🔍EnerNex is excited to attend the IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting and EMTP® International User Conference🔎 Here’s a deep dive into the presentation that Muhammad Humayun is presenting at EMTP:    🌟 Sustained Overvoltage due to Zero Sequence Resonance for Shunt Compensated #Transmission Lines, 7/26, 11:00AM-11:40AM.      Shunt compensation reactors, used in long AC transmission lines, mitigate overvoltages from capacitive charging under light loads. However, they can cause operational challenges like sustained overvoltages due to zero sequence resonance in unbalanced conditions, often from circuit breaker malfunctions causing one- or two-phase disconnections. This resonance occurs between shunt reactors and phase capacitance in disconnected phases, potentially damaging equipment. Muhammad’s presentation will cover:  ▪ Zero Sequence Resonance: Background and resulting overvoltages.  ▪ Case Study: Example from a large US wind project.  ▪ EMTP Simulations: Investigating resonance in shunt compensated lines.  ▪ Mitigation Measures: Including neutral grounding reactors and protection schemes.    #EnergyManagement #DemandResponse #EnerNex #RenewableEnergy #EMTP #IEEEPES #PowerEngineering 

🔍EnerNex is excited to attend the IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting🔎 Here’s a deep dive into the panel that Jens Schoene is chairing: 🌟Distribution System State Estimation from Utility Perspective: Practical Challenges, Solutions, and Benefits. 7/25, 8:00 AM-10:00 AM, Room 439🌟 A Distribution System State Estimator (DSSE) provides situational awareness to operators and Smart Grid applications. These applications include: Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) ▪ Circuit Re-Configuration ▪ Volt-Var Optimization (VVO) ▪ Optimal #PowerFlow (OPF) ▪ Circuit-phase and topology identifications Many electrical utilities are in the process of implementing DSSE and #SmartGrid applications as part of their grid modernization effort to improve reliability and asset utilization, avoid problems caused by Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and predict load response to market or other signals. This panel reports on utilities’ experiences with these #GridModernization efforts, focusing on the successes and challenges with integrating DSSE in operational tools to support Smart Grid applications. #PowerQuality #EnerNex #RenewableEnergy #IEEEPES #PowerEngineering

While traditional maintenance approaches focus on asset preservation and reliability, Performance Focused Maintenance (PFM) seeks to establish maintenance targets that match strategic service-level requirements towards reaching an organization’s business goals. This holistic approach is taken to overcome some of the existing shortcomings of maintenance approaches. 2/3    ✅Questions to assess a utility’s capability level to maintain #resiliency and diagnose your current state of preparedness.    🔲Does the utility have an establishment of a comprehensive maintenance plan that leverages one or several of the maintenance optimization models that most effectively match functional needs to budget constraints?  🔲Does the utility regularly execute actions associated with a comprehensive maintenance plan that is broadly accepted and implemented across the utility at an enterprise level?  🔲Does the utility regularly review comprehensive maintenance plans to refine and update maintenance practices and actions?    There are several steps that can be proactively taken to strengthen a utility's resiliency maintenance.

GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) has just released an architectural guide focused on preparing for the future needs and additions of our electric grid. Thanks to our own Aaron Snyder and the #GWAC team for their contributions to this effort.

The quest for greater utility resiliency is an ongoing pursuit that continuously takes shape over time. Before a utility can effectively advance resiliency, it must first identify the validity and effectiveness of its existing resiliency plans. 1/3   ✅ Discover our resiliency management checklist to evaluate how effectively your utility manages resiliency.    🔲 Do your infrastructure standards and processes have an established comprehensive set of key standard-driven processes for reinforcement and hardening distribution system infrastructure?  🔲 Do your infrastructure programs and audits include a well-established set of measures to ensure the fidelity and gradual improvement of the distribution system infrastructure?  🔲 Have you developed a comprehensive plan for infrastructure modifications, including an assessment for undergrounding at the distribution level?    Download our #Whitepaper to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g79C-faV    #DistributionSystems #GridModernization #EnerNex  #climateresilience #InfrastructureInvestment
