor, ESIG has created private groups on LinkedIn. Members will engage in conversation, bounce ideas off one another and do a bit of virtual networking. The concept of the groups is to gather together in one place all relevant information on the topic of interest, and make it easily available to the members. The five technical working groups and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) User Group are a prominent membership benefit, focusing on specific areas of interest to its members: - Reliability Working Group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12046646) - System Operation and Market Design Working Group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12048271) - Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Working Group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12045881) - System Planning Working Group (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12046628) - Research and Education Working Group First, you will need to join the group by clicking one of the links above. You will then click on the ‘Ask to Join’ button found on this page. Once we receive your request and confirm your membership in the group, you will be able to begin active conversations within the private forum.

🚨 NEW ESIG REPORT 🚨 ESIG's latest report, Interregional Transmission for Resilience: Using Regional Diversity to Prioritize Additional Interregional Transmission, sets forth a methodology for assessing where additional interregional transmission capability can provide the greatest benefits for system resilience. There is a growing need to ensure that electricity systems remain robust and adaptable in the face of future load growth, a changing resource mix, and a changing climate. Interregional transmission improves grid resilience by allowing regions to access diverse resources in neighboring regions not affected by the same weather and load conditions. But despite the potential benefits, current planning processes often overlook the resilience value of interregional transmission, focusing on local reliability solutions within only a small geographical region.

Standing room only at a recent breakfast panel hosted by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) and Clean Grid Alliance on the market and operational benefits of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, held in conjunction with the Mid-America Regulatory Conference (MARC) in Minneapolis. Special thanks to James Okullo at ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group) for a great presentation and to our panelists Commissioner Marcus Hawkins, Commissioner Joseph Sullivan, Commissioner Andrew French, Jarred Milan, and Daniel Gunderson for a lively discussion on the role HVDC could play in MISO's LRTP Tranche 2. Great to see commissioners from Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois in attendance!

Thanks for representing ESIG, James Okullo. We look forward to hearing more about your experience at the GET SET Workshop.
⭐Day 1 - GET SET GO⭐ 💡 What an Insightful start to Grid-Enhancing Technologies for a Smart Energy Transition (GET SET) Workshop (Learn more about the initiative here -> https://lnkd.in/g3QA5W4R) organized between EPRI, ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group), Global Power System Transformation Consortium , North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and North American Transmission Forum, Inc. to share experiences and discuss the next steps. We have a full house filled with Operators, Planners, Consultants, Regulators and Policymakers, Utilities, ISOs, Technology Providers and National Labs. We had two wonderful Panel sessions so far. 🥇 Daniel Brooks, James Okullo, Kerry Cheung, and Howard Gugel, with Host Anna Lafoyiannis, discussed GETs in general: ➡ What are GETs, and How can they play a key role in NetZero, Decarbonization, and Electrification efforts? ➡ The importance of having an open forum to share experiences around implementation and integration of GETs? ➡ Why this is the prime time for GETs? 🥈 Mauricio Areiza, Ivan Hojskak, Mike Fiske, and Peter Haswell, with host Alberto Del Rosso, discussed Experiences with Advanced Power Flow Controllers ➡ Where do current installations exist? ➡ What lessons were learned? ➡ What are the next steps to scale this up? --------------------------------------------------------- The day ended with three more amazing panel sessions: 🥇 Gary Sibilant and Greg Bennett discussed Experiences with Advanced Conductors ➡ Who are the different technology providers? ➡ What are some of the installation challenges? ➡ What are the gaps and barriers we need to address to derisk the application of Advanced Conductors? 🥈 Jay Caspary and Kevin Frick discussed Topology Optimization: ➡ What is the current status quo in the industry? ➡ How does it impact operations and planning? ➡ What are the opportunities to accelerate its application? 🥉 Justin Bell, Amanda Martin, and Alan Ettlinger, with host Andrew Phillips, discussed some of the lessons learned on Dynamic Line Ratings: ➡ What are the lessons learned from deployments and testing? ➡ What different technology providers are there today? ➡ How can we develop some standards (especially hardware) for the implementation of this type of technology? Stay tuned for more updates on Day 2! #GridEnhancingTechnologies #AdvancedConductors #DynamicLineRatings #AdvancedPowerFlowControllers #TopologyOptimization #GETSET

We're kicking off a new effort next week centered on EV Load Forecasting with a webinar. I'll be covering some of what we learned over the last year with the ESIG (Energy Systems Integration Group) Grid Planning for Vehicle Electrification Task Force. Julieta Giraldez will be outlining the new DOE initiative aimed to create an EV Load Forecasting guide. And Paige Jadun will outline some research on quantifying uncertainty in EV charging. Join for the webinar, or just let us know if you want to be involved. https://lnkd.in/e-Tgie5g
